Strengthens New Jersey's assault weapons ban by expanding the definition of assault firearms.
The bill revises the definition of an assault weapon in New Jersey to include semi-automatic rifles with detachable magazines and one military-style feature, semi-automatic shotguns with one military-style feature, and semi-automatic pistols with one military-style feature. The bill reduces the number of criteria needed to classify a firearm as an assault weapon from two to one, adding features such as a thumbhole stock and a second handgrip or a protruding grip that can be held by the non-trigger hand. The act takes effect immediately.
