How messed up is that? If you are caught with a slingshot in New Jersey,, it’s a class 4 felony,,, up to 18 months in prison. Slingshots are considered deadly weapons… and if you want a BB gun,, you have to go through the regular process as you would a firearm. Just found this out

Slingshots are considered per se dangerous weapons under Title 2c – The New Jersey Code Of Criminal Justice Section 2C:39-3(e), making the possession, sale or transport of any type of slingshot without an "explainable lawful purpose” a felony of the fourth degree. this is what google said. So I have to know if a 10 year old is in his grampas pasture shooting cans and frogs is that an "explainable lawful purpose" What kind of cop even questions some kid with a sling shot? What kind of people allow that? What happens if somebody makes a shepherds sling? A tool really having the capability of serious injury or death? Life in prison?

Those Automatic sling shots are Deadly and need to be Banned. Those Semi auto Hammers have to be outlawed as well. Why just last week a man was caught with a Kitchen Knife and it had an extended clip that held 25 Blades. This stuff has to be addressed by Hair Sniffer. He would be dumb enough to take it seriously!!!
God please keep they 19 fallen UBB miners out of trouble up there.

Everything is illegal in NJ. We just got concealed carry because of the Supreme Court. Until last July, nobody in NJ could carry a firearm. As soon as SCOTUS forced them to issue permits, NJ immediately passed a law that said you could now get a concealed carry permit but you can't carry on private property without express permission, you can't carry on public property, and you can't carry in your vehicle. So you could get a permit, but you still can't carry.
Fortunately most of that law was struck down by the courts almost as fast as it was passed. But we now have thousands of people who have never carried a gun before getting permits. Took 208 days to get mine approved. I've had out of state permits for years and because of reciprocity agreements I could carry in most of the country but not in my own state.
BB guns require a background check and FFL. Any ammo sales are reported to the state police and we are charged $5 for the report. Black powder guns require a background check. Buying a handgun requires the background check to be done twice - once by the police to get a permit to purchase one (which sometimes takes 6 months) and another background check at the gun shop. And slingshots are illegal "without a lawful purpose". You can't buy one here.
So we buy everything in PA or DE.

Hard for me to even imagine. The men in my family were teaching me to shoot as far back as I remember. One of my first memories is a coon my dad trapped out by the chicken house. He told me to shoot it after explaining where to put the bullet so it would not suffer.

I was a kid in NJ and the older guys would say teach a kid first to sail a boat, then shoot a gun and then build a boat. I heard that several times in the '50s.......jk

organized crime doesn't want to catch a rock to the head while fleecing citizens
think about all NJ gun laws and self defense laws and then ask yourself , doesn't this serve organized crime better than the people ?
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

It’s the start of outlawing all sorts of weapons and disarming America.

Isn't possession of a foot hold trap some sort of crime there?
