A 4668 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Strengthens State's assault weapons ban.

New Jersey's bill A4668 would strengthen the state's assault weapons ban by revising the definition of "assault firearm" to include more weapons. The bill would classify rifles, shotguns, and pistols as assault weapons if they have just one military-style feature (like a folding stock, pistol grip, thumbhole stock, or additional handgrip), rather than requiring two features as currently required. This change would expand the number of firearms covered under the ban by adding specific features to the definition. The bill affects gun owners, manufacturers, and dealers in New Jersey who possess or sell firearms meeting the new definition.
