June 30, 2023. The New Jersey Attorney General has issued new guidelines clarifying that the severe unintended consequences of New Jersey’s “ghost gun” law do not apply to millions of commonly-owned firearms, including bb guns, air guns, antique guns, pre-1968 firearms, and certain imported firearms.
The guidelines were issued after extensive discussion between the Association of New Jersey Rifle and Pistol Clubs and representatives of the Attorney General’s office. Attorney Dan Schmutter led the discussions with input from attorney Evan Nappen.

Guidelines Regarding Prohibited Conduct Relating to Firearms Not Imprinted with a Serial Number
This development represents an extremely significant moment for New Jersey gun owners. The Attorney General has explicitly taken steps to limit the harsh unintended consequences of anti-gun lawmakers’ absurdly-crafted and ill-conceived legislation from last year.
Even limited by these guidelines, the “ghost gun” law is still an unacceptable infringement on the right to keep and bear arms.
Nevertheless, gun owners no longer need to fear the unintended impacts of the law, and the Association of New Jersey Rifle and Pistol Clubs is pleased to have achieved this result without resorting to litigation.

How wonderful. The government is only using the light whips with embedded razor blades today instead of the big clubs with protruding 10 penny nails.
Tyrant removal kit: Includes tar, feathers and rope. Tree not provided.
how nice would that be a lawyer that believes in rights not how much money they can take
Oh, boy, really?!? A letter from the NJ Attorney General? Just like the letters from ATF on pistol braces?!? I’m sure we can trust this, too.
as with virtually all prog/leftist ideology or legislation, there are some major unintended consequences and it is usually negative towards the private citizen and freedom. they never really completely think out their ideas, they just want what they want, like children.
the a.g. begins their guidelines using correct verbiage but, in the middle of page two slips by using the made up term “ghost gun”
well, at least now nj children will not be arrested, charged and imprisoned for having and using their bb gun.
