New Jersey
New Jersey has some of the strongest gun laws in the country. From comprehensive background checks to disarming domestic abusers to a strong Extreme Risk law, New Jersey’s laws are a model for other states.
445
In an average year, 445 people die by guns in New Jersey.
34x
In New Jersey, Black people are 34 times more likely than white people to die by gun homicide, compared to 10 times nationwide.
New Jersey has laws to encourage “smart gun” technology and to combat the growing danger of untraceable, undetectable, and downloadable ghost guns. To become a safer state, New Jersey must combat the epidemic of daily gun violence in its cities and ensure its laws are effectively implemented.
