Statement from Governor Murphy on Third Circuit's Reinstatement of Public Nuisance Law for the Firearms Industry

Press Release

"I am thrilled that the Third Circuit has unanimously ruled to fully reinstate the public nuisance bill that I proudly signed in July 2022 that authorizes the Attorney General to hold bad actors in the firearms industry accountable for dangerous sales and marketing practices. My Administration will always fight for the safety of New Jersey residents, even when it means taking on gun sellers that put profits above innocent lives.

I want to congratulate the Attorney General's Office for winning this important victory in court. I am also deeply grateful to the prime sponsors of this law, Senate Majority Leader Teresa Ruiz and Assemblyman John McKeon, and I thank Senate President Scutari and Speaker Coughlin for their steadfast support."
