TRENTON —Call it Cryan’s revenge.
Senate President Stephen Sweeney’s enterpiece bill to overhaul the way the state issues firearms IDs and conducts background checks stalled in the Assembly Law and Public Safety committee today after Sweeney’s political adversary, Assemblyman Joseph Cryan (D-Union), abstained on it.
Cryan’s support was crucial to advancing the bill (S2723). Every Republican on the committee opposed it, as did Assemblyman Nelson Albano (D-Cumberland) – who represents a rural South Jersey district and typically votes against gun control legislation. That left Democrats short one vote.
