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.

I wonder why this hasn;t been challenged as an ex-post facto law? Any lawyers out there who can explain?

Maybe someone has to be arrested first?

Sounds like the time is ripe for those one million prospective felons to grab a magazine apiece and wave it high as they congregate downtown, all one million of them.

That's how to counteract this unconstitutional lawlessness, with numbers.

Conservatives throughout the country are likely too immersed in work and family to protest.
It is a somewhat unfortunate side effect of our independence and productivity.
Decent people cannot be the “test martyr” who gets whacked with the 18-month prison sentence and $10,000 fine per magazine.

Was the law written so there is a loophole? If you disassembly the mag is it then “legal”?

Nope. Possession of each magazine (disassembled or not) is a Class III Felony.
Each magazine will cost the holder 18 months in prison, $10,000 fine, plus lifelong surrender of firearms rights. They are not messing around.
Dana Loesch and Evan Nappen have been spreading the word about the New Jersey legislation in that crazy state.

Thanks. Guns are just part of life here.

Too bad for the man who was killed. Red flag laws are just pure crap.

Slowly, the problem crystallizes.

If you compete in IDPA, you know that “Division Capacity” is 10+1 for ESP and SSP (and you know what those acronyms mean).
