Are assault firearms permitted in New Jersey?

  1. Yes, with no restrictions

  2. Yes, with restrictions

  3. No

  4. Only for law enforcement and military

The correct answer is: No

The correct response is that assault firearms are not permitted in New Jersey. The state has strict regulations surrounding the possession, sale, and use of firearms classified as assault weapons. These laws are designed to enhance public safety and limit access to certain firearms deemed more dangerous due to their features, such as the ability to accept detachable magazines and have other military-style characteristics. New Jersey law takes a firm stance on this issue, reflecting a broader goal of regulating firearms to prevent violence and protect the community. Therefore, the regulation effectively prohibits possession of these specific types of firearms by civilians in the state.
