Re: NJ Law - The way the law read to me was as follows. After the first smart gun is on the market, even if it is later discontinued, three years to the day afterwards all gun sales through FFLs must be smart guns in the state of NJ.
Actually the way I read it it could be as short as 2 Years 5 Months 1 day.
Follow me here, the Superintendent of State Police has up to 6 months to prepare the list, and it takes affect 6 months after that. He knows it was coming so why not have it already prepared so he could in theory fax/email it out the same day to all stations with orders to have it hand delivered to all gunshops within hours. Nothing says he HAS to wait 6 months. Besides he can authoize/test that first gun sometime in the past 2 years, he can worry about updating the list later, as long as something is out the clock starts.
Also it states "the first day of the sixth month" so that could be read to mean calender months, release the list on Jan 31 and Feb 1 could be interprited as the first day of the first month, that leaves 5 months to go.
Example:
-Gun comes out Jan 30th 2005
-The Attorney General tells Superintendent of State Police his six months starts Jan 30th 2007
-Always prepared, anti-gun Superintendent of State Police has list prepared already and has it delivered on Jan 31st 2007 (We will give him a day to get it out for our example)
-June 1st 2007 is determined as "the first day of the sixth month" 2 years 5 months 2 days after then first gun is delivered.
God forgive the gun is delivered around christmas time and they decide to play with the definition of "Two years" but the wording isn't as specific so they might not be able to play the same game they do with months.
