I am relatively new to firearms and live in New Jersey and I'm still trying to navigate all the laws regarding firearm ownership. Here we are allowed ar's it seems though we cannot own ar pistols. I have searched around the internet trying to figure out why this is. Anyone know why these types of firearms are banned in some places, or what makes them so evil?

My thought and the only items I would use as proof,is the infringements in place in the state of New Jersey,are the leftist politicians elected by the largest part of the voters of the state of New Jersey.
Remember Arms only have two enemies, corrosion and politicians.

The AR (armalite rifle) was designed in the 1950,s.the laws can be complicating from state to state.as far as your states laws,pay attention to barrel length,oal (overall length) of firearm,and probably,most importantly, weather or not you have a butt stock ,stabilizing brace,etc.there can be some grey area in the definition of pistol,carbine,rifle.do your homework,ask other gun guys.my ffl is readily available for any question on firearm legality.

There is no way I’d consider buying an AR pistol today. Biden is already going after braces and making them NFA items.

The Dems were on the March with gun banning in the late 80’s and 90’s. New Jersey and a number of states proposed and passed Assault Weapons Bans. This ultimately concluded with a similar Federal Assault Weapon Ban in 1994.
In addition to specific models it banned certain features too.
New Jersey always wanting to be the best at banning freedom, had a few additional prohibitions.
Whereas the Federal ban expired in 2004, the New Jersey ban is for infinity.

I keep tabs through friends and media but I got out when they made me a prospective felon overnight.

Likely story.

In NY they did away with the AR pistol and Desert Eagles because NY has a weight limit for handguns. Now Desert Eagle makes a lighter version that is NY compliant. As for AR pistols in NY you can have the AR style "others". This maybe the way for you to go in Jersey!?

What is AR style "others"?

a loophole that I suspect the NJ legislature will eventually close.

 

[hate tank]

Yeah by the time I could afford one Jersey will probably fill in that loophole. I appreciate the link and it gives me and others I know an option.

Likely story.

When the Jersey AWB went into effect they provided for a mandatory 3 year sentence for each violation of the magazine provision. Supposedly rumor was that prosecution would demand consecutive sentences. So my 10 Uzi mags would get me a 30 year stretch in NJ Penitentiary. Good news is I got out of Dodge with my magazines.

Technically I could be sitting in a cell for another 2 years if I stayed.

Wow,I thought I had it rough in IL.I know nyc is in midst of a one or more legal battles presently.has the nra had a role in the jersey battle.

I’m assuming that if that were to happen, all one needs to do is remove/destroy the brace and no issues with keeping the AR pistol.

Nobody knows. It depends what’s proposed and what gets implemented. Could be nothing happens to confiscation. Just wait and see.

This is sound advice.

The 94-04 AWB was bad, hopefully that is as bad as it gets. Well, hopefully nothing happens.

If everyone on this entire website aren't members of the GOA, and FPC join now! They are going after New Jersey right now and are mounting attacks all over the country. Putting your tail between your legs on the AR pistol ban is chicken poop. If it's legal in your area and you want one? Buy one! Then fight for your right to keep it. Someone who is smarter than me can get the sales numbers. The FPC, and the GOA will be leading the charge against the BATFE. Please note the NRA isn't doing a damned thing.
I am popping both the GOA, and FPC $20 each every other week. Even if Trump gets re-elected we are in the fight of our life to keep the second amendment.

Official disclaimer: I have 3 AR pistols right now. I just bought the PSA SB3 lower build kits. Now I will need to find some uppers. Money is the issue. I want to go 11.5-12.5" I have some 10.5's. One is 7.62x39.
