Default New Jersey: Handgun advocates take aim at new law

Gun collectors and advocates have said the law, signed last month, will unfairly restrict law-abiding citizens' constitutional rights. Proponents pushed the bill as a way to slow the flow of guns to criminals and gang members.

Although there is an exception for licensed gun dealers, New Jersey does not classify manufacturers or wholesale distributors as such.

New Jersey was the fourth state to approve such legislation, joining California, Maryland and Virginia.

The law, which takes effect Jan. 1, prohibits gun buyers from buying more than one handgun during a 30-day period. It exempts purchases by law enforcement officers and antique collectors.
