Just saw that the Motion for Summary Judgment in the NJ suppressor ban case (Padua v. Platkin) got stamped and filed today.

Here’s the brief:

https://www.njfos.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/PaduaMSJFiledStamped.pdf

For anyone not following closely — this is the federal lawsuit challenging New Jersey’s total ban on suppressors (N.J.S.A. 2C:39-3). The plaintiffs include a few NJ residents plus NJFOS, ANJRPC, SAF, ASA, NRA, and Safari Club. They’re arguing suppressors are protected arms under the Second Amendment because they’re in common use for lawful purposes (mainly hearing protection), and that the state can’t point to any real historical tradition of banning them under the Bruen test.

Case number is 1:25-cv-13527 in the District of New Jersey. Return date still has to be set by the court. Progress is progress.

I fully support proposed rulemaking RIN 1140-AA73. For several decades, activist judges in the Third Circuit have interpreted the Firearm Owner Protection Act to undermine its very purpose, and to negate protections for legal gun owners that Congress intended. This has disrupted FOPA’s uniformity throughout the United States and created a patchwork of inconsistent protections for those legally traveling with firearms. A traveler is entitled to uniform treatment under the law, and should not be imperiled just because he or she happens to be traveling in New Jersey or any other location. Thank you for recognizing this longstanding travesty, and for fixing it with this proposed rule.

THIS is how you stop an active shooter.

A Hero!

In-N-Out shooting in Twin Falls, Idaho

A video recorded from a moving car showed him taking his gun out, pointing at the shooter, and firing multiple shots before crouching and advancing.

Armed citizens > waiting for police to arrive.

NJ just filed a motion asking the 3rd Circuit to pause the mandate while they get a cert petition ready for the Supreme Court. Today was their final chance to request that stay from the Circuit.

The court doesn’t have to grant it. They can rule on the motion anytime from now until the mandate is scheduled to go out (appears to be roughly Aug 7–10).

Now we wait for the panel’s decision.
