A Right Delayed

Justice Department Opens Investigation into Alleged Firearm Permitting Abuses in Two Connecticut Municipalities [More]

As I said when they made a similar announcement about New Jersey:

Wake me when they start frog-marching oath-breakers requiring licenses.

What the hell is a permit but a prior restraint infringement?

Justin Time

A New Jersey attorney and former municipal official who made waves during his debate with Sen. Cory Booker, D-N. J., said his unscripted style may be the secret sauce to making history and ending a Republican Senate drought in New Jersey that stretches back more than half a century. [More]

“How is he on the Second Amendment?” you ask…

A Right Delayed

On October 14, 2026, the Department of Justice opened an investigation to determine whether Pennsauken, New Jersey, deprives citizens of their right to bear arms through egregious and unjust delays in issuing firearm licenses. [More]

Wake me when they start frog-marching oath-breakers requiring licenses.

These Eggs’ll Make Fine Chickens

Specifically, a huge lawsuit has just been filed … on behalf of the Association New Jersey Rifle and Pistol Clubs and Knife Rights organizations. And guess what? It’s going to knock out all the other anti-weapon laws in New Jersey… [Watch]

Provided Republicans don’t blow the midterms and ’28 elections to let the Dems decide the SCOTUS lineup…

The groups are doing their part. Are we?

A Constituent Service

In a suspicious development, New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill (D) just announced she will BLOCK the release of 6,000+ non-citizens to the Trump admin who were ILLEGALLY registered to vote in her state. And she just referred to the non-citizens as “CITIZENS OF NEW JERSEY” … [More]

Who does she think she is? Jeh Johnson…?

The Shape of Things to Come?

Major breaking news as the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit in an AR-15 and magazine ban case has just entered a huge order, which I think is going to speak as to what the court is about to do. I suspect it’s going to be a big win for AR-15s and magazines. And it’s going to aid none other than the United States Supreme Court in ultimately, in my view, ruling that all bans on AR-15, semi-automatic rifles, and AK-47s, as well as ultimately magazines, all such laws are unconstitutional. And I think the US Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit out of New Jersey, Delaware, and Pennsylvania is going to contribute bigly to what’s about to happen. [Watch]

Here’s hoping things become so clear that even John and Amy can’t cloud them up.

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…?
