Its nice to see a little be of rational thinking enter the mind of NJ officials, but as long as they still see a gun as something too dangerous for law abiding citizens unless they, the government leaders, deem the citizen worthy of having an ability to protect oneself. Recent cases such as the licensed individual who crossed into NJ from PA and only avoided jail due to the uproar in the media, or the elderly professor who had an old flintlock (or maybe it was a matchlock) pistol in his glove compartment and was arrested shows that this state is still spitting on rather than upholding the 2nd Amendment. And in NJ, I do not believe that it is a partisan issue, it seems that both Republicans and Democrats are fine with leaving the general populace defenseless.
