On May 12th the New Jersey Senate passed A2006, which bans detachable magazines with a larger than ten-round capacity and bans .22 rifles with fixed magazines larger than ten rounds.

That seems to be going around lately. All my more interesting firearms disappeared after a brief Alien Abduction.

I suspect they’re somewhere around Sirius by now.

That’s my story, and I’m sticking to it. . . (grin)

[Iron Munro]

The New Jersey Senate GFW's should all be required to wear these:

[datura]

That’s a huge “if”. He will sign it, TPTB have issued their orders, and he will do as he was told.

[Covenantor]

If I have hope in my right hand and Christie in my left I’m hurtin’ for certain.

Wait and see

[Mouton]

I wrote that place off when I last looked at it in my rear view mirrow in 1975

[TheRightGuy]

I can see the headline in the Newark Star Ledger. Crime in Camden, Newark, Paterson, Irvington, and East Orange has been cut in half because of the .22cal. magazine ban. We have to laud our courageous legislators for this accomplishment.

Maybe it was passed so Coulter’s boytoy Krispy could veto it.

[John S Mosby]

There is a governor who thinks he should be Pres. who can veto this.... but of course he’s a RINO so ... no.

[FlingWingFlyer]

I thought all this Nazi gun grabbing crap was about “assault rifles”.

New Jersey is so anti-gun that they seek to ban the .22 tube magazine rifle.

Man, do they EVER hate black people in New Jersey!

[Sooth2222]

He'll veto it, unless he wants to spend the next 20 years of his life after January 2018 as President of a third-tier New Jersey liberal arts college.

He'd veto the bill for reasons similar to the reasons that the NJ Senate and Legislature would pass the bill -- it will give him needed cred in flyover country -- while the 'rats think it will hurt him with blue state soccer moms.

Sen. Loretta Weinberg trusted Bernie Madoff with all of her money, but she doesn't trust Boy Scouts with a .22 Marlin rifle. She is beyond stupid.

My Golden 39A must be an assault lever action with it’s 26 round .22 short capacity...

[ZULU]

it would be a kick in the face of his entire party.

[The KG9 Kid]

Certainly the pointy ones are banned. That's no-brainer. Only our nation's great military should have the pointy bullets. America doesn't need these cop killing bullets on our streets. The Army needs to cop killers, but not Jane Q. Public.

Those insidious black ones on the left are banned too, especially the very tiny one that could more easily be concealed. Because of their ominous color, that means they're probably explosive or designed to kill black people.

The very large one in the middle is banned because nobody needs a bullet that big. I mean, just LOOK at it.

She is an evil, vicious, left-wing ideologue.

[Lazamataz]

Anyone who voluntarily lives in New Jersey gets what they deserve. I refuse to set foot in the Northeast (or California) .... EVER... for ANY REASON.

[Cboldt]

Retired law enforcement officers would be exempt.

Other than pure politics and perpetuation of the "elitist entitlement" mentality of politicians, cops and judges, thewre is no justification for this exemption. Retired LEO's might be reasonably exempted for the duty firearm, but nothing else.

[DNME]

This one is gonna hit home for a lot of casual shooters. Grandpa might not have an AR-15 but he probably has the old tube-fed .22 he’s used for many years. And he won’t like being labeled an overnight criminal!

The old .22 in the closet is the only connection many people have for the Second Amendment.

Methinks the .22 ban will cause a lot of civil disobedience.
