Murphy proposes 8 sweeping new gun laws in wake of rising homicides, shootings nationwide – nj.com

By Thomas A. Smith

Gov. Phil Murphy proposed a host of new gun policies Thursday, including only giving permits to residents who pass gun safety classes and raising the purchasing age from 18 to 21.

The proposals follow the surging number of homicides in New Jersey and several mass shootings in other parts of the country.

If enacted, the changes would perhaps be the most sweeping gun violence prevention package in the history of our nation, Murphy said to more than 100 people during a press conference in a Newark community center.
