Governor Phil Murphy from New Jersey signed bill A4769 into law on Thursday, tightening gun restrictions in the state and triggering a lawsuit from the National Rifle Association (NRA).

Back in June, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that it was illegal to require New York applicants to show “proper cause” for carrying a handgun in public. The ruling also invalidated New Jersey laws that restricted public carry to individuals who demonstrated a “justifiable need.” Soon after that, Murphy introduced A4769.
