Pro-gun control N.J. lawmakers look to fix high-capacity magazine ban on cops.

Gov. Phil Murphy signed a new law last month limiting the size of firearms magazines in New Jersey to 10 rounds as part of a package of bills meant to tighten the state's already strict gun laws.

But the measure, which made possession of larger magazines a crime, with a few exceptions, had unintended consequences for police officers in the Garden State.

Now lawmakers are looking to clean up the problem, and the state Senate is slated Thursday to vote on a bill that would clarify how the high-capacity magazine ban applies to law enforcement.

State Sen. Loretta Weinberg, D-Bergen, a sponsor of the measure, said it was meant to "correct an oversight" that may have prohibited some police officers from carrying their service weapons while off duty.

If the cops are allowed to have it, so should everyone else.

Simple fix.

True, but that is not what I think they have in mind. Another fix, cops cannot have anything that citizens cannot have. Cops are citizens too. I wonder if this means police swat teams have to give up their 30 rd. mags.

You think they would have learned from New York making the same mistake.

So they can shoot lots of black people?

Sounds like a whole bunch of people wrote and passed a law without reading it or understanding it's consequences. That should be grounds for impeachment.

It's normal for politicians in general, doesn't matter what level or state they're in.
