TRENTON – Three bills sponsored by Senator Shirley K. Turner (D-Mercer/Hunterdon) that target urban gun violence by setting tougher penalties and bail requirements for certain weapons offenses were approved today by the full Senate.
“Any discussion about curtailing gun violence in our communities is incomplete unless we address the gun violence that occurs everyday in our cities,” said Senator Turner. “By strengthening the laws for those who are terrorizing our communities with illegal guns, we can help to reduce the threat that these violent, repeat offenders pose to our residents.”
