As of midnight tonight, if you live in NJ and in possession of any gun magazines that hold more than ten rounds, you are guilty of a Class Four felony. No grandfathering. You are a criminal. How many felons will reside in NJ at sunup tomorrow?
People, this is what tyranny looks like. Expect more of this type insanity as the socialists take over the House next month.

We have been talking about this often in our house lately. I figured it was just a matter of time. Once you have one state pass it others are sure to follow. Glad I don’t live in NJ

Just curious, is there ever info given on the compliance rate among states/cities that have already enacted similar bans? I have not seen anything published.
-
I see compliance rates listed in articles from time to time and they are not good for the states that passed such unconstitutional “laws” banning “assault weapons” and mags. Compliance is usually listed as 5% to 15% in those states. In the past owners of these items have been given a grace period to either turn them in or remove them from the state.
With laws such as these, enforcement is really a matter of someone turning in someone else out of spite or even a misplaced sense of civic duty. An ex-friend, neighbor, even a family member. The authorities will simply wait it out and take down one individual at a time. It removes these items slowly over time and at the same time sows distrust among the citizenry because they do not know who they can trust. Sucks!

You can ban it but how are you going to enforce it plus how many enforcers and family/friends now felons?
-
When put on the spot, NJ lawmakers refused to say how this will be enforced. I suspect things will get ugly.
It’s an interesting time to be alive, that’s for sure.

What is exact wording of the law, in canada you cant have more than 10 rounds in a magazine but you can have a 30 round magazine with an aluminum pop rivet so you can’t put more than 10 in.
-
If the mag is unable to physically hold more than ten rounds and is fixed permanently that way an owner should meet the perimeters of the law. Just guessing as I have not read the new law personally.

Interesting. Yes once one starts in with the legislation other states will follow, but enforcement is always the key ingredient. They always whittle away at the edges with the law until they can point to no purpose of having a gun since everything needed for it is already outlawed and gone.

Going back to 1994, it’s interesting to see how people reacted to the bans then versus now.
Right before everyone caught on and the panic buying happened in 94, I picked up a case of G21 magazines from a friends shop. After the ban was in effect, I sold the entire case at gun shows for a small fortune. Bought a repulsive number of 10 round mags which I sold a couple of years ago to people in CA, NY and Illinois.
When Colorado was talking about banning magazines above 10 rounds, we left. It became an unenforced law and 15 rounds respectively. The sheer number of standard capacity mags in CO is ridiculous, I know of people who have hundreds to thousands of them. Give them up, destroy (modify) or turn them in? Laughable.
There certainly are ways of living within the laws such as this and we all better be thinking ahead just in case.
Revolvers, double barrel shotguns, lever action rifles, etc. I’m not talking about giving up and playing dead, but a public persona of sorts.
edit to follow.

Noncompliance seems to be the name of the game in these states. An item is legal one day to own but the following day having possession of it makes you a felon. Nothing is right about that. Its tyranny, pure and simple. Question is, how long will citizens tolerate such tyranny?
