50,000 Responsible NJ Gun Owners Opposed to What is Being 'Framed' As A Gun Violence Prevention P...
NJ Assemblyman Lou Greenwald
Dear Assembly Majority Leader Greenwald, The new legislation proposed by the New Jersey Assembly Democrats in regards to Gun Violence Prevention is truly an assault on gun owners rights. What is framed as a gun violence prevention package is poorly crafted, loaded with unintended consequences, and in many places in conflict with existing law. The proposed bills will only make law abiding gun owners into criminals overnight. None of these bills have anything to do with preventing crime. The bills in this package are unworkable. The Gun Violence Prevention Package puts NJ residents at risk of incarceration for owning items that have been owned for decades by responsible people. We respectfully ask that you not make an example out of law abiding, responsible people for the acts of a few severely mentally disturbed individuals. Through this petition we counter your claim that 34,000 people wrote to you in support of this package of bills. With this petition you have now received 50,000 signatures in opposition to the package of bills. Please respect the Constitution and follow due process of lawmaking.
Why is this important?
The new legislation proposed by the New Jersey Assembly Democrats in regards to Gun Violence Prevention is truly an assault on gun owners rights.

The bills in this package are unworkable and put people at risk of incarceration for owning items that have been owned for decades by responsible people. Every person who has signed this petition does not support the package of bills. We need 50,000 responsible gun owners who oppose this rash of bills aimed at our rights and freedoms as Americans, and NJ residents. The Assemblyman said he did not have a problem with gun owners who follow the law. His actions and support of this package have shown us otherwise.
