STATE OF NEW JERSEY VS. NICQUAN D. SCOTT
A-4633-10T1
We focused on the mens rea needed to convict defendant of
second-degree possessing, receiving, or transferring a community
gun, N.J.S.A. 2C:39-4a(2), and analyzed whether the State must
prove that defendant knew the firearm was a community gun. We
held that defendant's knowledge of the communal character of a
firearm is not an element of the statute. 11-08-12
