    | New Jersey’s governor praised lawmakers on Monday for advancing gun control measures, including legislation to prohibit the purchase of firearms parts used to make untraceable weapons, or so-called ghost guns.  “As gun violence continues to plague our country, New Jersey will lead the way by setting a higher standard for gun safety,” Gov. Phil Murphy, a Democrat, said in a statement. He stopped short of saying he would sign the measures, but called on the Democrat-led Senate to pass them. Senate President Steve Sweeney has said he intends to take up the bills.

                      | Are we at last brought to such humiliating and debasing degradation, that we cannot be trusted with arms for our defense? Where is the difference between having our arms in possession and under our direction, and having them under the management of Congress? If our defense be the real object of having those arms, in whose hands can they be trusted with more propriety, or equal safety to us, as in our own hands?  — Patrick Henry, 3 J. Elliot, Debates in the Several State Conventions 45, 2d ed. Philadelphia, 1836 |  |  |
