New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy presides over the state with the highest taxes and worst business climate in all of America. Yes, even worse than Illinois. But instead of working to fix that, he says he wants to use the power of the Garden State purse to punish banks and retailers who refuse to submit to his additional failed gun control measures.

From the New York Times, who refer to this political stunt as a “novel gun control strategy:”

New Jersey intends to stop doing business with gun manufacturers and retailers that fail to adopt policies, like conducting background checks, to stop guns from falling into the wrong hands, becoming the first state to take such stringent action against the firearms industry.

The state will also apply pressure on major financial institutions, seeking information from banks that do business with New Jersey about their relationships and policies involving gun makers and sellers.

The state, which says it pays more than $1 billion in bank fees every year, could use the disclosure requirements to decide whether to continue doing business with financial firms.

New Jersey estimates that it spends more than $70 million per year on firearms, supplies and ammunition for the State Police and other law enforcement agencies.

Really? Retailers and manufacturers that don’t follow state and federal laws? Name one. We’ll wait.

In a nutshell, the assiduously anti-gun Governor Murphy is trying to leverage his almost-bankrupt state’s meager spending to coerce private, law-abiding companies to adopt policies similar to those the misguided state government has seen fit to implement. Because enforced corporate gun control is a small price to pay for making the entire state of New Jersey (allegedly) crime-free.

Yet NJ is home to several Pharmaceutical Corporations, will they be next on the BDS list?

Will the Governor demand AmBev shutdown the huge Budweiser facility near EWR
Liberty Freedom Int'l airport? We have to hold them responsible for DUI DWI deaths and carnage.

Magpul left CO
Let's count the companies that have left their long time homes in the Northeast (since CT went firearms-hostile and NY went S.A.F.E.):

Ruger
Most of Remington (HQ in Madison NC)
PTR (Aynor SC)
Beretta
Kahr moved to PA from NY

Then a host of foreign companies that moved straight to the South (Glock and FNH)

That leaves Smith&Wesson, Sig, Savage, Mossberg and Colt outside of NJ, and then Henry. Yep keep that train flowing South!

Not quite Fascism and a state can't be totalitarian, wonder where they would fit? Maybe democratic socialist?
 
You read this stuff, and you ask, "How can that be legal? How can a state force a bank to disclose their client list, then refuse to do business with that bank based on their client list?" Are we still living in America?
 
Once his plan succeeds, he’ll save his state $70 million ‘cause NJ LEOs won’t need firearms anymore. o_O

I may be wrong, but in essence, the banks are bidding for a government contract.

I sold Crown Vic squad cars back in the day to many different small departments. IIRC every bid request I dealt with had a clause that allowed the entity to decide if a bidder is qualified. No explanation of what that meant. In other words, if they don't like you, for any reason, you could have the best bid and still lose the business. In my case that usually meant they would prefer to give it to someone local, chiefs BIL, etc.

Legal? Apparently!

Firearms manufacturers should stop selling guns to the LEO's in the Anti gun states and cities . If the citizens don't need firearms neither do the LEO'S, it must be such a safe place to live.

That's what I was referring to when I said "If only they would". (ed: although the original was talking about ammo) But I don't see it happening, on either front.
