New Jersey has always been a national leader in curbing gun violence and promoting gun safety. According to Everytown for Gun Safety, New Jersey ranks 8th in the country for gun law safety. This is not an accident – Democrats have put in the work at every level of our government to ensure that New Jerseyans will be safe from gun violence.

How New Jersey Democrats Have Delivered: 

• Enacted sweeping common-sense gun safety laws to protect our New Jersey communities from the rising epidemic of mass shootings and gun violence.
  

• Required comprehensive background checks that have proven to help keep guns out of the wrong hands.
  

• Prioritized the safety of women, a group at higher risk of domestic gun violence, by disarming abusive partners or stalkers and prohibiting them from obtaining weapons.

What New Jersey Democrats Are Fighting For:

• Safer communities, safer schools, safer lives. We will not allow Republicans in New Jersey to overturn the progress that has been made in getting dangerous weapons off New Jersey streets and away from dangerous people.
  

• To continue to be a leader in the nation for what fair and robust common-sense gun safety legislation looks like.
