New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy has signed a package of legislation including a law that would allow the state attorney general to sue members of the gun industry for public nuisance violations.

In an effort to reduce gun violence in New Jersey, the governor has signed what he called the Gun Safety 3.0 package, originally introduced in the Legislature in April 2021 and signed into law July 1, 2022. The package included seven gun safety reforms designed to create safer communities in the state through what Murphy called “commonsense gun reform.”
