Tend to agree. Where you might see enforcement....you are already under suspicion for some crime (harboring a criminal, holding stolen property, etc) and they have a search warrant. In that case, if they find the illegal magazine, it’ll be another added charge. You might still a hundred people a year on these type charges....only because you did some crime to get your home searched.
Interesting slant, Yes!
Smith and Wesson makes a 10-round .22 revolver and Uberti makes a 12-round .22 revolver.
As I read the NJ law -- I'm not a lawyer, but I can read English -- the Uberti would be legal because it's not semi-automatic.
How about if I promise to only shoot the bad guy 10 times?
I have a serious question. How can the government take or make you destroy something without just compensation?
Retroactively making a legally acquire object illegal also seems problematic. I understand that there can be a “regulatory taking” if there is a compelling public good and suspect that might be how this would be argued. However some cases indicate that there must still be a residual economic benefit to the owner.
I carry that quote from Atlas Shrugged in my wallet.
That's pretty much how they will do it. It's a tack on crime. NY is doing that too.
Good comment! This infringement has to stop or before we know it they will limit gun ownership to colonial one-shot muskets. The fact that they haven’t already tells me they know what they are doing is BS and unconstitutional yet the courts allow it.
NJ didn’t have gun laws until the early 60’s. I recall shotguns freely carried in trucks and cars. I don’t remember handguns but I’m sure they were around.
Ruger has a GP100 in .22 cal.

Would a double action revolver be considered semi-auto since you fire each time you pull the trigger?

Boating accident, he says...
I was going to commit a violent gun act..but it required 10 bullets in one mag.
Now instead of committing a violent gun act..
I am going to volunteer at a homeless shelter.
What if there you shoot an intruder with a 10 round magazine. Do they search the whole home after something like that?
Locally in my area of western NY, they usually charge you if they find a 10+ round magazine or an unregistered semi-auto while investigating another crime. Usually when drugs or domestic violence is the reason for the call. They do not actively look for violations.
If you ever get arrested, they will put a photo of all of your weapons in the paper. One guy awhile back was arrested for drugs and in the collection of weapons they put in the paper had some muskets. I guess they were old school dealers. They also had a bb gun.
