Jersey City's gun rationing scheme was defeated this week because it violated state equal protection principles and state preemption.  However, the Jersey Journal today mentions that gun rationing has been taken up by the state legislature. 

"I am happy that Jersey City's ordinance has inspired pending (state) legislation that will hopefully limit gun purchases to one gun a month for the entire state," [Jersey City Mayor Jerramiah] Healy added, referring to legislation sponsored by state Sen. and Bayonne Mayor Joseph V. Doria Jr. and Jersey City Assemblywoman Joan Quigley.

A municipality might not be able to pass such an ordinance but the above legal impediments disappear when the state itself does so.  Our celebration might be short-lived.  If I am missing anything, let me know but I don’t believe there is anything preventing the state from passing such legislation.  The Second Amendment certainly is not recognized in this state.
