The democrat party lost control of the House after 40 years of total control....a good part of the reason for the loss was the assault weapon ban in 1994 which activated American gun owners....
To avoid this, obama decided to take his gun control plans out of Washington, and put it in the states....where towns and cities could pass anti-gun legislation, and then his federally appointed judges could declare those laws Constitutional......ignoring the Heller decision..........and keeping the democrats from losing seats in Congress to anti-gun votes...
The appeals court unanimously found Judge Neals should not have dismissed the case because the case did not meet the requirements for federal courts to defer to New Jersey state courts on the Constitutional questions. It said the case did not fall into the carve-outs created by previous decisions,
-----
At the heart of this is the state of New Jersey looking to attack Smith & Wesson over particular language used in advertising, much like how the Sandy Hook victims’ families went after Remington, yielding a $73 million settlement earlier this year.
Smith & Wesson argues that both their First and Second Amendment rights are being curtailed through this assault, and they’re not wrong.
After all, it seems the state is taking quotes out of context to try and make the gun company look irresponsible. As a result, it may well chill the speech of others in the state, including instructors.
“Future firearms instructors, fearing the arrival of subpoenas, might decide it is not worth advertising their services for ‘safety’ training,” Matey wrote. “Maybe range operators, sporting clubs, or hunting lodges, recalling some dusty pamphlet mentioning their attention to ‘safety’ will weigh waiting for investigators against early retirement. And almost certainly, every shop-owner stocking firearms for ‘self-defense’ or personal ‘safety’ can begin planning for periodic advertising inspections from the Attorney General. . Perhaps publishers will be punished too, with outdoor magazines thinking twice before speaking about the content of a product.”
