Attorney General Platkin Files Civil Complaints Against Pennsylvania Gun Show Company, New Jersey Gun Dealer Under NJ Public Nuisance Law

TRENTON   Attorney General Matthew J. Platkin today announced the filing of civil complaints via New Jersey's Statewide Affirmative Firearms Enforcement (SAFE) Office against FSS Armory, a New Jersey licensed gun dealer, and two Pennsylvania-based gun companies, Patriot Enterprises Worldwide LLC, a gun show company known more commonly as Eagle Shows, and Not An LLC, a ghost gun products vendor doing business as JSD Supply.  The complaints assert statutory and common law claims against these defendants, including claims pursuant to New Jersey's firearms public nuisance law.

In the case of FSS Armory, located in Pine Brook, Morris County, the business stored stacks of guns within easy reach of a ground-floor window, even showcasing their location on its website, a decision that was both unlawful and reckless.

Unserialized, untraceable firearms, commonly known as ghost guns, are illegal in New Jersey. However, JSD Supply and others continue to deliberately sell ghost gun products at Eagle Shows gun shows just across the New Jersey-Pennsylvania border, and Eagle Shows continues to directly advertise their shows in New Jersey.

"Selling firearms is a serious business, and irresponsible behavior by gun industry members can have dire consequences for the public," said SAFE Director Ravi Ramanathan. "The unlawful and unreasonable actions of FSS Armory, JSD Supply, and Eagle Shows have caused significant harms to our communities, and they must be held accountable."

Where does a prosecutor come up with "standing" to file a civil suit instead of criminal charges??????

Government, and its agents, cannot be violated by civil suit actions.

I have no idea but I do know that there's a 1500 table gun show this weekend in Oaks, Pa sponsored by Eagle Shows.

ETA: In my opinion it's a frivolous lawsuit to try and scare the gun shows and FFL's in Pa. from selling scary things, except for beef jerky,  to NJ residents.
