Attorney General Gurbir Grewal sent letters to a number of gun parts manufacturers threatening legal action unless they halt future sales in New Jersey.
Grewals action targets unnamed ghost gun makers who he argues advertises build and kits to New Jersey residents with possible civil action under New Jerseys Consumer Fraud Act, with as much as a $10,000 penalty for initial offenses. He holds that fraud is committed because the makers do not disclose that possessing a firearm classified under state law as an unregistered assault weapon in New Jersey is a crime.
As the chief law enforcement officer for New Jersey, I demand you stop selling and advertising unregistered and unserialized assault weapons to New Jersey residents, Grewal says in the letter. Should you fail to comply with this demand within 15 days, my Office will initiate legal action.
Grewal, 44, is the former prosecutor of Bergen County and was appointed by Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy in January to replace Republican Gov. Chris Christies Attorney General Christopher Porrino. Another recent appointment by Murphy is attorney Bill Castner to a newly created gun czar position focusing on new firearms regulations and policy. Castner formerly represented U.S. Rep. Gabby Giffords gun control group, and he weighed in on the states new stand on unfinished receivers in a statement issued through Giffords.
Once again Governor Murphy and our Attorney General are delivering on their commitment to take aggressive actions to protect New Jerseyans against dangerous and illegal firearms, said Castner. The ghost gun industry needs to be and will be closed for business in the Garden State.
In 2017, Giffords argued that GhostGunner.net and GhostGuns.com should be taken offline because they allow individuals who may be legally barred from buying a firearm to purchase kits that allow them to assemble guns themselves. As such, they contend the companies ISPs Shopify and Dreamhost, respectively are contractually entitled to shut the websites down. Both sites are still operational.
That’s sikh dude. Uh, isn’t there something about interstate sales involved here?

DOH! Double posted it.
New Joisey’s going to the dogs.
When GWB stated that the muslims flew planes into the WTC because they ‘hated our freedom’, who knew that since then every one of our rights have been compromised, eliminated (for all practical purposes), or are under attack.
It went to the dogs years ago. Now the jackals are moving in on the carcass.
Diversity is strength</sarc.>
Yeah, that’s more accurate.

Importing Third Worlders to infringe on American Rights.
Goober Gruel.
“Importing Third Worlders to infringe on American Rights.”
New Jersey is fourth world so it should be an improvement.
Ultimately, the lawyers will move in to strip the carcasses.
New Jersey is a communist state, like CA, CT, MA, NY.
"We regret that backward, anti-2nd Amendment States such as NJ may have unConstitutional laws that penalize purchasers of our products. Caveat Emptor."
This is really about an excuse to regulate lathes!
Mr Grewal has built a special machine tools detector disguised as a dead houseplant:

Your average criminal isn’t smart enough to build his own firearm.
It’s not hard, (or so I’ve been told).
It is a direct infringement on the 2nd Amendment and the Federal government has confirmed in writing that they are legal.
And to wear the bones.
This has nothing to do with criminals. It has everything to do with tyranny. Disarming the population has been what Trenton is all about for the past 20 years. Murphy and his collectivist intend to finish the job.
They are selling a block of metal, with some holes in it.
“encouraging law breaking” ?
How about giving drivers license and housing vouchers to ILLEGAL ALIENS?
If selling a block of metal is actionable, then the Goober-mint Fools in NJ should be sued into penury.
