I figured this deserved it's own separate thread since the CNJFO already has the Benton v Platkin suit in District court on one gun a month and permits.   FPC Strikes to End New Jersey's "1-in-30" Firearm Ban Following Victory Over California TRENTON, N.J. (September 27, 2024) Following its victory ending California's "1-in-30" firearm purchase ban, Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) announced that it has filed a new federal lawsuit to strike down New Jersey's version of the law. The complaint in Struck v. Platkin can be viewed at firearmspolicy.org/struck. "This case presents a simple question of law," states the lawsuit. "The Second Amendment to the United States Constitution guarantees 'the right of the people to keep and bear Arms' plural 'which shall not be infringed.'" "It's been said that 'as goes California, so goes the nation.' In this case, California's ban was properly declared unconstitutional and enjoined from enforcement following years of litigation, and so it will go with all such bans throughout the United States. We will force New Jersey and every other state to abide by the Second Amendment's protections without exception," said FPC President Brandon Combs. The Struck case is part of FPC's high-impact strategic litigation program, FPC Law, aimed at eliminating immoral laws and creating a world of maximal liberty. FPC is joined in the litigation by two FPC members. link |

Gun coalition targets New Jersey's one-gun-a-month law in new lawsuit Since the U.S. Supreme Court in 2022 declared a constitutional right to carry, gun-rights advocates have targeted New Jersey's famously tough gun laws, challenging one after the other in court, from its assault weapon ban to a prohibition on guns in sensitive places to a law that allows the state to sue gun makers as a public nuisance. Thursday, they sued again, taking aim this time at a state law barring gun owners from buying more than one firearm a month. "This case presents a simple question of law. The Second Amendment to the United States Constitution guarantees 'the right of the people to keep and bear Arms' plural 'which shall not be infringed,'" attorney Bradley P. Lehman wrote in a federal complaint. "The Constitution contains no limitation on the frequency or number of arms that an individual may lawfully purchase or otherwise acquire period, let alone in a 30-day period." continued |

Struck v Platkin update (FPC one gun a month) Good news that the case was reassigned to judge Michael A. Shipp. He's the judge that ruled in favor of Tasers. Apparently, the original judge's husband, Bill Castner was Murphy's anti-gun czar. I'd say that's quite a conflict of interest. https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/69201905/struck-v-platkin/ |
