It seems New Jersey has yet another lawsuit coming their way, adding to the mountain of challenges to the state’s complicated network of unconstitutional gun laws. Read on to see which groups are bringing the latest suit.
New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin and Statewide Affirmative Firearms Enforcement (SAFE) Office Director Ravi Ramanathan announced today that they are suing two NJ firearms retailers over lawful ammunition sales. The lawsuits invoke the state’s new “public nuisance” law, designed as a workaround to the federal Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA).
New Jersey sets the lowest standard of any state when it comes to issuing Temporary Extreme Risk Protective Orders (TERPOs), commonly known as Red Flag laws. The state’s latest victim is an innocent man who lawfully defended himself against an aggressive driver. Learn about the state’s actions to strip him of his firearms, charge him with serious crimes, and the lawsuit he filed in response.
Some New Jersey legislators have introduced several new anti-gun bills for the 2024-2025 session. While the full text of these bills is not yet available, their summaries suggest they are poised to tighten the noose around the necks of law-abiding gun owners in the state.
In the second such lawsuit filed this year, another big name 2nd Amendment group has filed suit against New Jersey’s “one gun a month” law. If the outcome in other notoriously anti-gun circuits is any indicator of success, Jersey is in for yet another big loss.
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.

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.
