New Jersey Law Prohibiting Many Firearms

As you know, we avoid any discussion of politics here, and it's important that this thread not go that way.

If you live in the US state of New Jersey, you need to be aware of a law recently passed which has a disturbing impact on those owning any firearms that are military surplus arms made outside the United States.

The New Jersey law has added prohibitions in an attempt to stop "ghost guns" that are poorly worded:

There are NO exceptions and there is NO grandfathering. This was the largest gun ban ever passed in the history of the United States.
The law bans ALL firearms with a “…firearm frame or firearm receiver …which is not imprinted with a serial number registered with a federally licensed manufacturer…”

Since our Lugers were not made by "federally licensed manufacturers" they are in effect now prohibited.

I suggest that anyone living in or traveling through the US state of New Jersey monitor legal action relating to this law in the future and consider the issue of maintaining such firearms in the state until the issue is resolved.
