AWB introduced

[Johnrh]

Pretty much all of the States already have laws on the books regarding firearms,ammo and capacity.I don't believe a Clnything the Feds try to do can supersede State laws or Constitution.

This is just stirring the pot to keep it in the news.In 2009 the Dems controlled everything and a similar attempt only got 40 votes.

It all just means that we should remain vigilant and get out to vote in the 2018 midterms.

Well this is not quite true. If the Fed law is in conflict with a State law the Fed law rules per Article VI of the Constitution under the Supremacy Clause. So yes, the states can pass whatever laws they want and it will stand up IF it is not in conflict with any Fed law. That's why CA and NY and NJ can do what they do. Now how NJ can enforce a ban pretty much controlling transporting a firearm through the state is beyond me. But it's going to cost you a LOT of money proving them wrong if you're caught.

I do not think this is true.

As far as I am aware, FOPA does apply to firearms being trasported through New Jersey in compliance with FOPA, i.e., at least unloaded, locked in the trunk of the car, and no stops.

Note, in the Third Circuit, which covers New Jersey, FOPA applies to transport in the trunk of an automobile but not if you are carrying in luggage through the Newark New Jersey airport.

Also, I do not think FOPA applies to ammunition (read hollowpoints) and it might not apply to "large capacity" magazines.

Be careful out there

I guess I've read of several cases that were horror stories but on further research those idiots asked for it by not following FOPA. I could not find any examples to support my statement. Thanks for making me look that up as I purposely have not brought my handgun with me because I would be traveling through NJ, NY and Mass. I will in the future and will comply with FOPA on the transport.

New Mexico and Arizona and Michigan ban Nothing. You can buy and own and use whatever you want.

If the bill pases I will rest easy knowing that the new law covers:

‘‘(A) A semiautomatic rifle that has the capacity to accept a detachable magazine and any 1 of the
following:
(i..) A pistol grip.
(ii.) A forward grip.
(iii) A folding, telescoping, or detachable stock.
(iv) A grenade launcher or rocket launcher.
(v.) A barrel shroud.
(vi) A threaded barrel.

I feel safer already because:

(i) Will eliminate drive-by pistol grippings
(ii) Will eliminate unwelcome and harassing grips in the workplace
(iii) Eliminating telescoping stocks will prohibit guns that can adjust from 35" to 36" in overall length
(iv) I cannot describe how safe this makes me feel
(v) The shoulder thing that goes up?
(vi) I don't even understand why people get their eyebrows threaded

Well, she thinks ammo comes either in full-auto or regular?

Or extra crispy.

She had CWP yet wants us not to have one. She's just another hypocrite...
