A 907 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Upgrades certain crimes related to manufacturing firearms from second to first degree.

This New Jersey bill upgrades four specific firearm-related offenses from second-degree to first-degree crimes. It directly affects individuals who purchase firearm parts to build unserialized guns, manufacture firearms using 3D printers, create covert or undetectable firearms, or transport unserialized firearms without proper licensing. Under the bill, these activities will now carry penalties of 10 to 20 years in prison and up to $200,000 in fines, compared to the current 5 to 10 years and $150,000. The changes apply only to the exact activities listed in the legislation, increasing penalties for these specific violations without altering other firearm laws.
