AI Summary
This bill revises the definition of "firearm" in New Jersey law to clarify that BB guns, which use air, compressed air, or carbon dioxide as the propelling force to eject a non-pointed pellet at a muzzle velocity of less than 500 feet per second, are not considered firearms. As a result, BB guns would not be subject to the state's strict firearms licensing and permitting statutes.
