Not a single gun magazine has been turned in to NJ state police… citizens are arming up against a government they no longer trust to protect them

After constitutional conservatives managed to roll back existing gun control legislation while stopping new bills from getting passed in recent years, the [un]Democratic Left is now working ‘round the clock to impose new restrictions on the right to keep and bear arms, despite the fact that the Second Amendment guarantees the right “shall not be infringed.”
One of those enclaves is New Jersey, where Democrats have implemented what is becoming a standard anti-gun tactic: Depriving gun owners of the right carry as much ammunition as they feel is appropriate to defend themselves.
Specifically, as reported by Ammoland, the state’s authoritarians passed legislation last year banning standard-issue magazines for rifles and handguns that hold more than 10 rounds of ammunition. After a grace period, any gun owners who still had standard-issue mags that hold more than 10 rounds were required to turn them over to state police.
But that hasn’t happened. In fact, according to data provided via a Freedom of Information Act request, as of this writing not a single magazine has been turned in, and that shouldn’t have happened, Ammoland notes, based on the number of gun-owning New Jersey residents:
There are an estimated one million gun owners with standard capacity magazines (10+ rounds) in the State of New Jersey, bringing an estimated number of magazines holding more than ten rounds to around ten million. Some estimates even have this number being higher.
When New Jersey passed a law making these magazines illegal in 2018, there was a debate on whether the gun owners of the state would hand in their magazines. When the law went into effect at the end of last year, New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy and Attorney General Gurbir Grewal celebrated it as a victory against gun rights advocates.
The gun news site reported that it has contacted several police departments around the Garden State to see how many magazines had been turned in to be destroyed. “Local departments were quick to confirm that they did not receive any magazines turned in by the citizens of New Jersey. The State Police would not comment on the record on the number of magazines turned in by residents.”
Citizens aren’t about to give away their ability to defend themselves…against their government
