Over One Million US Gun Owners Refuse To Obey Ban

Residents of New Jersey were given a deadline to turn in their gun magazines or become felons overnight, and so far, no one is complying.

Unless you’ve been under a rock lately, then you’ve likely seen the unprecedented push by all levels of government to separate law abiding Americans from their guns. No, this is not some conspiracy theory. The president himself ushered in a new level of gun control doing what his liberal predecessor even refused to do by banning bump stocks. However, as states across the country seek to limit the ability of innocent people to defend themselves, people are disobeying.

In May, Gov. Phil Murphy signed a law that reduced the maximum capacity of ammunition magazines from 15 rounds to 10.Citizens immediately sued the government, citing the unconstitutional nature of the ban, but they failed.

“New Jersey’s law reasonably fits the State’s interest in public safety and does not unconstitutionally burden the Second Amendment’s right to self-defense in the home,” the court wrote in their decision. “The law also does not violate the Fifth Amendment’s Takings Clause because it does not require gun owners to surrender their magazines but instead allows them to retain modified magazines or register firearms that have magazines that cannot be modified.”

AG Gurbir Grewal applauded the ruling on Twitter stating:

“This just in: for months, individuals have been challenging NJ’s limits on large capacity magazines—a sensible law to address mass shootings. Today, the court of appeals upheld the law. Big win for public safety and law enforcement safety!”

This month, citizens were given a December 11 deadline on their new ban on standard capacity magazines. The law effectively turned one million law abiding gun owners into criminals, literally over night if they failed to turn in the magazines.

Somehow, New Jersey lawmakers thought insane individuals who want to carry out mass shootings would be lining up to turn in their 15 round magazines as anyone caught with one of these banned magazines is now committing a fourth-degree felony. However, even the law abiding citizens are choosing to disobey—and that’s a good thing.

And this is why militias are so important

How is it unconstitutional to ban large magazines when the constitution was written in a time where you shot one round from a musket every 30 seconds?

I assume that this case will makes it way to the SCOTUS pretty soon.

Unfortunately, that is how the progressives think and they will continue to push this agenda.

3:21 I have a regular capacity magazine and no interest in upgrading. I think a bump stock has no use in self defense. However i don't have a right, nor does any politician, to infringe anyones right to bear arms.

You would think after all these years people may realize one thing. Gun laws do nothing but hamper LAW ABIDING CITIZENS. You really believe a criminal or gang are going to follow a law??

NEWS ALERT TO ALL LIBERALS. CRIMMINALS DONT FOLLOW THE LAW.

Muskets are no longer used by criminals who want to trespass and do me and my family harm. So law abiding citizens deserve equal protection with whatever weapons are available and used by these thugs.

The law inhibits citizens from defending themselves against the government.

Now when they come for one, surround and mob them. The next that try it will think twice.
