Thomas Kean Jr. on Gun Control

 


Uphold our current firearm laws

Q: Do you favor additional control on handguns and rifles?

MENENDEZ: Yes. Violence on our streets is devastating too many New Jersey families. I introduced legislation to combat gangs, which includes increased penalties for gun crimes.

KEAN: We must uphold our current firearm laws and expand prosecution of those who commit crimes with a firearm, like the 10-20-30 legislation I currently sponsored.
