Chris Christie (R) gave New Jersey residents 90 days to surrender bump stocks – or else – in one of his final acts as Governor of the state. No crimes committed with bump stocks in New Jersey were cited. Rather, Christie signed the Democrat-sponsored ban in light of the October 1, 2017, Las Vegas attack.
According to NJ.com, the use of bump stocks was already banned in New Jersey, so the law Christie signed will simply broaden that ban to outlaw possession of bump stocks as well. Moreover, the new ban also covers trigger cranks, which were not even used in the Las Vegas attack. (This goes to the point that Gun Owners of America makes regarding ATF efforts to ban bump stocks nationally. Namely, that a ban on bump stocks will not stop with bump stocks. Rather, it will become an all-encompassing ban that can be expanded to included other firearm accessories when, and how, the banning authority sees fit.)
New Jersey residents have 90 days to hand over their bump stocks to authorities or else face third-degree charges which carry “a sentence of three-to-five years in prison, a fine of up to $15,000, or both.”

Makes me want to go out and buy one.
Look no further in analyzing why Chris Cristie never got close to getting the Republican nomination and why his political career is completely dead.
RINO...........................
Just wait until Gov.”Pennywise” and his band of evil thugs in Trenton get started on us!
..and then he ate a dozen doughnuts and a live pigeon.
Whenever I see Christie I think of Jim Schoenfeld “Have another donut” comeback to the referee in 1988.
Chris Christie aka Kristy Kreme will hug all over a traitorous, jihad loving fake president that is evil incarnate but is afraid of bump stocks or trigger cranks.
Now we see why he was best buds with Obama.
And he wanted to be the prez.
“Republican”
NJ Republicans would be Democrats elsewhere.
And afterwards the number of things that had previously been crimes which involve such things? Bet on an immeasurably small difference if not worse!
How about banning triggers?
Think about it. That would stop all those shootings, and eliminate any unanticipated loopholes.
As an added benefit, ‘triggers’ cause snowflakes to flip out, and should be banned for that, also.
Rubber bands are cheaper and more effective.
It’s a virtual certainty that groups bent on nefarious use of such items are first going to get in trouble in other ways; such bans aren’t needed. Nor are they practical. Allow the patriot groups to have them. The danger is near zero and the benefits could be great. Mass shootings rarely happen in well defended areas.
Chris Christie is so FAT that he ought to start a donut chain: Christi Cremes!
I disagree with the ban and any other law that infringes our rights but this nothing more than a feel good headline grab with no impact.
It was already illegal to own or possess a bump stock in NJ if you had access to a firearm it could be used with. I doubt more than a dozen people own one. They had no legal use in the state and were a big problem if you were caught with one and there was a firearm it fit anywhere nearby and they hit you with the “assault” weapon charge.
This ban changes nothing in the state. The bills that already passed and Christie vetoed are working their way through again and Murphy will sign them - microstamping, 10 round limit, 1 evil feature instead of the current 2 makes an AR illegal.
Christie was no friend of the 2nd but he was far better than what is coming.
