I was at the Freehold County Fair last night and guess what they had, the shoot out the star game.  WTF?  They can have full auto BB guns at a fair with hundreds of people around and I need a P2P to buy a BB pistol? 

Yep.

It's for the children

They have full auto BB guns on the boardwalk in Wildwood.

It's all fun and games until someone puts an eye out with one of those evil assault weapons. And no soda can is safe.

Here is what i don't get. First, if they are firearms according to NJ then full auto is a felony in NJ? Second, if they are so dangerous then how can they be allowed in such close proximity to children and people in general?

Of the 21 counties in NJ I'm not familiar with this "Freehold County".

I thought Jersey had 57 counties ?

 

How are amusement operators exempt from NJ firearm laws? wouldn't full auto BB guns be considered "machine guns" in NJ?

Same way Sweeney gets a permit to carry a handgun.

 

New Jersey is not exactly known for law and order or justice.

Do they have collapsible/folding stocks? bayonet lugs? flash suppressors or exposed threads? do amusement operators have a machine gun license from NJSP and have each one papered/registered with the State?

 

 

N.J. Stat. Ann. § 2C:58-5b. Licenses expire one year from the date of issuance, and may be renewed under the same conditions as the original applications for two years. N.J. Stat. Ann. § 2C:58-5d. The superior court shall provide such conditions and limitations to the machine gun license as it deems to be in the public interest. Id. For more information on machine gun licenses, see N.J. Stat. Ann. § 2C:58-5. See N.J. Admin. Code §§ 13:54-5.1 – 13:54-5.4, 13:54-5.6 for further information on machine guns.

 

Were NICS checks run on the owners of these amusement companies? if not, are they FFL holders w/ NJ retail firearms license?

 

Someone should push for a fully transparent investigation

Looks like the company is based in Scotch Plains, NJ

For anyone wondering, here is one in action:

Does that mean I have to burn a P2P to play that game lol 

In all seriousness, what gives? How are they allowed to do this?

In all seriousnees, you already have your answer.

It's an arcade game, barrel of gun is chained down so you couldn't shoot someone with it if you wanted to.

They had them for decades on Seaside Boardwalk but i think they're all gone now.

I won a ton of prizes over the years shooting like the guy in the video did.

Under NJ law those full-auto BB guns are considered "machine guns". We, as civilians, stand little chance in getting a sign-off to own them (legally) in NJ.

 

I played "shoot the star" in the 90's when I was young, I'm still alive with all digits. Why can't NJ residents legally own BB machine guns without a ton of paperwork and how do amusement operators get away with this?
