A so-called "Glock Switch." A small and inexpensive part that can make a Glock pistol fire as fully automatic.

New Jersey Proposes to Make NJ a Machine Gun Sanctuary State While Putting Lawful Gun Owners at Risk of Wrongful Prosecution

Joe LoPorto February 21, 2025

News2A contributor, Joe LoPorto, was in Trenton this week to testify in opposition to a package of new and unnecessary anti-gun bills introduced this session. Ironically, one of the bills involving possession of so-called “machine gun conversion devices” comes with a surprisingly light penalty in comparison with the rest of New Jersey’s gun laws. Read on to hear his take.

NSSF Moves to Reopen Its Lawsuit Against the New Jersey Attorney General

Joe LoPorto February 7, 2025

In response to New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin’s use of the state’s “nuisance law” to challenge businesses involved in lawful commerce through frivolous lawsuits, the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) has re-opened its legal challenge against the state. The case was initially dismissed for lack of standing on the grounds that there was no immediate threat of the law being enforced.

Update: View the article to see a positive update since we first published!

Like many police departments around New Jersey, Wayne PD and the mayor simply don’t care about your 2nd Amendment rights. We reached out multiple times to give them a chance to respond to incredibly long delays for permits to exercise a civil right. Did they care enough to respond?

Koons and Siegel Update: The Dominoes Are Falling and the End of the Road at the Third Circuit Is Likely in Sight

Joe LoPorto January 6, 2025

The Koons/Siegel v. Platkin case has been at the Third Circuit since mid-2023. Now in 2025, this appeal only concerns the preliminary injunction, not the case’s merits. This injunction temporarily halts parts of New Jersey’s anti-gun laws. With recent Supreme Court decisions, legal experts anticipate a resolution might be near. Is there an end in sight?

What New Jersey’s Attack on Glock Says About the Future of Gun Control

Joe LoPorto December 17, 2024

New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin has escalated his crusade against the lawful firearms industry, raising questions about his true intentions. Is this campaign merely a political spectacle, or is it a calculated effort to destabilize and financially cripple the firearms industry through an unending barrage of lawsuits?

I carry a gun every time I go to the gym. A lot of people ask me why—this video is the answer.A man walked into a gym with an AR-15. He chased his target. Fired 24 rounds. The only reason it didn’t turn into a massacre? The rifle jammed.Gyms are soft targets. Gun-free zones don’t work. And the one person who could’ve stopped it… probably left their carry gun in the car.This isn’t paranoia. It’s preparation. Because mass shooters pick places where people feel “safe.” Gyms. Churches. Schools. Grocery stores.If you think you don’t need to carry at the gym—watch this.🛡️ Because when evil shows up unannounced, I’d rather be ready than right.👇 Drop your thoughts in the comments. 👇 Subscribe + hit the bell for more.🛡️ GEAR UP: Defend America Collection They're not banning AR-15s because they’re scary—they’re banning them because they work.

GREAT BREAKING 2A NEWS: HUGE SETBACK FOR ANTI-GUNNERS!

Riding Shotgun With Charlie #229 John Turrell Armed Lifestyle MagazineThere are some nice perks about going to SHOT Show as media and having more than one media gig. After I was asked to write for Armed Lifestyle Magazine, I got to meet the other contributors at SHOT. One of the ALM writers is John Turrell. John, as you’ll hear, is from England. This is my second international passenger! I’m glad we were able to connect with a crazy busy SHOT schedule. Not just mine, he keeps busy in Vegas, too. And not with the night life. With writing! He and his team put out daily reviews from SHOT.Like many folks, John started shooting as a young child, around 10 years old, with his father. He’s worked his way up to competitive shooting in UKPSA and IPSC. UKPSA is the United Kingdom Practical Shooting Association. He enjoys shooting pistols competitively and even went up against Jerry Miculek, who got him into shooting revolvers.He is currently the sales manager at a gun range, where he offers a shooting experience for new folks. The hopes are to turn them into licensed individuals who get into firearms and shooting. The range is unique particularly in the UK.They have an indoor range with turning targets. With the range shooting experience, people can get a safety briefing, how to shoot session, then fire 50 rounds, ending with a little fun competition with turning targets. The range is very much like an indoor range here in the US.In 1996, there was a mass shooting. The government decided that it was time to ban all pistols from the “subjects”. There are several limitations…ahem…infringements. The barrel length must be 12 inches long and the overall length has to be at least 24 inches. That sounds like a rifle to me rather than a pistol. Obviously, that makes it hard to carry on one’s body, which the government doesn’t want them to do.To get a license in the UK, you have to attend a class, join a range, then you have a probationary period of at least three months. Then you apply to your local country police force for the license, with the usual background check and references. Of course, you’re not guaranteed to get the license either. If all goes well, you get a certificate.There are two types of certificates. The section one certificate is for centerfire rifles and long barreled pistols and shotguns with a more than three round capacity. The type of action doesn’t matter, just the capacity. The section two license is for shotguns which hold two rounds in the magazine and one in the chamber. Despite the limitations, John enjoys having to do all the reloading. Seeing some Mossberg’s at SHOT, he’d really love to have a 590, but due to the barrel length, he wouldn’t be able to get home.We also talk about suppressors. As I’ve learned the original name was a silencer, but in the UK, they call them moderators. First, in order to purchase one, it has to be on your license that you can have them. To have it added to your license, it’s only about $25. At the gun store, you tell them which one you’d like, then add the serial number to the license, you pay for it, and then go home with it. Boom. Easy!The main reason these are legal is for hearing protection. There is a possibility that the moderators will become an item that they don’t keep track of on your license. However, if you buy one for your air rifle, no license information is required. He says it could be possible that it gets as easy as going to the store to buy groceries and then picking up a moderator like it's any other item. Very different than it is here.I really enjoyed getting to know John better. He’s a great guy with a lot of knowledge. While at SHOT, he and his team crank out daily reports of the guns and gear they see.So he’s there truly for work and not necessarily pleasure. It was great to learn the difference in our gun cultures between the UK and the US. Please keep an eye out in the free online resource of Armed Lifestyle Magazine for John’s writings and reviews.Favorite quotes: “The government at the time, then banned all pistols.” “The current laws state that the barrel must be at least 12 inches long and the overall length of the pistol has to be 24 inches.” “Suppressors have to be on your license.” “We call them moderators in the UK.”Armed Lifestyle Magazine website https://www.armedlifestylemagazine.com/Armed Lifestyle Magazine Facebook https://www.facebook.com/thearmedlifestylemagazine/Armed Lifestyle Magazine Instagram https://www.instagram.com/armedlifestyle/Second Amendment Foundation https://secure.anedot.com/saf/donate?sc=RidingShotgunCitizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms https://www.ccrkba.org/Please support the Riding Shotgun With Charlie sponsors and supporters.Self Defense Radio Network http://sdrn.us/Buy a Powertac Flashlight, use RSWC as the discount code and save 15% www.powertac.com/RSWCSABRE Red Pepper Spray https://lddy.no/1iq1n

Often times we spend time on this channel talking about states that are hellbent on making the lives of their citizens more dangerous. Washington Gun Law President, William Kirk, discusses a state that is actually going the other direction and allowing their citizens the opportunity to more effectively defend themselves AND their property. Today we discuss Oklahoma HB 2818, a new law in Oklahoma which now allows lawful and responsible gun owners the ability to point a firearm at a person who is not only threatening them, but their property as well. So learn more today and arm yourself with education.Read the bill here. https://www.oklegislature.gov/cf_pdf/2025-26%20ENR/hB/HB2818%20ENR.PDF _____________________________________________________________________ Have a Video Idea, then Help WGL Out. https://forms.gle/GNCyRw1HRqvAmwik6Subscribe to our Newsletter to stay up to date on all issues that affect your rights by going to https://www.washingtongunlaw.com/newsletter _________________________________________________________________________ Contact Washington Gun Law If you have any questions about this topic, or anything else related to what's left of our Second Amendment Rights, remember you can always contact us at: www.washingtongunlaw.com or call us directly at 425-765-0487.
