View Full Version : A Million New Jersey Gun Owners Ignore State’s Magazine Ban

When New Jersey passed its ban on possession of magazines containing more than 10 rounds in June, it gave the state’s million or so law-abiding gun owners 180 days to comply. The law provided five options: 1) modify the offending magazines so they could accept no more than 10 rounds; 2) “render the firearm [that accepts such magazines] inoperable”; 3) register firearms that cannot be “modified to accommodate 10 or less rounds”; 4) transfer the firearm or the magazine to “an individual or entity entitled to own or possess it”; or 5) surrender the firearm or the magazine to local law enforcement.
The million or so law-abiding gun owners selected option No.6 (https://www.ammoland.com/2018/12/new-jersey-magazine-ban-goes-into-effect/#axzz5ZtLpJL3p): ignore the law and defy its enforcement.


The 180-day period expired on December 11, and not a single magazine has been turned in to any local law-enforcement agencies, according to responses obtained from Ammoland’s John Crump: “Ammoland reached out to several local police departments in New Jersey to see how they plan on enforcing the ban, and [to learn] what the turn-in numbers have been [as of December 14]. Like the New Jersey State Police, none of these departments have a concrete plan on how to proactively enforce the ban, and none had a single report of magazines being turned over.”
The penalty for being found in possession of one of the newly offending magazines is stiff: It’s a felony, with punishment consisting of up to 18 months in jail, and up to $10,000 in fines, or both.

At 18 months and $10k in fines they better think long and hard if they even WANT to be proactive. That might be a good way to have a bad day.

Its a NJ double , An unconstitutional law that also violates excessive fines . Those state representatives should be jailed until deported . If I was Gov that is exactly what would happen to those treasonous scum .

A similar thing happened in Connecticut(?) a few years back, they were supposed to register their guns but very few did. Civil Disobedience.

There won’t be too many complaints, because it will be selectively enforced, as all law is today in the USSA...

That's true.

No one will be prosecuted on this, ..until they do something else to vex the authorities - then, the hammer.

Violates the ex post facto clause, and the Fifth amendment prohibition against uncompensated "takings" as well.

But hey, who gives a fuck about all the dead white guy patriarchal bullshit?
