Traditionally, you needed to prove that you could get a CCW in NJ to obtain NFA items. Since that is no longer an issue, what is preventing someone from getting a silencer or other NFA item in NJ now?

Let me guess....NEW JERSEY!

I have no idea what tradition you are referring to. Perhaps you could explain, please?

As for suppressors in NJ, they are prohibited.

2C:39-3.   Prohibited Weapons and Devices.
c.   Silencers. Any person who knowingly has in his possession any firearm silencer is guilty of a crime of the fourth degree.

The definition of silencer is:

g.   "Firearm silencer" means any instrument, attachment, weapon or appliance for causing the firing of any gun, revolver, pistol or other firearm to be silent, or intended to lessen or muffle the noise of the firing of any gun, revolver, pistol or other firearm.

Nothing has ever prohibited you from filing for NFA items(im not aware of a carry license providing any benefit there), but being 100% illegal here in state there is no where in NJ to transfer them.

Anyone ever tried to get the special deer permit?

 

5) Nothing in subsection c. of this section shall be construed to apply to any person who is specifically identified in a special deer management permit issued by the Division of Fish and Wildlife to utilize a firearm silencer as part of an alternative deer control method implemented in accordance with a special deer management permit issued pursuant to section 4 of P.L.2000, c.46 (C.23:4-42.6), while the person is in the actual performance of the permitted alternative deer control method and while going to and from the place where the permitted alternative deer control method is being utilized. This exception shall not, however, otherwise apply to any person to authorize the purchase or possession of a firearm silencer.
