Well if you're up for some more over-the-top articles, check this one out.

I don't frequent this site. I found it through Zero Hedge, which was disappointing.

I have no doubt the NJ Legislature will do as much as they're allowed to get away with. But police sweeps haven't happened for any previous tightening of restrictions and they're not imminent. Not for 'assault rifles', not 15-round mags, and not 10-round mags.

Other states have banned 'assault rifles', ammo purchases over the Internet etc. and they're not sweeping there either. Non-compliance is obvious too.

I do wonder how many are 'keeping their powder dry' for whatever turns out to be the last straw.

He opened his safe to police officers, who found an “assault weapon.” Whether or not he knew it was there, if he was a competitive shooter, he likely knew the law. But hey, this is a case from over 20 years ago... so it is easily referenced and can be looked over without issue (that last part was sarcasm, since you don’t seem to get a lot of the stuff being discussed).

I understand it a darn sight better than do you. I recommend you read the case. He won the rifle in a competition. It was a Marlin with a 17 round magazine. It sounds like it may even have been as trivial as a .22 tubular, but that's not specified in the appeal transcript and I have been unable to find the original trial online.

He never used the gun. It had the original tags on it when found. He did not know it could hold 17 rounds, which would be consistent with a tubular magazine; who would know how many fit down there without reading the manual? He had registered some of his rifles in 1990 when the assault rifle ban and 15 round limit came into effect, so it seems extremely likely that he indeed had no knowledge the Marlin was non-compliant (and the appeal judges did not question that claim). And let's be clear: had he also registered the Marlin then he would have been compliant.

The appeal judges quoting a previous case in denying the appeal:

"[T]he dangers are so high and the regulations so prevalent that, on balance, the legislative branch may as a matter of sound public policy and without impairing any constitutional guarantees, declare the act itself unlawful without any further requirement of mens rea or its equivalent."

We're talking about the "danger" associated with failing to register a .22 tubular with 2 extra rounds being "so high" as to justify jettisoning mens rea: the common-law requirement in criminal cases that the defendant had actual intent to commit a crime.

Thus Pelleteri was duly fucked by the appeals court. It made no difference that he had no idea the gun was non-compliant. It made no difference that he had very good reasons for not knowing the gun was non-compliant. It made no difference that he not only had no intent to keep non-compliant weapons, he had actively brought into compliance his non-compliant weapons by registering them. It made no difference that the incremental risk posed by two .22 rounds is negligible.  This judgement was absurd on its face. No explanation other than gross ignorance and rabid anti-gun zealotry on the part of the appeal judges can explain such a decision.  And these are the people to which you blithely trust your 4th amendment rights. Good luck.

I have no idea. And a brief Google search didn't turn it up. (Or are they filtering it out? LOL)

But I do like it.

I’m going to argue with the wall, because I’ll have a better chance having a proactive conversation with it. Actually, on second thought... I’m going to get my stuff together for the Oaks gun show tomorrow. Maybe if I buy a handgun in PA, you or Nappen will tell me how I’m breaking so many laws.

Thanks for the good luck wish. Going to be a long and treacherous 3.5 months living here... but I think I’ll manage. Sure as hell won’t be worrying about a search warrant... like 99.9% of us.

But, best of luck with law school. [emoji106]

Yeah, I complied. I can't afford to be a felon. But I am not running around accusing people of fear-mongering when they point out the consequences of active enforcement of the new law. Is it Stockholm syndrome that makes you do this or something else? I am genuinely trying to understand.


There is the problem with NJ. I read I can't afford to stand up for my Constitutional Rights.

How much blood are New Jersey State Police willing to shed to establish their dictatorial regime of absolute power?

All this raises an important question: How much blood are New Jersey State Police officers willing to shed in order to establish absolute power over the (disarmed) citizens? And who, exactly, is suicidal enough to run these door-to-door confiscation raids, demanding citizens turn over the very hardware they need to defend themselves against New Jersey government tyrants?

It now appears that New Jersey State Police are gearing up to wage mass shootings of gun owners who resist the magazine ban. This will all be carried out, of course, in the name of “public safety.” Thus, the government will engage in mass shootings while claiming to be stopping mass shootings. Such is the new tyranny of the deranged, lawless Left which believes no citizen should have the right to defend themselves against the wave of violent illegal alien criminals those very same Leftists want to see flood across the open border and invade U.S. cities.

Reading the comments you full on idiots... one was claiming that Hitler did not kill Jews and it was the Jews who declared war on Germany.  ooooookay.

I never said the police are GOING to come for me.

You keep claiming this but you're simply wrong. My handgun permit says plain as day:

Serial number: XXXXXXX. || Caliber: 9mm || New || Make: Glock || Model: 19 Gen 5

And then in the bottom right corner:

"Within 5 days after date of transaction the seller is required to provide a copy of the permit to the following:

WHITE COPY: Forwarded to the Superintendent of State Police

YELLOW COPY: Forwarded to the Issuing Authority"

The issuing authority was my local pd. So the state and local police do indeed have a record of "exactly what I own" (your words). Now, as I pointed out, they can't be 100% sure that I have a 15 round mag, but I bet they can ask Glock whether that serial number shipped with 15 round mags or simply assume that it was purchased with a 15 round mag since that was by far the norm at the time.

No, I gave a very plausible scenario under which the ban would be pro-actively enforced. Think about what you are so desperately arguing: the legislature, the administration and the courts in this state have been actively suppressing our second amendment rights for the better part of half a century. They finally get to pass their signature legislation further infringing our rights yet you believe there are no circumstances under which the new laws will ever be enforced pro-actively. That's asinine.

 

Okay, how many Glock 19s have been sold in NJ in the past 10-20 years? 1000? 5000? 20000?  If NJSP were to request how many shipped with 15 Rd magazines Glock could tell NJ to pound salt.  The only people Glock has to answer to is ATF.  Now NJSP can request that info from ATF. IF ATF got that information and passed this to NJSP the real question is how many of these gun's WERE DELIVERED with 15 Rd magazines. I guarantee no FFL in NJ could accurately answer that question.

Even if NJ FFLs could answer that question there would have to be reason to believe the recipient of these guns didn't comply as you did.

Even of all this info were available NONE OF IT IS PROBABLE CAUSE.  That's what you need for a search warrant.  Not mere or reasonable suspicion.

How many people do you think NJSP or ATF have to devote to this effort?

Possible? Yes.  Probable.  Never.

You missed the rest of that article:

Every government will take more and more power until it is forced to stop. There is no such thing as a government that has “enough” power. Its bureaucrats are forever hungry for more power, and they will continue to strip power from the citizens for as long as they can get away with it.

New Jersey is marching down the path of Stalinist authoritarianism. Have no illusions that New Jersey State Police will carry 30-round magazines, not 10-round magazines. The entire point of this magazine confiscation program is to incrementally disarm the citizenry and make sure that when the NJ government launches its all-out war on pro-2A citizens, those citizens are at a severe disadvantage in terms of magazine capacity. It’s so much easier to win a war, after all, if you force your enemy to carry 10-round magazines. And from the point of view of New Jersey lawmakers, the people are their enemy. YOU are already an “enemy combatant” in the eyes of NJ Democrats.

Giving up your 30-round magazines, in other words, is tantamount to surrendering to tyranny. No lawful government would ever attempt to take away your rifle mags. The very fact that New Jersey is going down this path proves that NJ bureaucrats plan to do much more in the near future. Ultimately, they don’t want the citizens to have any means to defend themselves whatsoever.

 

First they came for the magazines, and we turned those in to comply with the law.

Then they came for the guns, and we turned those in, too, to comply with the law.

Then they came for me, and there was no one left to speak for me (and no means to defend myself against lawless tyranny).

An article that was mostly ridiculous, as you noted. You did see me say I was disappointed in Zero Hedge for referencing it? I would not have found it on my own. I posted it since this thread and others have discussed 'fear mongering'. I thought that was a good example.

Although as Sniper pointed out, there are some kernels of truth in it.

I for one would never degrade solid 2A arguments by making up ridiculous crap like that.

Sometimes you need to sift through the hyperbole and muck in those type of articles to get to the truth. Many are written to be over the top, trying to wake a few more people up from their slumber.

Sadly, too many are still asleep.........

The  effect of this will be the same as when the 15 round rule went in. Nothing. 10 round mags will go to the range. Other mags will go where the 20 and 30 round mags went before, wherever that is. Even Jersey cops, not known to be mental giants, will realize that if you don't stir a crock of shit it won't stink or get you shot to death by screwing with those who were never the problem and never will be.

i don't think there'll be door to door.....but something i think everyone's forgetting.......previously things weren't registered......as in the assault weapons crap. this time, while they may not know all....they do know who bought which pistols, and they do know what mags those pistols generally shipped with. that is a big, and disturbing difference this time.......they(should they desire to try to enforce) know where some of the stuff is this time 'round. part of why my shit got sent away before this happened.

No doubts about it. 

The information is there, or ways to get it do exist, as someone else mentioned, they can contact ATF who would need to contact distributors and manufactures.

The big caveats are, as our Leo members mentioned, that is not enough for a warrant, and most of all, all of this information is largely in paper form and there is a significant lack of resources. 

Now, if you are a nail that sticks out in your town... sure I can see someone looking into your file.... but on the whole... for the million gun owners in NJ... completely impractical.

in order to make it happen would require billions of dollars in salaries to go through all that data.

beyond that... how would you enforce it?  It is not enough for warrants....

does the town send out people to go door to door?

there is a large practical distinction between could and would.

Yes... they can.... but practically speaking how would they?

If you want to bust people for standard capacity mags, just go hang out at Range 14.  Why bother creating more work?

For our FFLs here... any information from the state?  Or anyone busted yet?

seams logistically impossible..

    • I very seriously doubt this has anything to do with terrorism.    1) Harbor pilots are VERY seriously vetted, and highly trained. Not to mention extremely well paid. My experience knowing a few of them, and knowing how they are recruited and screened tells me that there is a slim to highly unlikely chance that a harbor pilot would have participated in anything like that.    2) Maintenance of foreign flag ships is well known to be dubious. Especially these days. These were NOT US flag, Jones act sailors. It was (to my understanding) a largely Indian crew on that ship, with a Ukrainian Captain. Indian crews are not exactly known for being stellar.    3) The bunkers (fuel) these ships use is ‘Bunker C’, which is a heavy, dirty fuel oil that can, and usually is, pretty contaminated. This stuff ain’t your car grade gasoline or diesel fuel. It’s nasty.   It requires nearly constant filter changes and maintenance to the engine/generators. The ship took on fuel prior to departing port, which would stir up all kinds of shit in the fuel tanks, which would contribute to particulates in the fuel lines/filters.    4) I’d say the posting of the chief engineer for Maserek above was pretty spot on as far as chain of events.    This was a shitty accident, with horrible timing and outcome. Not a terror attack. 
    • I saw Lara's interview on Bannon's War Room, and that gave me pause for thought. Her conjecture depends primarily on the veracity of her sources. Regardless, if it's not applicable in any way to this ship disaster, the methods described seem valid to me. And worthy of consideration for the future. As I said before, IMO something is coming.
