NJ Attorney General Demands Gun Stores Produce Customer Records of Glock Sales
Bearing Arms ^ | 5/18/26 | Cam Edwards

Posted on 05/18/2026 2:24:20 PM PDT by CFW

New Jersey Attorney General Jennifer Davenport is continuing the lawsuit against Glock that her predecessor Matthew Platkin filed last year, and her latest move in the litigation has Second Amendment groups crying foul.

As part of the state's discovery process, Davenport has sent subpoenas to FFLs in the Garden State demanding they produce records related to every Glock handgun that's been purchased in their stores over the past decade.

In an alert on the NRA-ILA website, the 2A group points out that Davenport already has access to this information, since New Jersey’s pistol permitting system operates as a de facto registry. So why is the AG issuing subpoenas when she could call up this info with a couple of keystrokes? Because this way the information within these sales records can be made public.

I note the typical Democrat response to folks that produce well-designed products that actually work and that people are willing to purchase.

I really hate libs, and hope that I live to witness their total demise in a manner matching their wretchedness.

If I were a gun store owner, I’d tell them that it would cost the $10 per sale and there were at least 5000 sales in the past. So fork over the dough, DA.

Didn't some official of the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division recently announce that he/she was gonna start filing suit against blue states that violate 2nd Amendment rights? It said that these suits will be similar to ones that are filed against individuals/companies who refuse to hire blacks simply because they're black.

I think AAG Harmeet Dhillion said something along those lines.

Yes,that name sounds familiar. I remember that it wasn’t your typical “John Smith” type of name.

How are all these preposterous impediments to gun rights NOT an infringement?

A citizen’s right so long as he or she does not try to exercise the right.

A little help maybe

Ex post facto is a Latin legal phrase meaning “from a thing
done afterward”. In law, it refers to a retroactive action or
rule that changes the legal consequences of behaviors that
occurred before the law was enacted.

I'm fairly certain that a huge amount of Glock purchasers are associated with law enforcement. Let's see how this lead balloon goes over.

They'll have to take my glock...

...out of my cold, dead hands! Right after I get off the field post-halftime.

Whew!
Glad I bought all my handguns in the 70s and 80s...

My favorite is one I bought in a gun store on the United Airlines concourse by the gate in Denver... Was rushing for my plane, but it only took 4 minutes to buy...

Actually, the BATF requires all Federal Firearms License holders to keep records of all firearms bought and sold under that license. And to produce their ledger on request to all BATF agents. But that’s federal. Since they’re unelected bureaucrats, they have probably been in office for multiple administrations, so they’d just fork it over to state authorities if they ask nicely. That’s how they can get away with it. The NRA has lawyers, however, who might want to see if they can be prevented from getting away with it.
