With the recent “red flagging” and arrest of Kyle Arena and his father, we are seeing a wide variety of opinions – both in support of and against red flag laws. Regardless of where you fall within the spectrum of opinion, the fact is that these laws do exist and they will be used against you. If its not already obvious, lets take a look at the lessons.
In New Jersey, with its complex labyrinth of ever-tightening gun laws, there is no shortage of confusion as to what we can purchase and possess and if it is legal to order ammo online. In this article, which we will update as laws change, we try to bring some clarity to the topic.
Many people believe “red flag” laws are the solution we need, dismissing the fact that these laws strip citizens of constitutional rights without due process, all in the name of the “greater good.” But some of us know better. Kyle Arena’s story is just one example of how red flag laws are abused to bypass the 4th Amendment.
October 30, 2024 is New Jersey Freedom of Information Act Day. This is your moment to take a stand. Governor Murphy has signed an Orwellian law designed to keep you in the dark, stripping away your right to access vital government information. This is your chance to push back. Read on to discover the full extent of the law and learn how you can participate anonymously. Let’s send a clear message to our government: we demand transparency, and we won’t settle for anything less.
No matter how weak the attempt, the NJ Attorney General, Matthew Platkin, seems relentless in his letter writing to the US Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. When his office is not busy defending our unconstitutional “sensitive places” laws by citing historical laws deeply rooted in racism, they never miss an opportunity to cite poorly-executed rulings from other notoriously anti-gun circuits.
New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin is not one for letting the proper administration of justice interfere with his political ambitions. Suppression of vital evidence, mismanagement of investigations involving second-degree crimes, and more, are all within his wheelhouse. Given his track record, plus the AG’s one-sided stance on our civil liberties, one could logically conclude he is an incompetent leader. Will he try again?
Today, just-retired federal Judge Peter Sheridan issued a terrible ruling regarding three consolidated cases challenging New Jersey’s ban on so-called “large capacity magazines” and “assault weapons.” In his opinion, he gave a disingenuous nod to Bruen and Heller before completely disregarding both and allowing interest balancing to infect his ruling, in defiance of SCOTUS precedent.
Coming as a surprise to nobody, New Jersey is brazenly flouting long-established law regarding the taxing of a right guaranteed by the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights. As New Jersey gun owners, we are all-too-familiar with the State’s non-stop onslaught of attacks on the 2nd Amendment and those who cherish it. We’ve done the math for you. Come take a look at how the numbers shake out.
The Third Circuit Court of Appeals ruled 2-1 against Smith & Wesson, upholding New Jersey’s subpoena regarding consumer fraud. The case involved allegations of political targeting by the state, prompting federal scrutiny over constitutional rights violations amid ongoing legal battles over firearms regulation in New Jersey.
After the recent SCOTUS opinion in Cargill, letters have been submitted to Judge Sheridan’s court in regards to the NJ “Assault Weapon” and “High Capacity Magazine” ban case. The New Jersey AG’s letter mischaracterizes part of the ruling and reeks of intentional ignorance and desperation. It’s also pretty funny.
In a groundbreaking move, CNJFO, Gun Owners of America, Gun Owners Foundation, and private citizen Christian Benton filed a landmark Second Amendment lawsuit against NJ AG Matthew Platkin and Pennsauken Police Chief Phil Olivo. Challenging decades of unconstitutional laws, it spotlights unprecedented citizen-led research by none other than Jay Factor.
Governor Phil Murphy’s latest move undermines government transparency and penalizes citizens for seeking public records. This controversial bill has sparked outrage on both sides of the political coin, with critics branding it a significant blow to democracy. Discover the full story behind Murphy’s authoritarian agenda and its implications for New Jersey residents.
