New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy said the US is becoming a “patchwork quilt” of divisive laws affecting issues such as gun control, abortion, women’s rights and the environment.
The governor said he is optimistic that the state legislature, controlled by fellow Democrats, will enact stronger gun laws, but New Jersey “is not an island” and congressional action is needed. As much as 85% of guns recovered during crimes in New Jersey are from out of state, he said Thursday on Bloomberg TV’s “Balance of Power” with Joe Mathieu.
