S 1735 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes criminal penalties for sale and possession of binary firearm triggers.

This bill, S 1735, creates criminal penalties for selling or possessing binary firearm triggers in New Jersey. It amends the state's criminal code by defining "machine gun" to include firearms equipped with binary triggers or trigger cranks. The law directly affects gun sellers, manufacturers, and anyone who owns such triggers, making their sale or possession a criminal offense. The key provision adds binary triggers to the definition of machine guns under New Jersey law, subjecting them to existing machine gun regulations. The bill is currently pending in the Senate Judiciary Committee.
