Who is required to obtain a Firearms Purchaser Identification Card in New Jersey?

  1. Every person purchasing a firearm

  2. Only those purchasing handguns

  3. Only law enforcement officials

  4. Minors with parental supervision

The correct answer is: Every person purchasing a firearm

The requirement to obtain a Firearms Purchaser Identification Card in New Jersey applies to every person purchasing a firearm, regardless of the type. This includes individuals buying rifles, shotguns, and handguns. The state mandates this card to ensure that all purchasers have undergone the necessary background checks and meet the legal qualifications to own a firearm. The other options do not align with the law. For example, suggesting that only those purchasing handguns need the card neglects the broader requirement that encompasses all firearms. Limiting the requirement to law enforcement officials contradicts state laws, as even they must adhere to regulations regarding personal firearm purchases. Lastly, stating that minors with parental supervision need the card misrepresents the legal framework, as minors cannot legally purchase firearms at all, irrespective of parental consent.
