EXCLUSIVE: New Jersey Activists Win Major Concession from State on ‘Electronic Arms’

"[T]o the extent this statute outright prohibits, under criminal penalty, individuals from possessing electronic arms, is declared unconstitutional in that it violates the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution and shall not be enforced." [More]
This can be used to challenge a similar ban in New York.

Being a NJ resident I guess I'll have to applaud this small step on a seemingly endless journey ! Not for nothing do us residents refer to the "Peoples Democratic Republic of New Jersey " when discussing firearms. Its is, after all, a state where any device capable of propelling a projectile through a linear constriction, aka a barrel - is defined as a "firearm" regardless if powder, caps or any explosive means are absent ! IOW, in NJ even a Red Rider BB Gun is a "firearm !

NJ residents must be just bloodthirsty savages, like UC Berkeley students facing "an opposing viewpoint"
