NJ legislative commmittee reports out .50 cal ban

NRA press release here. Legislation in pdf here.

I can't say how much of this is already NJ law, but as I read it also (1) bans muzzleloaders above .60 caliber (meaning you can have Civil War but not Revolutionary War re-enactments and even with CW can't use .69 muskets) and (2) may ban or at least define as firearms pellet guns, scuba spear guns, and slingshots.

Hat tip to reader Jim Kindred...
