+OverSword Posted June 27, 2018 #1 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Quote The state of New Jersey, which is known for its strict gun laws, has tightened regulations with new legislation that gives citizens 180 days to surrender all firearms and magazines that hold more than 10 rounds —and if they are caught with the newly illegal contraband, they will be treated as criminals. The new rules are courtesy of Assembly Bill 2761, which was recently passed by the state. The bill’s purpose is to reduce “maximum capacity of ammunition magazines to 10 rounds,” and the text states that citizens will have 180 days to comply: During the 180-day period, the bill states that citizens can get rid of their firearms and magazines by: Transfer the semi-automatic rifle or magazine to any person or firm lawfully entitled to own or possess that firearm or magazine; Render the semi-automatic rifle or magazine inoperable or permanently modify a large capacity ammunition magazine to accept 10 rounds or less; Voluntarily surrender the semi-automatic rifle or magazine Source 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aztek Posted June 27, 2018 #2 Share Posted June 27, 2018 (edited) it's been like that in nyc for 10 years at least, for handguns , rifles are limited to 5. but no worries gangs in Camden and Newark will keep their full auto and banana clips.

+OverSword Posted June 27, 2018 Author #3 Share Posted June 27, 2018 I predict the result of this legislation will be to create at least 3/4 million new criminals that are otherwise law abiding citizens and that this legislation will do nothing to deter people that are already actual criminals. 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likely Guy Posted July 1, 2018 #14 Share Posted July 1, 2018 If you can't hit your target in less than 10 shots you shouldn't be shooting. 20 hours ago, Menhir said: It's what the gun-grabbers (who think they're so smart about guns) call magazines.

Seriously, what right does anyone - especially the government - have to tell a person what they need regarding self-defense? 2A isn't a suggestion, it's as immutable as the sunrise.

All he could get legally here in Canada though was a ball he could launch from his RPG. Governments shouldn't have that right? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"the velocities of the emitted particles" (in general use) speed. "In a given direction" is also known as a 'vector'. Velocity is a physical vector quantity; both magnitude and direction are needed to define it. Edited July 1, 2018 by Likely Guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menhir Posted July 1, 2018 #23 Share Posted July 1, 2018 (edited) Like I said: "Velocity is also a vector." is a non-sensical statement. "Velocity" and "vector" are not synonymous or interchangeable. Vector can be a component of velocity (altough when measuring velocity, i.e. projectile speed, the direction of travel is rarely if ever a concern) - but that doesn't make velocity a vector. See, this is what you get when someone tries to pontificate about something of which he has no practical knowledge/hands-on experience. It's like reading a passage that was originally written in Chinese and then run through one of those online translation apps: the words are there but it just doesn't make sense.

Blah, blah...name calling...blah, blah, blah.... Why don't you 'splain how direction of travel factors into making a particular caliber "high velocity". Write it in such a way that a former miltary long range marksman such as I can understand 'cause like, I'm sure I just didn't get enough training or shoot enough to really understand what I was doing. I mean, my DOPE book only logged 33,712 shots in 14 different calibers. Educate me, Maestro. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
