Jersey City is trying to pass a new ordinance to correct technical defects in the one a month purchase limitation they passed earlier this summer.  The new ordinance would reportedly criminalize people for purchasing or even applying to purchase more than one handgun in a 30-day period.  The measure will be debated October 11 at 6:00 pm at Jersey City Hall, 280 Grove Street, Jersey City, New Jersey 07302.  Here is the contact information for the various members of the Jersey City Council.
