Memorializes Congress and President to enact legislation establishing certain gun control measures.
ACR 72 is a New Jersey legislative resolution requesting Congress and the President to enact specific federal gun control measures. It calls for requiring background checks on all gun sales (including at gun shows), reinstating and strengthening the assault weapons ban, funding smart gun technology research and a federal gun buyback program targeting assault weapons, and repealing the Dickey Amendment to allow CDC research on gun violence. This resolution does not create new law but formally urges the federal government to adopt these policies. It is directed at Congress and the President, with no direct impact on New Jersey residents or state law.
