Murphy Signs N.J. Gun-Safety Bills Amid Looser US Firearms Rights

(Bloomberg) -- New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy signed a package of bills touted to increase gun safety less than two weeks after the US Supreme Court weakened states’ ability to restrict carrying concealed firearms.

The signings, in Metuchen, New Jersey, came a day after at least six people were shot to death and dozens injured by a gunman at an Independence Day parade in a Chicago suburb. Murphy signed seven bills and promised more action

“These are not going to be our last words on gun safety,” he said.

The new laws include a prohibition on .50 caliber rifles, mandatory training prior to a gun purchase, tracking of ammunition sales and micro-stamping technology, so bullets can be traced to particular weapons.
