Until the people who write up, support, and vote for such nonsense laws start facing bona fide consequences for attempting to pass them, nothing will change.
It will continue to be the 'maybe it'll work this time' system where they have unlimited taxpayer-funded attempts to turn regular folks into felons as fast and as broadly as they desire.
I had a 70 year old Stevens 311 made for sears and BB pistol I inherited from my grandfather I had to get rid of.
So glad I got out of that shit hole 20 years ago. There are undoubtedly thousands of so called felons that don’t even know it, even before this was passed.
What about a gun made before '68 (when manufacturing licenses became a thing)? If it was made by Colt/Winchester/Remington, which are companies that hold licenses today, I suppose the pre-68 company records could qualify as 'imprinted with a serial number registered with a federally licensed manufacturer'. As in, they got a license in '68, and their records for pre '68 guns count as 'registered with'.
But what about that Garand made by Springfield Armory (the government one, not the current FFL with that name), or International Harvester? I doubt International Harvester got an FFL in 1968, so wouldn't your IH Garand be a no-no now?
As would any gun made by a company that went out of business prior to '68.
If there is a fire in the Colt records storage room, do the guns whose records go up in smoke become contraband?
My hope for a test case: someone has a musket inherited from their great-great-...-great-granddaddy who served in the Continental Army.
No exemption for pre 68 firearms. You can get all your answers on this gun lawyer podcast episode https://gun.lawyer/episode-135-largest-gun-ban-in-usa/
Well, this should solve the crime problem in New Jersey, no?
