New Jersey on Wednesday enacted a half-dozen new gun control laws, tightening its already strict statutes as advocates applauded and critics questioned whether they will achieve their aims.

The six measures will:
—Require a mental health professionals to warn law enforcement if a patient threatens serious violence against themselves or others
—Allow for an extreme risk protective order if a court deems someone poses a significant danger to themselves or others. The temporary court order bars the subject from possessing or purchasing a firearm or ammunition.
—Require background checks for private gun sales
—Lower the magazine capacity from 15 rounds to 10, with an exception for a popular .22-caliber rifle.
—Require residents to show a "justifiable need" to get a carry permit.
—Prohibit body-armor-penetrating ammunition.
