New Jersey To Gun Owners: Hand Over Those Magazines Or We Could Throw You In Jail
The law, signed by Gov. Phil Murphy on Wednesday along with five other new gun laws, gives New Jersey gun owners who currently possess ammunition magazines exactly 180 days to either surrender their ammunition magazines, permanently modify them to only accept up to 10 rounds, or transfer them to somebody who is allowed to legally own it such as those living in most other parts of the United States.
If someone in New Jersey is caught with a magazine capable of holding more than 10 rounds after the deadline is passed, it will be considered a crime of the fourth degree which carries up to 18 months in prison and up to $10,000 in fines or both.
“Those things? Yeah, I had some but I sent’em all to my cousin in, um, Kansas. Yeah. That’s the ticket.”
And I’m sure so did every carjacker and armed robber in New Jersey. Place must be a paradise of peace by now, I’m quite certain of it.
The boneheads in New Jersey sound a lot like the boneheads in Ottawa.
