Strengthens New Jersey's assault weapons ban by revising the definition of assault firearms.
The bill amends the definition of assault firearms in New Jersey to include 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. It reduces the number of criteria needed to classify a firearm as an assault weapon from two to one, thereby expanding the scope of the ban. The bill also updates definitions for various firearm-related terms and specifies that the act takes effect immediately.
