Over one million New Jersey Gun owners defy Governor Murphy's gun magazine ban & turn in demands of what some estimate is easily more than ten million now illegal standard capacity gun mags.
New Jersey –-(Ammoland.com)- New Jersey's standard capacity magazine ban is now in effect making New Jersey's one million gun owners criminals in the eyes of the state. But in an act of mass definace, New Jersey residents refuse to comply.
Any magazine holding more than ten rounds is now illegal in the Garden State. The standard magazine for an AR-15 holds 30 rounds. Glock 19s, which is the most popular pistol in the United States, holds 15 rounds. Anyone who is possession of larger magazine is committing a fourth-degree felony.
Anyone caught with one of the now banned magazines in their possession faces up to 18 months in prison and up to $10,000 in fines or both for each magazine found.
The bill was signed into law last June by Gov. Phil Murphy (D). Residents had until December 11th, 2018, to turn over magazines to police or sell or store them out of state.
Pro-gun groups sued New Jersey to try to prevent the law from going into effect. Their attempt on blocking the law failed in a federal appeals court. The three-judge panel ruled that a law limiting the number of rounds a magazine holds did not violate the US Constitution and did not put an undue burden on New Jersey gun owners.
“New Jersey’s law reasonably fits the State’s interest in public safety and does not unconstitutionally burden the Second Amendment’s right to self-defense in the home,” the court wrote in their decision.

Oh Boy! We get to watch what plans exist for civil disobeyers in a globalist controlled state.
Corrupt government has no problem selectively enforcing the law. They prefer it that way.
Certainly they turned in all of their ultra super dooper high capacity magazines right? As a show of good faith?
You don’t have to target practice with a high capacity magazine. A 10-round is fine. The rifle will weigh a little more with a loaded 30-round magazine, but that won’t affect your aim.
...cold, dead hands.
Its a joke, they can ban them, they can stop selling them in the state, but the black market will prevail. They can’t stop drugs, and they’re going to stop 30rd. magazines? Duhhhh. So far the Magazine holders have not marched on the state capital to protest with live fire. Its not going to stop crime, its just going to make those who fear crime,in the non gated communities become more vulnerable victims.
Something that we will all be confronted with in the future no doubt.
I remember being told by a friend I could get what people now call an assault rifle and 30 rounds magazines for what I paid for books for a semester at college back in 1965. I was just making ends meet, so I passed up getting an M-1 carbine and a bunch of magazines. In a recent America Rifleman magazine, I saw an article saying the CMP sold them for $30, I could have probably gotten everything for less than $100
Well prohibition worked really well. At least for the kennedy klan for one. ;-)

leftards require:
mind control
gun controls
environmental controls
economic controls
“health” controls
divisiveness and group warfare
In regards to the Supreme Court, I figure 99% of the problem is not nominating and seating justices that personally own guns. The result of packing the court with non-gun owners is animosity toward respecting and enforcing the second amendment.
"...The states are not about mass confiscation, they are about individual confiscation and criminalization..."
Thank you. A most salutary reminder that the tenth Amendment extends the right of nullification not just to the States, but to the People.
When they want your ammo, it's time to BLOAT!
When they want your rifle, it's time to buy 2 more!
When they want your magazines, it's time to stuff 'em and stack 'em!
Oh, and it's also time to avoid deep water! Too many of you yahoo's don't know how to keep your boat afloat.
I'm fully aware of that, I have several for my P-226 and other hi-cap handguns..
My point was that the range master had better make sure there are no hi-cap mags being used instead of ignoring the ban and letting his customers use them on his property. It's too easy to get busted by an undercover LEO posing as a customer.....
Not Michigan. Never in this state.
Your move, Gestapo. Back down like the pussies you are or go to war.
