Jersey Devil

The Office of New Jersey Attorney General Davenport has sent subpoenas to New Jersey federally licensed firearms dealers (FFLs) demanding detailed records pertaining to sales of Glock firearms from January 2016 until June 15, 2026, News2A recently learned. The action, which is related to the December 2024 lawsuit brought against Glock called Davenport v. Glock (formerly Platkin v. Glock), could create a public record doxing New Jersey gun owners who have purchased Glock pistols, along with personally identifiable information… “This is a logistical nightmare. It could take some people years to comply with this,” one New Jersey FFL owner told News2A. [More]

So, have any prominent FFLs pledged to refuse to comply and not give up names?

Would you submit to this?

A Case Study

A major new study supporting the 2nd Amendment has been released on the eve of Oral Argument in the Seigel/Koons case out of NJ. [Watch]

Here’s the study.

Now we get to see how that 8 to 6 Republican ratio matters.

There’s still one real vulnerability I don’t see addressed by on-premises armed guards and metal detectors:

You gotta make it from the parking lot to the building first.

In the Spirit of Bipartisanship

Earlier this year, the plaintiff’s wife had been involuntarily admitted to a mental health facility, based on a language-related misunderstanding, resulting in her discharge with a diagnosis of “Adjustment disorder with depressed mood, seven weeks pregnant.” In April of 2025, acting on the information about his wife, the Fort Lee Police Department confiscated Mr. Aliaj’s firearms, ammunition, and related accessories from his home, without presenting any warrant or court order. [More]

Naturally, “the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office was taking the position that his weapons were confiscated under New Jersey’s ‘Duty to Inform’ law,” because Mark Musella is a New Jersey “Republican.”

“Law and order” über alles, right? Especially where “the supreme Law of the Land” is ignored as a matter of course.

The Servants Have Spoken

In response to a question of whether the people decide subjectively what they deem appropriate for self-defense, New Jersey argued that “the people” through their representatives decide what is unusually dangerous based on their perception of “objective characteristics.” As one judge suggested, since all firearms are dangerous under the alleged dangerous-or-unusual test, no limit would exist on what the legislature may choose to ban, despite what the people choose. [More]

Look at all the contortions these robed Democrats go through to obfuscate the unambiguous clarity of “shall not be infringed.”

How many horses and hounds may I keep, again…?

On a Sauer Note

New Jersey Attorney General Platkin (D) filed a complaint against SIG SAUER, making numerous false and unsubstantiated claims about the P320. This false information requires immediate clarification and remedy. [More]

New Jersey Democrats don’t care about safe guns– they just want to destroy the company.

Sig is riding the tiger, holding on for dear life, knowing what will happen if they’re thrown.

Don’t look for Garden State “Only Ones” suppliers Glock, Benelli, and Colt to act like their turn in the barrel might be next. And just what the hell is an “enhanced patrol rifle,” and how does that differ from a “weapon of war designed to quickly kill as many people as possible”?

None Dare Call It Treason

A Chinese auto executive and an active member of the Chinese Communist Party donated over $65,000 to New Jersey Democratic gubernatorial candidate Rep. Mikie Sherrill’s campaign, according to state campaign finance disclosures. [More]

Even if they knew about it, which most will never find out, how many New Jersey Democrats do you think would be outraged enough to consider this a disqualifier?

Corrupt and tyrannical politicians are avatars of corrupt and tyranny-minded constituents, whether they’re smart enough to recognize “free stuff”ithey demand as entitlements is a form of human bondage or not.

What Part of ‘Arms’ Don’t They Understand?

DOJ Tells Court NJ’s AR-15 and Magazine Bans Violates Second Amendment [More]

As much as I point out administration failings, and I do because we have to know how to steer them to do better, I also have to applaud when they do good, and acknowledge no other president and DOJ in my lifetime have even come close to defending 2A like this.

That said, I fear “common use” can turn into a trap so I’m glad to see they also didn’t ignore the Militia aspect in their brief.

‘Likely’?

FPC LEGAL ALERT: The Third Circuit has ruled that New Jersey’s bans on carrying in private vehicles and on private property by default, along with the state’s liability insurance requirement for carry permits and $50 carry permit fee for “the Victims of Crime Compensation Office account” likely violate the Second Amendment [More]

What was their first clue…?

Split Personalities

Will a Republican majority make a difference in creating a circuit split?

New Jersey Governor’s Race Gives Gun Owners a Choice

Being one of the worst states in the union for eviscerating the Second Amendment, there’s much to be said on having the ear of a governor with veto power. [More]

True, hardly a perfect one. Still, the differences between the two are many, and this is New Jersey, after all.

An Age-Old Question

The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF), joined by New Jersey Firearms Owners Syndicate (NJFOS), have filed a lawsuit in district court challenging New Jersey’s ban on adults under the age of 21 from purchasing, owning or carrying handguns and handgun ammunition. [More]

Y’know, if Bondi’s 2A Task Force included gun owner representation, they’d be able to advise Justice on how best to support this.
