Imposes criminal liability on persons who allow minors to access firearms used to commit crimes.
New Jersey A2565 amends the state's statutes to impose criminal liability on individuals who allow minors to access firearms used to commit crimes. The bill upgrades the offense to a crime of the third degree if a minor gains access to an improperly stored firearm. If a minor uses the firearm to commit a crime, the firearm becomes a community gun, and the person who facilitated the minor's access to the firearm is guilty of a crime of the second degree.
