Gun Owners Don't Seem Eager to Comply With New Jersey's New Magazine Ban

Whys should New Jersey residents worry about obeying some silly 4th degree felony law when half their State and most of their politicians and bureaucrats have been for years committing ongoing multiple federal felonies by aiding and abetting illegal aliens?

The rule of law is dead in New Jersey. Everybody should now pick and choose which ones they want to obey. After all, nowadays their politicians get to pick and choose which ones they want to prosecute their political enemies with.

Not human nature. AMERICAN nature. No other nation has an extant tradition of armed self-defense.

[Mollypitcher1]

Gun owners know what “Shall not be infringed” means.

[karnage]

That’s a bingo.

That’s what it’s all about.

[karnage]

Yes.

Sad but true.

[Mollypitcher1]

No other nation has gun ownership guaranteed by their Constitution. These so called politicians need to learn the meaning of “Shall not be INFRINGED.”

(clean up my posting a bit)

They’re complying, like it or not. They’re no longer buying the larger mags, they’re not taking them to the range*, and if they’re smart they’re not leaving them in guns for home defense, since they’d end up with more jail than the perps, time if they ever used them that way.

In fact, the only 2 things the large mags are good for: one is a total doomsday scenario, when all of society breaks down and there are no cops to examine magazine capacity, and the other is to get arrested when the cops find them.

*P.S., one of my sources also mentioned that California now has plainclothes cops at gun ranges to nail people who violate the mag law.

"CT complied quite nicely, actually."

Only a very small number of people registered their AR-15s - it's estimated maybe 5 - 10%, (they know about how many were sold in the state - a hell of a lot more than were "accounted for").
I think we could draw the same inference about magazines. Most people just don't talk about it anymore. For good reason.

[Puppage]

I miss read. We WERE supposed to register said mags, though.

When you’re out murdering people, worrying about a 4th degree felony hanging over your head because your magazine is not legal, is the very last thing the criminals are going to be concerning themselves with.

Wait, wait a minute.. what about Santa Claus? And unicorns?

[raybbr]

Yea, we WERE. I admit the state knows about the one that came with the gun.

[Windflier]

...thousands of magazines were handed in, registered or moved out of state.

I can guarantee you that hundreds of thousands of others weren't.

Does this mean the Non-Gun Owners were eager to comply?
