NJ Assembly just passed several new "gun control" laws to add to some of the most restrictive laws in the nation. Our socialist governor has already said that he will sign them.
Two are of major concern.
A2671 - Magazine Limit Ban The first one limits magazines to 10 rounds (15 is the current limit). Anyone in possession of a magazine that holds more then 10 rounds six months after the bill is signed will be guilty of a second degree felony. That would be up to 18 months in prison for EACH magazine. It is estimated that there are over 3 million magazines in NJ that hold over 10 rounds. At a retail value of approximately $30 each, the state is forcing residents to give up $90,000,000.00 worth of personal property. There is no provision for "grandfathering" or blocking of existing mags. Many NJ gun owners will never hear of this bill, and will become "unaware" felons 6 mouths after the bill is signed.
A1217 No-Notice Suspension of Gun Rights This bill allows you to have your gun rights taken away in a "secret court hearing", without due process. Under this bill, anyone can go to court in secret to have your gun rights suspended. You will never even know this is happening, until law enforcement shows up at your door to confiscate your firearms. This means an angry neighbor, angry ex, etc., could go to court in order to have your guns confiscated, strictly on their word, with no opportunity to defend yourself. The bill also provides no consequence for fabricated allegations. So that means if someone tells the court a false story about you, he/she will face no consequences for their lie. You will lose your firearms, but the liar walks away.
Thankfully, I'll be out of here soon, but I do feel for my fellow gun owners who will be left behind.
