A Cumberland County man cannot keep his grandfather's World War II rifle because it is an illegal assault firearm, according to a Sept. 15 New Jersey Superior Court Appellate Division decision. The New Jersey State Police seized Danny Burt's M1 carbine and 20 other firearms in April 2013 after a temporary restraining order was lodged against him. Burt lost his 21 firearms and firearm purchaser's identification card, per the Domestic Violence Forfeiture Statute. The M1 carbine could not be returned to him because it falls under the definition of an assault firearm, which is illegal to possess according to New Jersey law. In a motion filed by Burt, he told the court that he acquired the rifle in 2006 from his grandfather, who served in World War II. "Burt claimed the rifle had considerable sentimental value to him, and that he had no knowledge as to whether the gun was operable," the decision states. In response, the court offered its sympathy but reiterated that the rifle is illegal to own under current New Jersey law. Burt appealed the decision but, in its Sept. 15 decision, the New Jersey Superior Court Appellate Division ruled that the assault rifle could not be lawfully returned to him.

Tried telling you all as far back as 2008 at LP, the newesr, biggest liberty and freedom sucking invention, was the "order of protection". I told you all that most guns will be grabbed WITHOUT DUE PROCESS, because of court orders of protection. Now you all will live it. Do yourselves a huge favor, if you're gonna own guns, don't tell the old lady what you have, don't point out the illegal guns you own... and don't tell her the combination to your vault. As soon as she finds out you're fuckin around on her, she will call the cops and tell them you threatened to shoot her... and poof, some power hungry judge will stick your ass in jail if you don't surrender all your guns, BEFORE TRIAL. I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
NJ,nor any other state,can pass laws that violate the Bill of Rights,including the Second Amendment. Let's be clear about this issue. The 2nd Amendment is NOT about hunting,self-defense,or gun collecting. It reason to exist was to make sure the common American citizen had access to military grade firearms in order to take the country back from an out of control government whose police and military forces are equipped with military grade firearms. No,it does NOT mean citizens have a Second Amendment right to a Nuclear weapon,and artillery field piece,or any other crew-served weapon. Those were to be owned and controlled by cities or county seats,and the citizen soldiers were to come forward to man them in the militia is called out. The FF's clearly wrote that when the militia reported they were to be armed with arms typical of the individual infantry soldier because that is who and what they would be facing. In other words,NJ MIGHT be legally able to ban private possession of shotguns or semi-auto rifles,but NOT ban military rifles or full-auto weapons suitable for carry by the typical infantry soldier. Such as a M1 or M2 Carbine. Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012)
Don't mess around on her.

What do we do if we possess 50,000 primers and make claim on the Internet for all to see? We wanna know!
I'd rather punch him in the nose.
Pete. They can and they do. Not lawfully.
For once we agree Don, no Chris , let me hug obamit again, Christie.
The Founding Fathers must be spinning in their graves.
What a damn shame!!! Danny Burt should have been smart enough to see the trend in New Jersey, and got the hell out a long time ago. There are plenty of gun friendly states he could have moved to. And I bet he probably voted for some of the assholes that made it possible for his guns to be "illegal". New Jersey & Dough Boy Christie sucks. Si vis pacem, para bellum Those who beat their swords into plowshares will plow for those who don't Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God.
I am pleased that you have finally found one of my posts that you agree with.

Me too.
