#1 "It’s at least $10 to get a dog license in Jersey City. It’s still $2 to get a permit to purchase a firearm in New Jersey,"
There's no Constitutional right to keep and bear dogs.

#2 ...Yeah, again these people haven't thought this sort of thing through. Against SCOTUS scrutiny this will last about thirty seconds.

#3 "There’s no war on responsible gun owners,"

I think politicians who lie so brazenly deserve 50,000 volts through their balls when they say such obvious bullshit. A financial war is still a war. With this and all the other crap this guy's doing, he's simply insuring more people move out of the state.

#5 So criminals and cops will be the only ones with firearms. What do criminals care about permits, fees and legal carry, they are after all criminals.

Stupidity trumps common sense. This is a twofer for New Jersey govmint. They are creating a stream of revenue for crooked politicians and about punishing law-abiding citizens who legally carry a firearm for protection.

#6 How about 100,000% increase for those filing to run for political office. Oh, hell, make it 1M increase.

#7 Of course the local mafia gets a carve out allowing them to write off the new charges as a business expense.

#8 Guns should NOT come with the job as policeman, they should get one as a private citizen and follow the same law.

#9 Upon re-election ex-governor Philip Murphy blamed the NRA for backing his candidate and turning voters against him with lies about his anti-gun policies.

#10 They're creating a state-full of scofflaws.

How you gonna enforce it, Gov? Virtue signals, perhaps?

#11 I really think it's a shame these assholes, as well as the ones in Californica, only pay four dollars a gallon per gas. It's war on the working class that the glorified perl script weenies that run the state don't have to pay thirty bucks a gallon.

#12 How do the old and new fees compare to other states? I tried to look up what it costs here in Ohio, but couldn’t find anything recent except that some years ago a concealed carry license cost $67 plus a mandatory training course,
