Anyone one know what is going on with the possible ban on 50 cals in NJ?  Can you still get one?

The Fifty Caliber Institute is the lobbying/legislative arm of the Fifty Caliber Shooters Association.  Here is their website.  You can probably figure out the answer from there.  If you can't email the director, John B. using the link on the site.

The bill stalled last year and went nowhere, as I recall a newsletter from Burtt. I would check the FCI site often if you are in NJ, we could see that bill come back this summer or they may hold off until the elections are over. In either case you can still get a 50 in NJ now (I just shipped a few there) but who knows when that will change.

There's 22 new bills that were proposed at the start of this year wanting to somehow further restrict guns, one being making .50cal's a destructive device and since all destructive devices are illegal here (except automatic weapons with a court order) they would be banned.
