New Jersey’s legislature has enacted a gun control measure that would ban the most common .22 rifles that have been in use for generations. The Truth About Guns, via InstaPundit, has the story:
The gun ban that has gone to New Jersey Governor Christie for signature has been described as a “gun magazine restriction“, but it bans numerous common sport and hunting rifles. The ban has no exemption for rifles with fixed magazines, including most common .22 rimfire rifles that are used for sport and small game hunting…and almost never used in crimes. Assembly Bill 2006 bans rifles that meet this definition: (4) A semi-automatic rifle with a fixed magazine capacity exceeding … 10 rounds.
The .22 rifle is an American tradition. Millions of American families have bought .22s for their sons and daughters and passed on such rifles from generation to generation. I own a Marlin 60, of which something like 11 million have been sold:

If this bill becomes law, I would be a felon if I lived in New Jersey and kept my Marlin 60.
