The police are the ones. If they enforce it, it is enforceable and illegal. Unless it is taken to the SC...
Yea, and at one time, not that long ago, police were enforcing laws on which bathrooms people could use, which part of the bus people could sit, homosexuals charged with sodomy crimes, and other things, etc etc...People that refused to comply with police back then, are recognized and celebrated for doing that today!
Its only natural, there are some things going on right now, that if people refused to comply with police, eventually they will be celebrated for.

The police are railing against this law in NJ. Because there's no special exemption for their own private guns off duty. That's the only part of the law I agree with, treating LEO's the same as everyone else. There's no legitimate reason for all the exemptions from gun laws in this country for them or for LEOSA allowing them to carry concealed after retirement in any state.
I lived in NJ for 27 years and can assure more of those not familiar that Gun Culture is not a thing. Not at all.
This is not to say that some people don't own guns...or don't hunt. They do. I have plenty of friends with old guns hanging on the wall (they work) and who go deer hunting for a week per year.
But in my 27 years in NJ I never ONCE saw a firearm in public nor have I heard or overhead anyone talking about guns.....in the public or private sphere. My wife as in politics there and I never heard the work even in campaigns.....
That's NJ. So I'd suggest Gun Nutters not hold it up as some example...since it's probably the wrong one.
(77% of guns used in crime came from Gun Nutter States - out of NJ).
(NJ Gun Violence, even being a crowded urban state, is vastly lower than states like FL. or TX- 50% less).
In 27 years there - raising a family - I never once feel even the slight need to "protect myself or my family" - which was born out by the fact that not a single random murder occurred in my town or nearby (10's of thousands of people) in those decades. Wow....pretty dang safe, IMHO.
Someone can walk into a situation with a sack full of six shot revolvers, and fire each until empty, and do just as much damage. States like NJ, CA, NY, CT, MA, MD, HI, RI, etc just want to further limit the law abiding's ownership of guns. It is a government control of the law abiding issue, not a stop violence issue.

NJ Governor @GovMurphy is endangering the life of every off duty NJ cop! Gang bangers, drug thugs and really bad guys don't give a damn about magazine capacity. So he takes the good guy's ammunition, and the bad guys are loaded for bear!"
Bernard Kerik, former NYPD Commissioner. Of course he only wants cops to have a special privilege but if he's right about what he says then the law should completely go away. I'm sure you've mostly kept to the nicer areas but my own experience with NJ over the years tells me there's some pretty dangerous places there. Whether guns are popular or not throughout the state is not relevant as people have a right to guns for self-defense. And there are millions of guns there and their owners are practicing civil disobedience here as are gunowners in CT, NY, WA, CO, IL, VT and elsewhere.
