New Jersey S2677 clarifies that BB guns are not firearms under state law.

New Jersey S2677 amends the definition of "firearm" to exclude BB guns, which are air guns or spring guns that eject a bullet or missile smaller than three-eighths of an inch in diameter. By clarifying that BB guns are not firearms, the bill exempts them from New Jersey's strict firearms licensing and permitting statutes. This change ensures that BB guns are not subject to the same regulations as other firearms, affecting individuals who own or use BB guns in the state.
