NJ Banned Firearms List - Adam M. Lustberg

From Lustberg Law Offices, LLC – In this episode, we delve into the complexities of New Jersey’s strict firearm regulations, with a focus on the NJ Banned Firearms List. Known for having some of the toughest gun laws in the United States, New Jersey enforces detailed rules regarding the possession, manufacture, and sale of firearms. We explore the list of prohibited weapons under N.J.S.A. § 13:54-1.2, including assault weapons like the Colt AR-15, Uzi semi-automatic firearms, and the Avtomat Kalashnikov (AK-47). We’ll discuss how law enforcement uses the “substantially identical” clause to interpret the law, creating a complex landscape for gun owners.

The discussion includes the legal implications of possessing banned firearms, classified as a third-degree crime with penalties of 3–5 years in prison and fines of up to $15,000. We also highlight the strict prohibition of suppressors under N.J.S.A. 2C:39-3, where possession is considered a fourth-degree crime. For civilians, even inadvertent violations of these laws can result in significant legal consequences, including permanent loss of gun ownership rights. Staying compliant with these laws is essential for anyone owning or planning to own firearms in New Jersey.

We also take a closer look at the evolving landscape of firearm regulations, including the addition of ghost guns, bump stocks, and semi-automatic rifles with high-capacity magazines to the NJ Banned Firearms List. These updates reflect the state’s ongoing efforts to address emerging threats and technological advancements in weaponry. Whether it’s understanding the penalties for banned firearms or navigating the criteria for identifying "substantially identical" weapons, the intricacies of New Jersey's laws are a critical part of the conversation.
