Bill overview
This bill aims to strengthen New Jersey’s existing assault weapons ban by revising the definition of an assault weapon. Specifically, it expands the list of prohibited firearms to include semi-automatic rifles and shotguns with certain military-style features, such as folding stocks or pistol grips. The bill also lowers the number of criteria required to classify a firearm as an assault weapon, making it easier to restrict certain types of weapons. Antique firearms and weapons used for historical reenactments are exempt from the ban.
