Failure to follow the new gun law!

When New Jersey passed its ban on possession of magazines containing more than 10 rounds in June, it gave the state’s million or so law-abiding gun owners 180 days to comply.

The law provided five options:
1) modify the offending magazines so they could accept no more than 10 rounds;
2) “render the firearm [that accepts such magazines] inoperable”;
3) register firearms that cannot be “modified to accommodate 10 or less rounds”;
4) transfer the firearm or the magazine to “an individual or entity entitled to own or possess it”; or
5) surrender the firearm or the magazine to local law enforcement.

The million or so law-abiding gun owners selected option 6) ignore the law and defy its enforcement.

The 180-day period expired on December 11, and not a single magazine has been turned in to any local law-enforcement agencies. The penalty for being found in possession of one of the newly offending magazines is stiff: It’s a felony, with punishment consisting of up to 18 months in jail, and up to $10,000 in fines, or both. When gun-hating liberals in the Colorado enclave known to some as “the Peoples’ Republic of Boulder” passed a law banning possession of “assault weapons,” “high-capacity” magazines, and “bump stocks” last May, gun owners reacted similarly.
