The M1 carbine could not be returned to him because it falls under the definition of an assault firearm, which is illegal to possess according to New Jersey law.
Select-fire M2 carbines and Amogh carbines aren't assault rifles; their effective range is only 200 yards. Select-fire rifles such as the FN FAL battle rifle aren't assault rifles; they fire full-powered rifle cartridges.
