New Jersey Bump Fire Stock Ban: Five Years in Prison, $15,000 Fine for Possession or Sale
New Jersey lawmakers are making a push to ban the possession and sale of so-called ‘bump stock’ devices, like the ones used in the shooting massacre in Las Vegas, during the current lame-duck session,” burlingtoncountytimes.com reports. “Legislation to outlaw the devices was advanced Thursday from the Assembly Law and Public Safety Committee by an 8-0 vote.” That’s Garden State gun grabber unanimity. Yes, grabbers. Check this out . . .

The bill was sponsored by several Democrats, including Annette Quijanao, D-20th of Elizabeth, and Assembly Majority Leader Lou Greenwald, D-6th of Voorhees. It seeks to make possession or sale of the devices a third-degree crime, punishable by up to five years in prison and a $15,000 fine.

The Democrats’ bill would require individuals in possession of the devices to surrender them to law enforcement within 90 days. Licensed manufacturers and retailers would have 30 days to turn them into authorities.

From the comments section ...
Does New Jersey even allow a firearm that can use the bump stock as it’s currently configured? Honest question

Correct me if I am wrong I do not have a bump stock nor have I used one. I live in Jersey and all stocks on all rifles must be pinned or unadjustable. If a plain buffertube is required to operate a bumpstock than no. Any adjustable or folding stock is considered an “assault weapon” which is illegal in NJ.

Politicians aren't that bright in NJ either.

New Jersey unfortunately is now competing with NY to see which can be the worse Democratic run state in the nation. Christie may have been a fat slob, but he did hold the line on a lot of crap. Those days are over; expect this bill to pass.

I'm actually amazed that "we gotta be the first in the Nation" Cuomo-the-Tyrant didn't try to force this through using his vaunted "Message of Necessity". Maybe he's been too distracted worrying about States and Protectorates that are not part of New York, and spending New Yorker's tax dollars flying all over the Country and beyond?
Maybe his shiny new (to him) helicopter has been keeping his attention off the National Stage?

Either way, he's a douche, and so are the Legislators in NJ.

And thumbs. It will get to a point where all semi auto gun owners will have to cut their thumbs off so the gun can't be bump fired.

It would be nice if they gave actual criminals stiff sentences like this instead of slapping them on the wrist and plea deals.
