“NO!”
Your move ...
LOL
Lock and load.
It is possible that there are no bump stocks in NJ.
They have very draconian laws and few gun owners.
Only a stark raving lunatic would call the cops in New Jersey and turn in a bump stock. I cannot think of a faster way to get your house searched and you to wind up in prison.
They would take it as evidence you had an AR-15 and be off to the races.
I'm not sure this definition would even apply to bump stocks. The defining feature of an automatic weapon is that it fires more than one round with a single pull of the trigger. A bump stock does not simulate this - no matter what you do it still fires just one round per pull of the trigger. If you say the definition applies to anything that makes the gun fire faster then it would include a lighter trigger or even a fore grip.
Let’s call it a “preview”, and hope that government is learning a lesson.
the idea is not to make people comply- it’s to make them into felons IF a banned gun is found on their premise- and as felons, they will not be able to own any guns - ever-
Perhaps they lost them in a boating accident?
It could be that most people in new jersey can’t read so they are unaware of the new law.
There are laws, and then there is human nature.
I will be honest, I had never heard of a bump stock until after Las Vegas. Living in MA I received my “letter from the Attorney General.” I tossed it as soon as I saw it was from Maura.
I think, like a lot of things, the bump stock ban is one of those things that pols will point to as a great accomplishment. They will point out how none has been used in a crime in MA since the ban.
My guess is that none had been used BEFORE the ban.
I’ve owned firearms since I was 12 (in the early 1970s I got my first gun from my grandfather.) I am pretty sure if bump stocks were a hot commodity, I would have heard of them somewhere along the line.
But, I was gleefully ignorant of their existence until I was in my late 50’s. That tells me that bump stocks were not really a big deal to begin with.
Having spent time in Jersey and knowing more Jerseyites than I care to ..
.. I might say that there are none in the whole state.
I’ve met with some of the self-described ultra-right wingers in NJ and they are no more right of center than Joe Leiberman. They balk at the idea of breaking the law, of going sideways. I have never met a rebellious New Jerseyite.
They all fall in lock-step with whatever ridiculous law that state comes up with. Same in Massachusetts and New York. Everyone is more than likely to happily comply.
CT had a few rebels who left the state. I now feel that CT is pretty much completely liberal and GOP-Fake.
-You do not need a bump stock to increase your ability to fire rapidly. U-Tube has numerous vids illustrating this. Bump stocks themselves need a degree of practice to reach their effect. People are more likely to mis fire, jam, etc. using these devices. As far as I’m concerned “bump stocks” are crutches for the disabled walking on a frozen lake. Except for some computer gamers/warrior wanna-be’s They’re useless save as a focal point for the gun grabbers.
What would really be funny if people mailed Pop-Tarts, chewed into the shape of guns, or wood blocks carved into the shape of guns, to the appropriate state government agencies, declaring they are surrendering their weapons.
On the way out of the PRNJ to Texas, Free America, my wife and I passed the “Welcome to Delaware” sign on the Delaware Memorial Bridge. I turned to her and said, “Well, now you don’t have to worry about bailing me out of jail.”
She gave me the pie-eyes and, of course, asked me what I was talking about.
I told her all about Gov. Flim-Flam Florio’s “Assault Weapon Ban” that had gone into effect back in 1990, specifically the ban on magazines able to hold more than 15 rounds of ammo. Naturally, she asked, “How many of those things do you have?”
I told her, “Sitting about 18 inches behind my rear end is something like 200 years’ worth in Rahway State Prison.” She turned white as a sheet, and (very uncharacteristically) said nothing for about 10-15 seconds. Then she asked, “They don’t have laws like that in Texas, do they?” I said, “No, Texas is in America.”
Phuck NJ and its nanny-state, unconstitutional gun laws. With a rusty chainsaw.
Quickest way of having a police state is to make everyone a criminal.
