Report: New Jersey’s ‘large capacity magazine’ ban isn’t going well
According to a law that took effect on December 10th, 2018, all New Jersey residents were required to turn in all “large capacity magazines” on their firearms to law enforcement immediately.
Investigations conducted last week by Reason and Ammoland writer John Crump, however, were unable to find that a single New Jersey resident had complied with the law by turning in their LCMs to law enforcement. Several police departments — including the New Jersey State Police — affirmatively responded that “zero” magazines had been turned in to law enforcements, while others were simply unable or unwilling to provide answers. Overall, not a single confirmed instance of a gun owner turning in an LCM to police was found.
