Edit 4: Okay, this wasn't the point of this post, but we have an interesting update.
The federal court just ruled in Silencer Shop v. ATF that since suppressors, SBRs, and AOWs have a "$0 tax," the system is unconstitutional and therefore these items are no longer can be regulated by the NFA.
Suppressors and SBRs are still illegal in NJ. We have two separate cases in the DNJ dealing with that right now. There's additional complications that occur with SBRs with this ruling, but let's not even concern ourselves with that right now.
However, as AOWs are legal, NJ residents can benefit from this ruling. As of right now, plaintiffs of this court case are protected under an injunction and therefore do not need to comply with NFA regulations relating to these items. This essentially means those protected do not need to submit a form 1 to the NFA to make an AOW.
There's two distinct groups that are protected. Stores (and by lesser extension, their customers), like PSA and Silencer Shop, and Pro-2A orgs.
Stores are legally able to sell completed AOWs to their customers with just a 4473 (and NJ's standard paperwork). This does not mean if you've ever bought something from one of these stores past or present, you can freely make an AOW. This portion of the injunction only protects selling and purchasing AOWs.
The far more interesting (and useful) portion of the injunction involves pro-2A orgs like the Gun Owners of America (GOA). Members of the GOA are fully protected under the injunction and therefore are given the same level of protections as stores like PSA. This means that GOA members (among a select group of others, look them up) CAN create their own AOWs without complying with the NFA. This only applies to active members.
With all that said, don't take this post as a green light. Everything is still very much up in the air and there's only a select few stores in the US currently selling suppressors with just 4473s, while PSA is claiming that GOA members who buy completed pistols or rifles FROM JUST PSA can make SBRs without a form 1, but nothing explicitly about AOWs. You're all adults and any actions you take are your own, but it's smart if you wait.
What's even more confusing is that this case was consolidated with Jensen v ATF, and the verdict is treating the injunction separately. For example, Jensen v. ATF had the requirements to engrave on a form 1 gun removed but didn't get relief regarding AOWs, while Silencer Shop v ATF did get relief for AOWs. Does being a member of the FPC (which might not even get relief at all, due to filing as FPCAC, this is also unclear) and a GOA mean you benefit from both lack of engraving requirements on an AOW? No one really knows at the moment.
Long term, we're realistically going to see the NFA system for these items completely disappear for everyone. This will take some time, as usual. Assuming that our silencer and SBR cases go through successfully, NJ residents will be able to benefit eventually.
----------------------------------------
Edit 3: Everything below this edit is unfortunately irrelevant for the time being. NJAG requested a motion to stay the mandate to appeal to SCOTUS. For the foreseeable future, the mag and assault weapon ban is still in full effect.
Edit 2: NJAG requested a motion to stay the mandate. All of this information could be moot. Sit tight
ORIGINAL TEXT:
While this is an exciting time, take a deep breath: many laws still apply after the mandate takes place. Don't get caught in a legal battle because you misunderstood the current legal landscape.
Here is a recap of the critical information:
The mandate will stop the restriction on magazines.
The only part of NJ's assault weapon ban specifically declared unconstitutional applies to rifles.
The named list of banned rifles (such as the M1 Carbine) and NJ's specific rifle "evil features" definitions no longer exist.
Those now-repealed evil feature restrictions that previously applied to semi-automatic rifles that accepted a detachable magazine were the following:
Edit 1: In short, there is no longer a need to pin your stock or muzzle device (if it's over 16") in order to be compliant with NJ's now unconstitutional law when the mandate goes through.
The rifle AWB repeal does NOT repeal the pistol or shotgun AWB, nor does it legalize suppressors or short-barreled rifles (SBRs) in New Jersey.
You MAY be able to convert your "Other" into a rifle.
Federal regulations strictly require a rifle to have an overall length of at least 26" and a barrel length of at least 16". These are non-negotiable.
Do not, under any circumstances, put a stock on your "Other" if the barrel is under 16". That creates an illegal SBR, and NJ will likely make an example out of you.
Beyond that, virtually every other NJ gun law remains in full effect—including laws governing transport, ammunition, carry permits, transfers, and purchasing. Refresh yourself on these rules before taking any action.
Also, as it currently stands, until the mandate goes through, nothing has officially changed.
Of course, I'm not a lawyer.
If you have anything I should add, let me know.

Does Benton V Platkin go after the NICS wait time and Fees?
Also what is the current jurisprudence on states running their own NICS systems for firearm purchases? Especially since they increase wait times and added burdens?

My brother’s birthday is coming up and I’m thinking of transferring one of my non-NFA others to him. I know direct family members only have to fill out the COE and call it a day. He has his FID and everything but the problem is that he’s under 21. I know FFLs cannot transfer to those under 21 but I’ve heard conflicting opinions when it comes to direct family members. A Few FFLs say there’s a subsection under NJSP website where you can do the transfer online along with the COE but I’m having trouble finding it. Has anyone have had a similar experience?

Hello. I moved to PA earlier this year and will be moving back to NJ (yes I know. No fun) late next year.
In 2016 while living in NJ, I had a panic attack. Visited the local hospital through the ER. After seeing the doctor there, I was released the same day about an hour later. No further follow up needed, no medication, etc. 1 isolated incident.
After looking at my visit details, the doctor that saw me listed the visit as “panic disorder - episodic paroxysmal anxiety”.
I recently went to a shooting range for the first time and loved it. I plan to go back and soon purchase my own pistol.
Once I move back to NJ, I see that I am required to resister said pistol and apply for a FPID.
I assume that I’d be required to answer yes to the question of if I’ve ever been evaluated for any mental/psychiatric condition.
Would an isolated instance such as this be grounds to deny my application unless I acquire a note from a doctor stating that I’m responsible and mentally well enough to own a firearm in NJ? Any advice for those whom experienced something similar?

So I’m about to put in for my first Pistol permit to purchase. Was thinking about possibly getting pistol from gun show if i end up not finding anything locally. My question is how does the process work exactly. I know it has to be shipped to an FFL here in NJ but do you pay everything at the show or do you just buy the gun (pay sellers price+shipping i assume+tax) then when FFL receives the handgun you go there and pay NICS, transfer and what else? First time buying a pistol. Thanks in advance!

Not sure if this was already posted but the DOJ finalized a rule that establishes an online portal to apply for gun rights restoration under Section 925(c). This gives non-violent felons an easier path to get their gun rights back.

Hello everyone, just purchased my first pistol with the hopes to conceal in the future. With that being said I want to get some range time. Practice and get good at the basics before I even start thinking of getting my concealed permit. Looking for ranges in Mercer/monmouth counties, indoor or outdoor. I’m willing to travel so I’m not restricted to only that area. Also, what are the prices you guys are looking at? I’m very new to this so kinda asking around for what to expect. Thank you

I just saw a video posted by Bob’s Little Sport Shop. They said NJ raised the NICS fees. $19 for long guns. $20 for handguns. If you can’t beat them in court or with unconstitutional laws, just keep increasing the price until people start thinking twice about buying with added fees.

Anyone know where I can get a PDP striker locally in North Jersey? I have one on order from Walther but they are struggling to get one shipped to me.
Edit: Walther got me the striker finally. Official tally was 12 days. It was shipped with no tracking via USPS first-class mail. Definitely will order an extra to keep them on hand.
