No FOID is required for most airguns. Required for all arms using gun powder (ie what most people understand as “firearms”). You also need a permit to purchase in addition to the FOID.

Now, the simple unlawful possession of any firearm can bring mandatory penalties for anyone who pleads guilty to or is convicted of that crime alone.
Mandatory = Law. permitting no option; not to be disregarded or modified: a mandatory clause.
So, it's NOT mandatory after all.
The Graves Act, adopted in 1981 and named after Frank X. Graves Jr., the late state senator and law-and-order mayor of Paterson known for patroling the city, outlined mandatory-minimum prison sentences for anyone guilty of using a gun in the commission of a crime in New Jersey. A burglar caught with a handgun, for instance, faced a solid three years behind bars for the gun crime alone.
With little or no fanfare, lawmakers stiffened the Graves Act in the last session. They folded the amendment into anti-gang legislation that Gov. Jon S. Corzine signed into law in January.
Leave it to Corzine and the typical lefties to take something good and GO TOO FAR with it. They do it with everything!

Here in Jersey, a BB Rifle requires the same license as a hunting rifle or shotgun. It’s insane.

With gun drawn, the officer arrested him. Who trained this idiot?

The shame is worse than the prison time.

Higher sea levels would submerge quite a number of small blue states and force the removal of their representation. The elimination of Rhode Island, Connecticut, Maryland, New Jersey, and Deleware would improve Republican prospects in the Senate and the Electoral College.Based on my personal calculations, you would also be drowning Hyannisport, Ma. Let's see how good they can swim now.

If I look at a beer ad on TV while playing road racing games with the kids and a pellet gun is in the basement, am I guilty of a crime in any state yet?

“Red-state New Jersey” — Sussex County and parts of Morris and Warren Counties — is mountainous higher elevations and would still be above water, as islands. So justice would be preserved.

Now, the simple unlawful possession of any firearm can bring mandatory penalties for anyone who pleads guilty to or is convicted of that crime alone. It would be instructive to know how the law is worded - exactly. They use gun and firearm in this article interchangeably. A firearm is a gun, but not all guns are firearms.
And last time I checked the pellet gun (rifle actually) propped up in the corner of my porch (for discouraging squirrels and coons); no fire of any kind is involved in the action.
To: neverdem
Is it just me, or is the gun irrelevant to the crime committed?

It's insanity, I know! My brother needed a licence for his air gun because of the caliber.

Okay, I’ll have to go back and check, but I think some sort of a BARREL is required as well.

How did she like moving to a totally different part of the country? I’m lucky in that I’m a train ride away from my friends. From Brooklyn, NY to Stamford, CT.
But I don’t know how I’d handle a midwestern state.
