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…?

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.

A Fight Between a Rat and a Snake

Dem in Trump district race scrubs social media of posts praising progressives… Democrat Rebecca Bennett… is running in the Democratic primary to unseat GOP Rep. Thomas Kean Jr. in New Jersey’s 7th Congressional District…[More]

The Thomas Kean “rated 38% by Gun Owners of America [and] 67% by National Rifle Association”…? The same one who voted to “Prohibit 3D Printed Firearms… Authorize Extreme Risk Protective Orders [and] Require Background Checks for Private Gun Sales”…? That Thomas Kean…?

What the f_ do I care who wins? Matter of fact, I hope she does.

Do You Know Who I Am? Anti-Gun Mayor Busted for DUI

It’s not hyperbole to conclude this drunk’s “passion” includes denying her countrymen God-given rights enshrined in a document she swore an oath to uphold. [More]

Who wants to submit their rights to the control of elitist reprobates who can’t– or won’t — control themselves?

We’re the Only Ones ‘Cop’rophilic Enough

Police chief pooped by desks, spiked coffee with Viagra, cops say in list of assault complaints [More]

He was trusted to carry a gun while citizens whose rights New Jersey Democrat prohibitionists $h!+ on weren’t.

In all the 30+ years I was employed, the thought of doing something like this never crossed my mind, but then, I don’t have the superior training.

Maybe “Taking a Farley” should become a thing.

We’re the Only Ones Loading Enough

The lieutenant in charge of the state Department of Corrections’ gun ranges has been arrested and accused of stealing and selling millions of rounds of state-owned ammunition worth almost a half-million dollars. [More]

As a former policies and procedures guy, I have to say my jaw dropped that the procurement and accounting systems allowed him to even contemplate doing this. This is criminally negligent management by his superiors and they should face charges, too.

Figures, this is frickin’ New Jersey…

The NeverEnding Story

Gun Owners of America (GOA), Gun Owners Foundation (GOF), and the Coalition of New Jersey Firearm Owners, alongside plaintiff Heidi Bergmann-Schoch, have filed a lawsuit challenging New Jersey’s unconstitutional ban on possessing hollow point ammunition for self-defense outside the home. The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey, argues that the state’s restrictions violate the Second and Fourteenth Amendments by preventing law-abiding citizens from possessing and carrying the most effective forms of self-defense ammunition. [More]

Where it will be tied up for years with their legal opponent having virtually unlimited tax plunder to draw from…

There is a way around that, but so far, I’m the only one talking about it.

Menendez ‘Hoist with His Own Petard’ on Gun Control

What that also means is that Menendez, a huge proponent of disarming law-abiding Americans, is designated a “prohibited person,” forbidden by federal (and New Jersey) law from owning a gun. [More]

A universal truth is that those who demand to control us can’t — or won’t –control themselves.
