N.J.’s Ban On Standard Capacity Magazines Is Constitutional Says Court
BY Herschel Smith
6 years, 1 month ago
The U.S. District Court, in a ruling handed down late Friday, said New Jersey’s law doesn’t “prevent ownership of any type of gun and does not restrict the quantity of ammunition a gun owner may possess.” Rather, it “merely restricts the quantity of bullets a magazine may hold.”
The decision continues: “To illustrate, a citizen who owns a gun, 30 rounds of ammunition, and two 15-round magazines prior to the (new law’s) enactment will be permitted to retain his gun, ammunition, and three 10-round magazines.”
Be thankful, peasants. Love your bondage, ye scum. You can still have your 30 rounds. So says the black robes.
And anyone who thinks that the priesthood will be their salvation is a fool.

Shall not be infringed. Yeah, this lines right up. Infringe, def: Actively break the terms of a law or agreement, act so as to limit or undermine; encroach on.
I guess they missed “shall not” and went right on to infringe our liberty.
I just love how the statement about how wonderful our rights are preserved by this ruling has this winning line “it merely restricts the qty of bullets a mag may hold.” well, aren’t you doing just a wonderful job preserving my God given rights. How does this pass constitutional muster? Have any of them read it?

Of course it’s constitutional. Everything in the Federal Register is constitutional. The Federal Reserve, the license plate on your car, all of the thousands and thousands banned items by the Consumer product Safety Commission, gun barrel length, what fish you can catch and eat, bump stock bans, it’s all constitutional. Literally millions of items are forbidden by the constitution. It’s a wonder why people hate the constitution since it’s a control freaks dream come true. Nothing, not one single thing is free from interference, regulation, taxation, or control, nothing, and it’s all in the constitution.

So logically, NJ would be OK it it mandated something like an M-1 SLED. You can own a semi-auto, just have to load each round by hand.

Did I miss something here? How about possession of an “assault firearm” (whether defined or enumerated) being regarded by current NJ law as a 3rd-degree felony?
Or, does THIS court’s ruling nullify existing law as passed by the legislature?
Nazi Jerzey. Now you know why I left, and I won’t be back.
