Gun Rights Groups Sue Fort Lee, New Jersey For Unlawful Firearms Confiscation On Monday, November 3, NJFOS (New Jersey Firearms Owners Syndicate) and SAF (Second Amendment Foundation) joined a lawsuit on behalf of a private individual, Elsid Aliaj, addressing unlawful firearms seizure by the town, and also an attempt to permanently disarm the individual. Earlier this year, the plaintiff's wife had been involuntarily admitted to a mental health facility, based on a language-related misunderstanding, resulting in her discharge with a diagnosis of "Adjustment disorder with depressed mood, seven weeks pregnant." In April of 2025, acting on the information about his wife, the Fort Lee Police Department confiscated Mr. Aliaj's firearms, ammunition, and related accessories from his home, without presenting any warrant or court order. Mr. Aliaj later learned that not only was no Extreme Risk Protection Order (ERPO) ever issued by a court, but the Bergen County Prosecutor's Office was taking the position that his weapons were confiscated under New Jersey's "Duty to Inform" law, informing him in writing that, "This falls under the duty to warn law because your wife was involuntarily committed. There is no ERPO." news2a.com Suit in New Jersey Attempts to Reclaim Rights of Spouse in Confiscation Case The spouse of a woman that was wrongfully committed to a psychiatric facility had his firearms confiscated. Elsid Aliaj is suing Fort Lee, N.J. to get back his property. "Today, NJFOS and our partner SAF joined to file a federal lawsuit against the Fort Lee Police Department and the Bergen County Prosecutor's Office," a press release from New Jersey Firearms Owners Syndicate states. "The rationale for this action is quite simple: there is no historical tradition of disarming the people merely because they cohabitate with someone who may have a temporary legal disability and more importantly, when law enforcement agencies and prosecutors act to restrain Second Amendment rights of the people of this state with no statutory authority, our organization will take action." bearingarms.com  Wannabe Kings Commit The Most Outrageous Gun Confiscation Yet!
