NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — New Jersey Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy on Thursday called for a dozen new gun control measures, a sweeping election-year agenda aimed at tightening laws already considered among the toughest in the nation.
Murphy unveiled the measures in Newark, the state’s largest city, during a more than an hourlong, rally-like event in a crowded community center. The Democrat-led Legislature will weigh in on most of the measures, and in a sign of legislative support, influential state lawmakers like state Sen. Teresa Ruiz and Assembly Majority Leader Louis Greenwald attended the event and spoke.
