More than one gun a month is trafficking?

The Brady Campaign — hindering law enforcement at every turn!: A3511 helps to protect illegal gun traffickers from detection and arrest. A little publicized, but aggressively enforced Federal Law requires licensed firearms dealers to secretly report multiple handgun sales. A3511 renders this program useless in New Jersey. And as currently written, it will restrict purchase by retail dealers to one handgun per month from non-retailers! That is, a retail dealer can buy one handgun in a month from a wholesaler, OR one from a private seller, OR one from a manufacturer — but only one of those! So, how are the dealers going to get the handguns to sell to the cops, eh?
