| New Jersey Legislature Working On An Ammunition Ban |
| 2006-06-22 |
| Assembly Bill 2602, which would ban possession and purchase of any and all ammunition by anyone who does not possess a valid firearms purchaser identification card (NJFID), a certified copy of a permit to purchase a handgun, a valid permit to carry a handgun, or a valid New Jersey hunting license has passed the House and is awaiting a hearing in the Senate. Violators would be guilty of a crime of the fourth degree, which is punishable by a fine of $10,000 and a term of imprisonment of up to 18 months or both. The stated purpose of the bill is to reduce gang violence, but its greatest impact will be on lawful gun-owners and competitive shooters. Currently, the National Rifle Association is working together with many of your clubs, the New Jersey Sporting Clays Association, the Association of New Jersey Rifle and Pistol Clubs, the National Shooting Sports Foundation and various other organizations to oppose this bill. |

| #5 What's next in New Jersey's future? Midnight raids with people being arrested for possession of "firearms paraphernalia" like bore snakes, cleaning jags and patches? People being rounded up and put behind bars for possession of "illicit substances" like Hoppes #9? This is bullshit. And it won't make New Jerseyans one bit safer. Assholes... |

| #4 That's what I'd think to RC. Stupid gun nazis - all we have to do is enforce the laws as they are on the books and we'd be fine. Plus, I'd go further in the other direction - any law abiding citizen 21 and over w/a clean record or whatever should have the right to bear arms without any interference whatsoever from big brother. |

| #2 heh. I propose a ban on "break-free", wire bore brushes, and all other firearm maintenance chemicals and tools.... |

| #1 it seems to me that this could be struck down in the court of law as it clearly infringes on the right to bear arms. Going for some sort of ammunition loophole is a just another silly liberal idea of being clever - and we are all tired of that nonsense. |
