On June 26, Governor Corzine and the New Jersey State Senate vote 21 to 15 to pass S1774, a bill that will arbitrarily ration the sale of handguns to one per month, according to a release by the National Rifle Association.
Earlier this year, S1774 was pulled from the Senate floor when the sponsor was unable to garner the necessary 21 votes for passage. This time Senator Fred Madden who previously voted “no” and committed to hold firm in that position, switched his vote and voted “yes” to ration the Constitutional right of law-abiding citizens to obtain firearms, the NRA said.
As passed, the NRA said the bill will prohibit an individual from purchasing more than one handgun within a 30-day period. The bill now moves to Governor Corzines desk for his consideration.
