NJ Attorney General Salutes SCOTUS When It’s Beneficial To Him

We all know that New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin is Murphy’s lap dog. It’s pretty funny how he switches between praising the US Supreme Court and condemning the court based on how much he favors or disfavors any given ruling. They’re either fair and just or they are not, you can’t have it both ways Platkin.

NJ Attorney General Goes Soft On Gun Violence/Murder

Imagine being a state that loves to brag about being strict on gun violence, and then letting a violent murderer off the hook on gun charges. That’s New Jersey, where criminals are treated as victims, and law-abiding citizens as guests of the gulag.

Misappropriation of funds

NJ Spends COVID Funds to Combat “Gun Violence”

We’ve said it before: “The corruption of New Jersey knows no bounds”. New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin has misappropriated funds meant for COVID-19 relief for the purposes of “gun detection” systems and largely in towns that don’t really have any level of gun crime. He claims that so-called gun violence has increased since the beginning of the COVID pandemic and as such the funds qualify for these twisted uses. Read about this cheap, see-through, excuse for the misappropriation of funds.

NJ’s “Gun Lawyer” Firm Scores a Win for 2A Rights

Despite the recent ruling in NYSRPA v. Bruen, which said that our 2nd Amendment rights cannot be denied based on subjective criteria, New Jersey has a law on the books which allows police chiefs to deny 2A rights based on feelings. Read about the case of M.U. He was recently denied a handgun purchase permit by his local police chief. In denying the HPP, the chief also revoked his FID card and told M.U. to surrender any firearms he already owns. Read on to see how this one turns out.

The Judges Created an Unsafe Situation

Before the so-called Carry Killer bill was signed into law, some judges were issuing carry permits that create inherent safety risks to the gun carrier as well as those in the immediate vicinity. Of course, New Jersey’s legislators loved this provision so much that they incorporated it into A4769. Some judges might be ideologically motivated and some might think they are “doing the right thing”. One thing is for certain: they are putting us all at risk.

Judge Bumb Responds to NJ Attorney General’s Timeline Demand

Judge Bumb was clearly displeased with a recent letter to the court filed by the New Jersey Attorney General on March 3. In that letter, the State basically told the judge to hurry up or we’ll go over your head. In response, the judge entered a text order of her own. So far, it seems to us, New Jersey is going to get spanked for this.
