New Jersey has a reputation as one of the states most hostile to the Second Amendment. The reputation was upheld on Friday, 22 March 2019, when anti-Second Amendment Attorney General Gurbir Grewal (a praticing American Sikh) announced a lawsuit against a gun parts dealer based in California, U.S. Patriot Armory. The parts dealer sold a kit to manufacture a gun at home to a New Jersey undercover investigator. From nj.com:
State authorities say theyve filed a first-of-its-kind lawsuit against a gun retailer accused of selling a kit to assemble an AR-15 rifle to an undercover investigator in New Jersey months after the Garden State banned ghost guns.
A complaint filed in state Superior Court in Essex County on Friday accuses a California gun dealer, U.S. Patriot Armory, of ignoring a cease-and-desist letter sent by the state attorney general in December, weeks after Gov. Phil Murphy signed a new law making it a third-degree crime to purchase firearm parts with the purpose of assembling a gun without a serial number.
U.S. Patriot Armory does not seem to have violated any law. It has always been legal to sell gun parts in the United States and to ship them through the mail. It has always been legal to manufacture your own gun in the United States. In the famous Heller decision, Justice Scalia mentioned that it might be Constitutional to regulate commercial sales of guns. Implied is that it would not be Constitutional to regulate private sales or the manufacture of guns by individuals for their own use. From District of Columbia v. Heller:

We’re on your side.
I do not think this is the proper definition of an "80 %er". I believe the proper definition refers to an AR Lower casting that requires machining to be completed. And even then it is a long way from being a gun that can be fired.
This is interesting because all of the Sikhs that I have know are very pro second amendment. And they are nice people.
I worked/lived in NJ (:Livingston) for about a year.
Strange place. It has a HUGE inferiority complex. The entire state is viewed as a suburb of NYC. That view is shared by itself and, of course, NYC.
Things like this are akin to a toddler standing up in its crib and screaming “I do it myself!” It is a prevalent attitude there.
This is an outsider who saw it from the inside. Maybe NJ-ites can elucidate otherwise?
Collateral damage...
If I had a dollar every time a snow bird from New Jersey commits crime in Florida... sick and tired of these democrat states exporting crime and terrorism and doublind down sueinf other states businesses.
This is a violation of interstate commerce Mr AG!
Why has no greedy lawyer filed a federal civil rights case against any of these states that are abridging our second amendment?
The money would be bigger than the tobacco case.
Time to start suing auto manufacturers for every DUI and Drug Manufacturers for ever overdose.
Sounds like Felony Extortion to me, they should be filing Criminal Federal Charges with the US Attorney against New Jersey and also Suing them for Civil Rights Violations.
A clarification: Your quote is from the nj.com article, not the Ammoland article.
Start the registration of knives belonging to Sikhs?
***Attorney General Gurbir Grewal (a practicing American Sikh***
Wonder if he carries a dagger with him as Sikhs are supposed to do, even if it is a little toy symbolic one.
C’mon...the guy is in our country calling himself an American and is anti-second amendment. Toe nail clippers at best.
its actually 2 states - northern half watches New York City TV stations, routes for New York Teams and eats New York style foods
Southern half watch Philadelphia TV ,routes for Philly teams and eats Philly style foods
New Jersey Gov’t - Not content with crapping up it’s own nest.
I wonder that too, given how often an AG is in government office buildings and courthouses.
Thanks marktwain.
