Are New State Gun Laws Enough or Too Much?

By Jason Koestenblatt

The conversation around stiffening gun laws jumped back into the national spotlight in December 2012 after a crazed gunman killed 20 children and six adults in a Connecticut elementary school. 

Since then governing bodies from the municipal level all the way up to the President of the United States have taken action to enhance gun control or the ways people obtain firearms.

Last week, Governor Chris Christie signed a slew of new bills into law for New Jersey that include harsher penalties for unlawful possession of firearms and requiring the state to submit mental health records to the federal government, according to nj.com

But there are more bills on the table that Christie has not said he would sign or veto.

What do you think of New Jersey’s new gun laws and the ones that may be signed into legislation? Is it too much control? Not enough? A step in the right direction or a step backward?
