It would be nice if one of our legislators, one with a modicum of actual common sense, would introduce a bill removing the M1 carbine from the banned list.  This historic collectible carbine has become a political prisoner and needs to be set free.

the tl;dr

 

A120 Requires access to law enforcement guidelines for processing firearms permit applications upon public records request. - Yes please...

A136 Repeals certain restrictions on future retail sales of handguns. - Yes please...

A144 Permits certain special law enforcement officers to carry firearms at all times when in State. - No thanks...

A350 Disqualifies person named on federal Terrorist Watchlist from obtaining firearms identification card or permit to purchase handgun. 
Law and Public Safety  - How do people get off the list if placed there incorrectly?
A699 Clarifies that BB guns are not firearms under New Jersey law.  - Yes please...
A800 Revises qualifications for handgun permit, establishes crimes for certain handgun use; establishes annual fee of $100. - More fees, go fuck yourself, hope the sponsor of this bill gets run over by a garbage truck.
A890 Strengthens State's assault weapons ban. - Hope the above garbage truck visits them too.
A1017 Reduces lawful maximum capacity of certain ammunition magazines in New Jersey. - Can we reduce the maximum capacity of words these assholes are allowed to use???
A1068 Increases statute of limitations for prosecution of theft of firearm. - Seems reasonable.
A1233 Revises procedures for securing a permit to carry a handgun.  - Awesome legislation.
A1298 Increases criminal penalties if leaving loaded firearm within easy access of minor results in injury or death. - Seems reasonable.
A1331 Establishes fourth degree crime of possessing firearms locator application; enhances penalty if such application is used in theft of firearm.  - Da fuq, why would anyone do this?
A1342 Prohibits possession of ammunition capable of penetrating body armor. - Do the garbage truck people get paid OT?
A1399 Criminalizes purchase or possession of firearms ammunition by persons convicted of certain crimes. - If convicted of Jay Walking you can't buy bullets anymore, get the fuck out of here...
A1514 Adds conviction of unlawfully possessing weapon to list of crimes that statutorily prohibits someone from buying or owning firearm. - Note to self our legislators are fucking morons.  By definition criminals won't give a shit about this law...
A1597 Allows courts to issue restraining orders prohibiting persons charged with firearms and gang related offenses from entering premises, locations, or areas where the offense occurred. - Good, the DMV lines are too damn long as it is.
A1738 Revises statutes concerning firearms purchaser identification cards and handgun purchase permits; makes handgun purchase permit valid for four years. - Seems like an attempt to bring the permitting process into the digital age, I have to re-scan this bill to see about grandfather clauses, no fucking way everyone should have to be vetted again for a fee...
A2074 Requires State Police to produce brochure summarizing law governing transport and possession of firearms; requires MVC to make brochure available to new State residents registering vehicles. - Does the bill sponsor Raj realize that he himself may be on a terrorist watch list...  I keed, I keed...
ACR96 Urges President and Congress of United States to enact assault weapons ban including prohibition against large capacity ammunition feeding devices. - Maine wants to bring back the guillotine, I think we should test it on these four fuck heads.

A1331 is about a new app "Gun Geo Marker" where anyone can flag a location as being gun "unsafe".  So your neighbor can mark you house as an unsafe gun location and everyone accessing the app can see it.  Kind of like that list the paper published of CCW owners in NY.  So your private possessions are now public knowledge to all.  Good bill IMHO.  We need to start a similar app for where the liberals keep their prized possessions, like money, jewelery, art, etc.  After all if we are going to give the criminals intel, may as well point them in the right directions.

I'm actually working on an Android app for marking gun free zones so people can avoid them.  I'm fighting with google maps right now to use their API...

Some good ones and some bad ones there. Some redundant or not necessary.

 

5 round limit for pistols but 7 round limit for rifles? F.U.!

 

Confused about this:

 

One bill indicates $100 yearly permit renewal fee. With yearly qualifying. Again FU.

 

They other bills ties the renewal into your driver's license every 4 years. So which is it? If the DL, CCW, P2P are combined into renewal very 4 years, I may live with that. But not for $100 a year. Again, if the $100 covers CCW and unlimited purchases, I may consider it. A fee for a Constitutional right is illegal though. I would love to see how or when the DMV records would tie into the State Police records on a DL.

 

Fumanchu182, I pretty much agree with what you said.

A890 essentially bans nearly all semi-auto rifles in NJ, similar to the NY State SAFE Act:

A890

 

VAINIERI HUTTLE, MUKHERJI

 

1 STATEMENT

2

3 This bill would strengthen the State’s current assault weapons

4 ban by revising the definition of an assault weapon to include:

5 rifles with detachable magazines and one military style feature;

6 semi-automatic shotguns with one military style feature; and semi-

7 automatic pistols with one military style feature.

8 The current definition of an assault weapon sets forth a list of

9 prohibited firearms and specifically includes any firearm that is

10 “substantially identical” to any of the enumerated firearms. Under

11 State regulations, a semi-automatic firearm is to be considered

12 substantially identical to an enumerated firearm if it meets certain

13 criteria. This bill codifies these regulations while expanding the

14 number of firearms that would be considered assault weapons by

15 adding criteria and reducing the number of criteria that must be met

16 from two to one. For example, under current regulations, a semi-

17 automatic rifle that has the ability to accept a detachable magazine

18 and has at least two listed criteria would be considered an assault

19 weapon. These criteria include: a folding telescoping stock, a

20 pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the

21 weapon; a flash suppressor or threaded barrel designed to

22 accommodate a flash suppressor; and a grenade launcher. Under

23 the bill, additional criteria are added including a thumbhole stock

24 and a second handgrip or a protruding grip that can be held by the

25 non-trigger hand. The bill also requires that only one criteria be

26 met, rather than the currently required two.

27 This bill also would reduce the maximum capacity of a legal

28 ammunition magazine in this State to seven rounds.

I'm concerned about A1738. What implications does this have with private sales? Also, what happens to current non-residents FID holders?

 

I'm not thrilled about my driver's license and FID/PPP getting merged.

 

Also, on page 10, what's this BS about a safety class?  Electronic reporting of rifle and shotgun + ammo transfers to state police? Internet ammo sales require FID?

4th Circuit just ruled against Maryland Assault Weapons ban which is not nearly as restrictive.

Sorry for the late reply on this. The law should apply universally or not at all. Police should not be given special privileges.

Police definetly should not get special privileges. As it is they are trying to look more and more paramilitary everyday with their black unmarked or barely marked cars. In SHTF scenario the police worry me more than the military. IMO Military can and most will disobey unconstitutional order, however many cops have no problem violating constitutional rights. I want to be just as well armed as they are. Plus what makes their lives more important than civilians or veterans. Weapons qualification is a joke in most departments in NJ and many only shoot when they have to qualify.

Right, duh! I didn't have my thinking cap on when I commented. This allows more people to carry, but still bolsters the second class citizenry.

 

Fun fact: I thought about being a Special once but completely walked because of this exclusion.

I hate the rkba news outlets. They didn't rule against it. They remanded for t back down for the way they came to their ruling. It's a step in the right direction, but it's far from done, and far from saying what everyone claims it is saying.

The ruling says that strict scrutiny must be used to decide if the law is unconstitutional as it pertains to the second amendment. The same level of scrutiny that applies to the first amendment. Which means the law fails

No it doesn't. It means the judicial reasoning was rejected, not the conclusion it came to. Declaring anything more than that before we see what the lower court does is wishful thinking. I concur with you what the net result SHOULD be, but this could simply be a result of a court having a problem with other courts following the guidelines of a dissenting SCOTUS ruling rather than the majority ruling. It doesn't mean they won't accept some very tortured reasoning that claims to jibe with the majority ruling.
