Under New Jersey’s new bump-stock ban, which was approved in January, residents were supposed to destroy or turn in their bump stocks by mid-April.

So far, New Jersey State Police say, they have not received a single one.

New Jersey is not the only state having trouble enforcing its ban. In Massachusetts, where residents had until February to surrender their bump stocks, State Police received just three devices. The Bay State’s ban, which passed in November, is a felony.

“Unless the police are getting search warrants to go house by house, there will probably be people who aren’t giving up their bump stocks,” Jeremy Stein, executive director of Connecticut Against Gun Violence said. “Enforcement will come into play when the police are investigating other crimes, like domestic violence or whatever, and they come across a bump stock. They can tack on another charge.”

There are an estimated 520,000 bump stocks in the USA.[/quote]
