We the legal gun owners of NJ really need to get the word out this November. Help all pro 2A politicians any way possible. Voting these crooks out of office will be the only way we can get these dumb bill overturned if Christie signs them into law.

I assume all .50 cal firearms will be grandfathered?

I saw that as well. The schedule has May 30th as the next day for Senate chambers. There is nothing listed on the docket at this time.

Has anyone looked at the amended version of the A3659/S2178. If I'm understanding the update correctly, The bill will grandfather current owners if you register it and pay a $50 fee. if you do not register, you will have one year if the bill is signed into law. http://www.njleg.state.nj.us/2012/Bills/S2500/2178_R2.HTM

The current bill if signed into law gives you one year once the state creates a buyback program. I will send my gun to PA before I give it up.

I really hope Christie really thinks before he decides to on what to do with this bill.

How were they on powder?

I drive a Ford Ranger so I have no trunk. I usually pack my ammo in an ammo can with a lock. I put that in the bed of the truck. The guns go behind the passenger seat. Each gun case has a lock and the range bag they go in gets locked. Yes, it's overkill but there is no way a cop can say I had access to them.

Ok, I must have been out sick when they were teaching politics in school. These were some\all the bills that the committee voted on last week. So what does the budget committee do with these bills and what happens after that?

Welcome

Welcome :-)

During the hearings in Trenton yesterday, Scott Bach pointed out to the committee the bill will ban a lot of .50 cal guns. Senator Sweeney himself said the bill in it's current form is not worded correctly and that it would be amended before it goes to the Senate for a vote. I'm really trying to be optimistic on the amended wording. I have a 500 S&W so yes this bill would affect me in its current form. The only way I would buy any .50 cal at this time, would be if I had a house outside of NJ should this bill be signed into law.

The bill in its current status,there is no grandfathering. I doubt the Republic of NJ will give you fair market value, but I could be wrong. Why would anyone want to ban a 40 lb gun? Because the misinformationed idiots that created the bill feel banning a gun that hasn't been used in a crime makes sense. What makes it worse is the over the top dramatic testimony from the antis at the hearings make every legal gun owner sound like a killer.

I really trying to be optimistic, but the current regime hasn't given me much faith to think other wise.

Don't, Please stay where you are. I'm so disappointed with the current set of officials, I'm ready to move out. SMH

While I agree people don't want to be preached to, I can't stand the fact that almost every Democrat in this state needs to get off their high horse and listen to the people that voted them into office. So sick and tired of listen to our elected officials tell me I'm doing this in your best interest. If I wanted to live in Nanny state, I would move to CA or NYC so Bloomberg can tell me what I can drink and eat. Rant is over.

And the liberals and democrats are more concerned removing gun rights from the law-biding citizens then the gang banger and other criminals.

I have an NRA and ANJRCP sticker on the back of my Ranger. One guy spoke to me for 30 minutes about the same issues I think are important. The 2nd time was a guy driving a Parsippany town truck. He gave me the thumbs up and smiled. I'm proud to show my rights in public and only wish more people would display it.

Get the lube ready because this is going to hurt.

Good luck to everyone going to the meeting.

I was a reference for a friend in Hasbrouck Heights. They required a notarized reference letter as well.

Congratulations on the gun. I purchased one a few months back. Love it and it is definitely an attention getter.

I purchased bullets for reloading and was never asked.

Welcome to the forum Dave.

This seems innocent enough to not cause me any sleepless nights. If it's just numbers by town, I'm sure they can already get that information.
