Judge Bumb Responds to NJ Attorney General’s Timeline Demand
Judge Bumb was clearly displeased with a recent letter to the court filed by the New Jersey Attorney General on March 3. In that letter, the State basically told the judge to hurry up or we’ll go over your head. In response, the judge entered a text order of her own. So far, it seems to us, New Jersey is going to get spanked for this.
Moving to NJ? Register Your Handgun.
Most people were so excited about the Bruen ruling on June 23 that they didn’t notice the new resident gun registration bill being signed into law on July 5. It’s ironic that failure to register guns within the stated timeline is only a disorderly persons offense (a misdemeanor) when any other offense, no matter how benign, related to firearms in New Jersey is a felony. Could it be that people are leaving New Jersey and they want prospective new residents to feel that “its not so bad”?
NJ Demands Timeline in Carry-Killer Case
New Jersey has been throwing a non-stop temper tantrum ever since the Bruen ruling was handed down in June 2022. Most recently, the AG sent a letter to the federal judge in the Siegel v. Platkin case demanding a timeline and threatening to go over her head to the Third Circuit. The State is mostly likely going to get spanked for this.
NJ’s LEO Drug Testing Policy Creates Double Standard
Its never a surprise when New Jersey creates a double standard that favors police over the average citizen. NJ Attorney General Matthew Platkin recently released a new drug testing policy that exempts police officers from being tested for marijuana, except under limited circumstances. This same AG has vigorously defended the New Jersey Carry Killer law which prohibits concealed carriers from using marijuana or being under the influence of it.
NJ Institutes Online Handgun Ammo Registration
While everyone was busy celebrating the NYSRPA v. Bruen ruling a couple of weeks prior, the New Jersey ammo registration law was hardly noticed as it was signed by Governor Murphy. It took effect Feb 1. Just when you would think New Jersey couldn’t possibly pass any worse gun control laws than we already have, the State enacts a law that makes our ammo purchase history available to all of law enforcement.
Two Republican Council Members Killed in One Week
Two New Jersey Republican council members have been murdered in one week. It seems that the killings are coincidental and they’re certainly tragic. However, New Jersey’s extremist left supermajority never lets a tragedy involving firearms go un-exploited. How long before law-abiding gun owners in the Garden State start feeling the heat?
New Jersey Casinos Ban Firearms After Concealed Carry Approved
After the lovely Judge Bumb included casinos, among other places, in the TRO she issued against New Jersey’s Carry Killer law recently, the Casino Association of NJ unanimously banned guns on all of their properties as is their right as private property owners. Disappointing but not unexpected. Did Murphy threaten to cut financial assistance if they don’t further his anti-gun agenda?
ATF Faces Flood of Lawsuits Over Pistol Brace Rule
Numerous Second-Amendment rights organizations filed lawsuits this week against the ATF (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives) and the Biden administration over their pistol
FPC Updates Complaint in Pistol Brace Ban Suit
The Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) recently filed an expanded complaint in their US District court case challenging the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives’
Biden Calls Pistols “Assault Weapons” During State of the Union
During his State of the Union address last night, President Biden used his platform to renew a call for a ban on so-called “assault weapons”.
Judge Consolidates Three NJ 2A Cases Including Mag Ban
Three important New Jersey cases involving mag bans and so-called “assault weapons” were consolidated in front of a single federal judge yesterday. 2nd Amendment proponents are generally not in favor of this consolidation as the cases are not really similar enough to be considered the “same” issue. Will the consolidation last?
New Jersey Prevented From Going Around PLCAA
Murphy and Platkin had better get used to losing. A recently enacted law, designed to allow the State to circumvent PLCAA and bankrupt the gun industry, just had a Preliminary Injunction issued against it. Allowing these kinds of lawsuits would almost certainly make firearms more difficult to obtain and much more expensive. The icing on the cake here is that the federal judge is a Biden appointee.
