NJ Limits Number of Guns You Buy Per Month, and Now Offers Money for Buybacks

We’ve been following New Jersey’s surreal gun laws all year. It was this past spring that the state passed legislation that allowed residents in the Garden State to only purchase one handgun per month. But throughout the fall we’ve seen that many churches and police departments have also increased the buybacks.

And soon money seized from criminals might pay to increase these buybacks. According to the Courier-Post:

 ”Essex County Prosecutor Paula Dow, recently nominated by Gov.-elect Chris Christie to be state attorney general, said she reallocated $75,000 seized from criminals to reinstate the gun buyback program.”

While we’re at least happy that taxpayer dollars aren’t paying for the buybacks, this still seems like a two-pronged approach to making New Jersey firearm free, regardless of what the Constitution says about the matter.
