So let's say the AWB is back in place. As I understand it only covers the sale of long guns mostly semi-automatic rifles. Everything else like parts, ammo, assesories .... Is fine. Correct?

Now how about NJ goes even further and prohibits the ownership of "assault weapons". What happens then? We basically have to sell or surrender our rifles?

I am asking from the position of doing everything by the book.

Pls no post about starting a revolution. Legality of passing such a law. Or politics.

This is >>>> It happened. Now what? >>> type of the tread

Assuming there is a grandfather clause in other states, you sell your firearms to someone in a free state. When Clinton passed the AWB back in the 90's, there was a brisk market in pre-ban magazines, rifles, etc. Not in New Jersey though.

Our state is completely retarded. We make criminals out of everyday law-abiding citizens with our laws.

Anything anyone can say would be pure speculation. Not very constructive IMO.

Probably grandfathered as said, but who knows, this is after all NJ. Might be like the normal capacity mags (>15 rounds) that the rest of the free USA is allowed to have, here in NJ you can not have them and can not dispose of them legally!!!

The 1994 AWB grandfathered existing weapons and parts, hence the market during that time for "pre-ban" magazines, rifle lowers, etc. In the event of a new AWB, who knows what the specific provisions would be.

NJ already prohibits assault rifles. This is why you cannot own an AK47, M1 carbine, Colt AR-15, etc etc or anything substantially identical to those listed. That is NJs definition of an assault rifle. Now, we all know that a true assault rifle is a select fire rifle that uses an intermediate cartridge, but those are NFA anyways

NJ NEVER Grandfathered anything. there was a VERY short window in 1992 where one could legally Register, or Render Inoperable, a legally owned Assault weapon. ohter wise it had to be disposed of out of state. THERE IS NO PROVISION for anyone in NJ to own or possess an "assault weapon, unless they are a full-time LEO, with a letter from their Chief LEO ststing that said AW is to be used for the purposes of their employment, and if the individual is separated from that agency, the weapon stays with Them, not with him/her.

Roger. I understand that but by "assault weapons" I didn't really mean the actual definition but the more common liberal definition of "wtvr looks scary" AR type, FAL clones, Russian type of rifles, m1a, and others.

if you mean "What if they rewrote the current ban to include our rifles"??? there are only 2 scenarios... Create a registry period that would allow us to register our guns and keep them, or ban them altogether and make possession of one after a certain date unlawful for everyone. If you mean a federal ban, like in 1994, I doubt it would happen, while not THE factor that caused them to lose control of the House and senate in 1996, it was a factor, nevermind they just dont have the votes to do it again.
