As if New Jersery wasn't already a huge hellhole for lawful gun owners:
Now N.J. is looking to ban 'ghost guns'
Now N.J. is looking to ban 'ghost guns'
Democratic state lawmakers have a new target as they aim to tighten New Jersey's already strict firearms laws: "ghost guns."
A new bill that began advancing in the Democrat-controlled state Legislature on Monday would prohibit the purchase of firearm parts used to make these untraceable homemade guns.
The state Senate Law and Public Safety committee approved the measure along with a package of six other Democrat-sponsored gun-control bills that continue to move closer to Gov. Phil Murphy's desk.
The state Assembly already approved those six proposals last month -- which include reducing the number of bullets allowed in a magazine from 15 to 10 (S102), banning armor-piercing bullets (S2245), strictly defining that residents must show a "justifiable need" to obtain permit to carry a handgun (S2376), expanding background checks for private gun sales (S2374), and making it easier to seize weapons from people deemed to pose a threat to themselves or others (S160 and S2259).
