If a NJ resident went into a store in the early 80s in NJ, bought an AR-15 from a gun dealer used his FID filled out the paperwork why did NJ want him to re-register that gun he bought from a store. Isn't there already a paper trail? I can understand if you bought it at a gun show out of state, or you got it from a dead relative, the state may have a point, but not if you bought it in NJ at a store. Has anyone been charged and gone to court over this?

i believe all they keep on file is long gun or pistol no other info on the purchase. But others please correct me if im wrong.

 

except now days with pistol permits they keep pistol records but no rifle records.

They wanted you to register it so they could take it later, true story. There is no long gun registration in NJ except for the "assault weapons" and handguns.

 

The form 4473 is a federal form that you complete basically a NICS form. The other form you fill out is a COE

(longguns only). the 4473 is kept by the dealer the coe is kept by you and the dealer.

At the time the ban went into effect in 1992, there were companion bills being written to confiscate farther down the line. Everyone assumed that that was inevitable, so everyone just got rid of anything that was covered under the ban, either by selling it off, Moving, or storing with family in whatever state. In the end with less than 1000 "Registrations" they decided not to bother with even presenting the confiscation bill..we'll never know if they would have tried f more people had just complied with the law and registered.
