At a time when SCOTUS is undermining states’ efforts to protect their residents from the carnage of gun violence, today we launched the first-in-the-nation Statewide Affirmative Firearms Enforcement Office (SAFE).

Through SAFE, we will use new public nuisance legislation to hold the gun industry accountable for violations of the law that harm the health and safety of New Jersey’s residents.
Acting AG Matthew J. Platkin

Thanks to the vision and leadership of Governor Phil Murphyand the efforts of the Legislature, New Jersey is a national leader combatting the epidemic of gun violence.

With the establishment of this office we are sending a clear message to every participant in the firearms industry: if you violate our laws, you will pay.
