New Jersey Mayors Want the Power To Sue You For Asking Too Many Questions – A bill backed by the Conference of Mayors would let courts issue restraining orders when people “harass” officials with information requests. [More]
And just look at that list of New Jersey mayors…
They’re not the only ones complaining:
“In short, there is a tangled web of connections between a small cadre of firearms activists and their efforts to recover fees through largely unsuccessful FOIA litigation.”

And just look at all those gun-grabbing Democrats who don’t trust you with guns he supported:
Landing at Johnson’s Ferry, the Continental Army still faced an arduous nine mile march to Trenton as the storm continued with a vengeance. Reaching Trenton in the early morning of December 26th, the American Army surrounded, defeated and captured over 900 Hessian mercenaries and secured a morale boosting victory of immeasurable proportions.

Latter day Tories can’t have that.
“These may be the first two lawsuits filed by the Statewide Affirmative Firearms Enforcement office, but they will not be the last,” Attorney General Matthew J. Platkin (D) said in a news conference. “We’re putting everyone else in the gun industry on notice.” [More]
So you deserve to get raped because of that short skirt you wore and how dare you direct citizens to where things are legal…?
This Platkin creature is quite the zealous little fascist. It seems personal.
You know how you can tell he’s lying…?

Involve us with the UN in foreign enforcement interventions involving a nation having “closest friendship and trust links” with Russia, meaning add more pressure to tensions ready to explode over Ukraine, and at the same time undermine that which the Founders knew to be “necessary to the security of a free State” enough to get endorsed by the Brady PAC…
Chris Smith of New Jersey: For Democrat economic and immigration policies and also endorsed by Gabby Giffords!
What a steaming load.
Remember that when you get solicitations from WIN Red for other candidates.
Attorneys representing the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) and its partners in a federal lawsuit challenging New Jersey’s “sensitive places” statute have filed a response brief to the state’s appeal. The case is now known as Koons v. Platkin. [More]

Here’s the order. If someone gets killed as a result of it, I wonder how much sleep the judges will lose.
