NJ Banned Firearms List - Adam M. Lustberg

From Lustberg Law Offices, LLC – NJ Banned Firearms List explores the intricate landscape of New Jersey’s firearms regulations, including which guns are prohibited and how “substantially identical” classifications complicate enforcement. In this episode, we dive deep into the legal framework surrounding assault weapons in NJ, the evolving banned list, and the real risks faced by gun owners under state law.

In the second segment, we unpack NJ Firearm Laws and the specific statute N.J.S.A. § 13:54‑1.2. We examine how the law defines assault weapons, the inclusion of ghost guns, bump stocks, and semi‑automatic rifles, pistols, and shotguns. We also discuss how law enforcement evaluates whether an otherwise legal firearm becomes illicit by being “substantially identical” to one on the banned list.

Next, we confront the hard truth of criminal penalties—possession of a banned firearm can be charged as a third‑degree crime, with 3‑5 years in prison and fines of up to $15,000. We also explore how convictions might permanently revoke firearm permits, affecting future gun ownership rights. The risks are more severe when suppressors (silencers) come into play, as New Jersey generally prohibits them for civilians.

Finally, we turn to legal strategy and support. We discuss when someone should engage New Jersey gun crime lawyers, the role of defense in disputes over what is “substantially identical,” and how staying current on changes to the NJ Banned Firearms List is vital. Whether you’re a gun owner, legal professional, or just curious, this podcast navigates the tension between public safety and individual rights under NJ’s strict firearms regime.
