New Jersey has no plans on how to enforce its high capacity firearm magazine confiscation law

American Thinker: The Great State of New Jersey now finds itself in a situation somewhat like the legendary dog that chased a bus and managed to clamp its jaw on the bumper. Now what? It has passed a law mandating confiscation of high capacity gun magazines, and the law just passed a constitutional challenge at the federal appeals court level.

Stephen Gutowski reports at the Free Beacon:

New Jersey law enforcement officials refused to say on Thursday how they planned to go about enforcing the state’s ban on the possession of any magazine capable of holding more than 10 rounds of ammunition, which goes into effect on Monday.

Neither the state police nor the attorney general’s office elaborated on how they plan to enforce the law. Nor did they provide any guidance for those currently in possession of the magazines.

The law, signed by Gov. Phil Murphy in June along with five other new gun laws, gave New Jersey gun owners who currently possess the magazines in question 180 days to either surrender them, permanently modify them to only accept up to 10 rounds, or transfer them to somebody who is allowed to legally own them. The deadline is set to expire on Monday.

  1. After a ridiculous anti gun measure was passed in NV during the 0bama reign, the police depts said they weren’t going to be able to enforce it and wouldn’t enforce it, and so it got ignored and scrapped.

    I don’t know how this will work in NJ though. They seem to really want to be dicks about it.

  2. I’m so con-vexed by this proposal. Now when Chris Christi is no longer an elected official can he be used as a target subject for testing?
    Wondering minds want to know,,,

  3. I’m sure the Crips, Bloods, MS13 and the Hells Angels will voluntarily turn theirs in. No problem. Now that the dems in Oregon have a super majority, we will be facing the same lunacy very soon. Nothing to stop them now. State-by-state the second amendment is falling, one chip at a time.

  4. The purpose is to make everyone a criminal.

    It’s for “selective” prosecution.

    Funny how some States can nullify certain Constitutional protections, isn’t it?

    Come to New Jersey! We violate the Bill of Rights! In fact, we SHIT on the entire Constitution!
