New Jersey Politicians Enact Largest Gun Ban in U.S. History

When Governor Murphy and the New Jersey Democrats rushed a flurry of gun laws through the legislature last June of 2022, one of the laws rammed through was under the guise of banning guns with no serial numbers.

This law banned millions of rifles, shotguns, handguns, hunting guns, target shooting guns, military surplus guns, and virtually ALL muzzleloaders, black powder guns, antique guns, air guns and BB guns.

There are NO exceptions and there is NO grandfathering. This was the largest gun ban ever passed in the history of the United States.

The law bans ALL firearms with a “…firearm frame or firearm receiver …which is not imprinted with a serial number registered with a federally licensed manufacturer…”

The term “firearm frame or firearm receiver” means the part of a firearm that provides housing for the internal components.

For ANY firearm to be legal in New Jersey, it must now meet two criteria established by this law:

1) the firearm must be imprinted with a serial number; and

2) the serial number must be registered with a federally licensed manufacturer.

New Jersey is what happens when your leaders are elected by urban livestock and neurotic suburban women.

Cute. If you own one of these now banned firearms you face 5 years in prison. If you try to dispose of it you face 10 years.

Was the purpose to make a large portion of the citizenry prisoners? Better start building a shit-ton of prisons.

“Ironic that one of the things antis claim about the second amendment is that it only applies to muzzle loaders and flintlocks, the guns of the time when the Constitution was written.”

Well, it’s some comfort to know that blunderbusses will unquestionably be allowed. The barrels need not be flared.

“Bumb, an appointee of former President George W. Bush, said in her opinion that the state ‘failed’ to demonstrate historical analogues in the new law to firearm regulations of the past — a key litmus test the U.S. Supreme Court recently established in deciding whether gun laws are constitutional.”

“4. (New section) a. Every private citizen who carries a handgun in public in this State shall maintain liability insurance coverage insuring against loss resulting from liability imposed by law for bodily injury, death, and property damage sustained by any person arising out of the ownership, maintenance, operation or use of a firearm carried in public wherein such coverage shall be at least in an amount or limit of $300,000, exclusive of interest and costs, on account of injury to or death of more than one person and for damage to property, in any one incident.

b. Proof of liability insurance, as required pursuant to subsection a. of this section, shall be produced by the person carrying a handgun in public, within a reasonable amount of time following any injury, death, or property damage alleged to have been caused by the person carrying the handgun in public.

Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection, disclosure of policy information under this section shall not constitute an admission that the alleged injury, death, or property damage is subject to the policy.

Information concerning the insurance policy shall not be admissible as evidence at trial by reason of disclosure pursuant to this subsection. The disclosure shall be confidential and available only to the injured person, representative of the decedent, or owner of damaged property and the attorney representing the injured person, representative of the decedent, or owner of damaged property and personnel in the office of the attorney.

"So, get an authorized serial number imprinted on the firearm. Have that serial number registered."

Requirement for serial numbers is unconstitutional. Firearms from the "Founding" era had none.

The 2nd amendment demonstrates the infinite wisdom of the founders who wrote that amendment. They could see far into the future. The weapon of choice existing when the amendment was written was the musket. Fortunately the founders used the word arms instead of musket in the wording of the amendment. If they had used the word musket then the amendment would be obsolete today. They did not. Arms includes any firearm being used then and into the infinite future.

Are you trying to become the stupidest Freeper of the day? This bans even 200 year old smoothbore muskets and ALL common firearms manufactured before 1968, including your grandpa’s 100 year old double barrel shotgun.

No, a gunsmith is not a manufacturer of the receiver. Besides, the idiots in NJ and other places want to sue every gun manufacturer whenever a gun they made is used to commit a crime.
