From this point forward, this should be the response by all gun owners to 'all' new gun control laws. We will not comply. Let's see how far we can push the leftists for a change.

I shoot with a few Jersey guys. No one turned shit it.

Hell, I think NJ people even got some 30s, since they weren’t gonna comply anyway. The troubles for more than 10 are the same as 30.

When your liberty & ability to defend yourself is threatened, Eventually laws become meaningless

My sister-in-Kaw's husband has me holding a dozen or more for him.

Acts can be proscribed, motivations cannot.

There were Jerseyite gun owners who sent them out of State or had out of state friends trade them for lo caps. I brokered a trade deal here for a NJ buddy.

I saw several others did trades as well.

The NJ LEOs are quite anti gun. And the Courts support that thought.

Hehe

Keep your mags boys, you may need them.

Something very similar happened in NY after Emperor Cuomo passed his feel good gun laws. A wide range of “assault rifles” were supposed to be turned in or registered. Of the several million of these guns in the state, something like 20,000 were ever registered and a handful of junk rifles were turned in. It took multiple requests to get them to release the data. Nobody complied.

But they were hamstrung in their efforts by the fact that the magazines are not registered. If only they were registered they would know right where to go to confiscate them...

CT passed a law requiring magazines to be registered. Any guesses on how that went?

These people have no idea of scale. If they think a magazine registry is even practical. The idea of a national firearms registry is nuts due to the potential size alone, not to mention its legitimacy. A federal magazine registry.... either would be quietly scrapped after they got the real cost in dollars.

When you were a cop, would you have kicked in a door for a magazine? Ain't gonna happen.

I wonder if NJ has any kind of list to which they can mail warning letters in an effort to encourage compliance. They probably don't have PC for warrants, but, if the chiefs of police really cared, they could probably get the word out some more. For that matter, I wonder how many bump fire stocks have been handed over or destroyed in the last few weeks. No mention of that in the news.

NJ leads the nation in boat accidents.

I'm guessing this is a mix of non-compliance and out of state storage. Both sides can claim victory, BUT.... magazine owners who kept them in state still are burdened with the need to worry about incidental discovery of the mags at their house.

I live in NJ and I'm a member of a private club. Many of the members sent their magazines out of state to friends, relatives or companies (Gunsitters??) Also, many had their magazines modified to hold only 10 rounds per approved methods outlined in the law.

I keep hearing and reading (even in the article in the OP) that there's 1 million NJ gun owners. Where are they? There were a couple of organized protest events in Trenton before the bill was signed into law and there was no more than 200 people present each day. It was pathetic.

It's fun to think that the boys and girls in NJ are a bunch of rebels that spit in the face of this law, but you'd better think again.

Well, like many people don’t have the time to go to rallys, I sure as heck don’t.

The other reason people haven’t turned in mags is because most people aren’t even aware of it, unless they’re the type to cruise message boards and seek the info.

For those talking about enforcement of this law, NJ was well aware that there was no mechanism for enforcement. As such, part of the law indicates that an owner can render the offensive magazine permanently inoperable by crushing it and disposing of it on their own.

Basically, they'd have to catch you red-handed during unrelated contact with LE.

Enforcement will be if LE comes across any of these magazines in the course of any other interactions. If they do, the owner will have the book thrown at them. It will be a good weapon for a vengeful spouse / GF to use against their SO if they want to get rid of them.
