You cant buy a bb gun unless you go through an FFl!?

I got this from quote from an auction.

"ALL PURCHASES MUST BE MADE THROUGH AN FFL DUE TO NJ LAWS! THIS INCLUDES BLACK POWDER REPLICAS, B.B AND PELLET GUNS.YOUR STATES LAWS DO NOT APPLY AS PER THE ATF SO DO NOT BID IF YOU ARE NOT WILLING TO ABIDE BY OUR LAWS!"

Not sure about an FFL but I do know that you need a permit to have a BB gun (and I think) a slingshot there.

Yep, you need a FOID card there. (Firearm Owner ID card)

Yes, NJ laws really are that stupid, and have been for a long, long time!

You need to go through a FFL in Illinois depending on the velocity. Some of the newer air rifles velocity equals a .22lr.

From njguns.com:
"Firearm" means any handgun, rifle, shotgun, machine gun, automatic or semi-automatic rifle, or any gun, device or instrument in the nature of a weapon from which may be fired or ejected any solid projectable ball, slug, pellet, missile or bullet, or any gas, vapor or other noxious thing, by means of a cartridge or shell or by the action of an explosive or the igniting of flammable or explosive substances.  It shall also include, without limitation, any firearm which is in the nature of an air gun, spring gun or pistol or other weapon of a similar nature in which the propelling force is a spring, elastic band, carbon dioxide, compressed or other gas or vapor, air or compressed air, or is ignited by compressed air, and ejecting a bullet or missile smaller than three-eighths of an inch in diameter, with sufficient force to injure a person.

I saw a great T-Shirt on a biker chick.  The caption:

New Jersey and You: Perfect Together

The photo:  A pair of hands in handcuffs set over an outline of the state.

I don't think you have to go through an FFL for an air rifle in New Germany.  You do have to have a FOID for long guns and a pistol purchasing permit for every handgun (airguns included).

New Jersey is like that greasy, unbathed kid you don't want your kids to associate with.
