S.2097

Establishes criminal penalties for sale and possession of binary firearm triggers.

New Jersey S2097 amends the state's criminal code to establish penalties for the sale and possession of binary firearm triggers. A binary trigger is a device affixed to a semiautomatic firearm that is designed to fire one round upon the pull of the trigger and another round upon the release of the trigger. The bill makes it a third degree crime to possess a binary trigger, regardless of whether the person is in possession of a firearm. The bill also establishes a third degree crime of manufacturing, transporting, shipping, selling, or disposing of a binary trigger.
