I received a link to the above video from several gun-rights advocates, including Scott Bach of the New Jersey Association of Rifle and Pistolc Clubs (see press release here). It's a recording of the end of a Thursday meeting of the state Senate Budget Committee at which several gun-control bills were considered.
The first voice is that of Chairman Paul Sarlo. After he wraps up the meeting, it sounds like someone says "We needed a bill to confiscate, confiscate, confiscate."
Some people have speculated it might be state Senator Loretta Weinberg, a Democrat from Bergen County. I called Weinberg and she got right on the phone:
"It's not my voice," said Weinberg. She said she and her staff listened to the clip three times and couldn't identify the speaker.

Listening to the audio a number of times, it doesn't sound like Senator Weinberg to me...however, someone there did say "we needed a bill that was going to confiscate confiscate confiscate".
And that kind of flies in the face of "nobody wants to take your guns".
