Quigley bill limiting handgun purchases to one a month receives final legislative ok

(TRENTON) – Legislation Assemblywoman Joan M. Quigley sponsored to make it illegal to buy more than one handgun a month in New Jersey - a restriction aimed at helping curtail gun access by criminal street gangs – received final legislative approval early this morning.

The Senate voted 21-15 to approve the bill. It was approved by the Assembly in June 2008 and now goes to the governor.

If enacted, New Jersey would become the fourth state to restrict handgun purchases to one a month, behind Virginia, Maryland, and California.

“There’s no good reason why anyone would need to purchase large quantities of handguns all at once,” said Quigley (D-Hudson). “Providing criminals and gang leaders one-stop shopping to outfit themselves with weapons is the obvious implication of bulk handgun purchasing.”

Under the bill (A-339), a person who possesses a handgun purchaser permit would be prohibited from buying more than one handgun in New Jersey per calendar month.

Makes sense but it will not help, since criminals are not going to licensed shops to buy hand guns.

I assume this bill will excluded guns shops.
