For those talking about enforcement of this law, NJ was well aware that there was no mechanism for enforcement.

One of the most important things that the people who pass such laws are oblivious to is that unpopular, unenforceable laws accomplish only one thing: They turn large numbers of otherwise law-abiding people into criminals. And once that happens they have taken the first, and most major step toward becoming habitual criminals, i.e., they become people who are far less hesitant to break other laws.

This was seen in this country with Prohibition, but even more so in other places around the world. Martin Malia discusses what happened in the USSR in his book The Soviet Tragedy. In referring to the underground economy that arose because the officially-approved practices made it impossible for ordinary people to survive he said, “The result of making these indispensable functions a matter for the police was not only to hobble the economy, both official and underground, but to undermine public morality and the sense of law among the population.” [Emphasis added.]

I sent about half of my mags to Georgia until they become legal again. The others I modified to 10 rounds.

He He He. I dunno know know what you're talkin; about.
