Nine months after banning 'high capacity' magazines in New Jersey, not a single one has been turned in to Police

The best way to nullify these laws is to ignore them...

I'm surprised the state police haven't convinced some judge that there is probable cause to think one of the magazines in that storage facility was used in a crime and they all need to be seized to catalog and conduct forensic studies on them to eliminate them from suspicion.

Problem is the next generation will likely accept the fact that "those are against the law" and we don't need those because the government outlawed them.

I think if I lived in a state that had those restrictions, I would send my high capacity magazines to a relative living in a non restrictive state to hold until I moved out. I would not pay to have a gun store hold them in a vault.

Why? leave them in your safe where they belong. No one is going to go door to door looking for them. That's just scare tactics by the garbage politicos.

Bingo. Don't send them anywhere. No one is going to come looking.

Besides, laws are not binding. They are merely suggestions. You can choose to follow them. Or not. Whatever produces the least stress for you.
Wooo saaaa....

True, what I meant to say is before I would hand them over to a gun shop to hold for me paying for them to hold them, I would send them off to my relative out of state.

Oh no. It applies to many more. Classification laws, FISA laws, pretty much any law on the books.

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

When liberals come up with laws like these simply follow them like they do in reguards to sanctuary cities , the border etc.

I was actually going to post this.

I'm not saying to steal from everyone and claim "because FISA", but turning in your guns/magazines is a no no in my mind.

This is how oppression starts. We can either learn from history, or repeat it.

FISA abuse.... Sanctuary Cities... Anti-ICE cooperation laws... States disobeying Federal Drug laws... so many examples of lawlessness...

Oh oh, but we'll just register our guns and turn in the evil looking ones and high caps when they pass a law..... mmmmkay...

Yeah, I'll get right on that.... LMFAO....

Oppression started with the NFA act Jones.

They were banned because they were "disproportionately used in crime." Interesting that they are considered disproportionate. I work in a gun store. We have about 15 display cases of guns with "large capacity" magazines, and the 10 rounds or less guns take up maybe two cases. Even guns like the Sig P365, designed for a 10 round magazine, have larger mags available. Seems to me the crimes are likely proportionate to the number of guns available.

Just wait it out
