Defense Distributed sued Grewal in TX. TX court ruled no jurisdiction over NJ AG. Defense Distributed appealed to 5th Circuit. 5th Circuit disagreed with lower court, said yes, Grewal can be sued in TX, remanded to lower court for trial. Grewal appealed 5th circuit decision to SCOTUS. SCOTUS denied cert. 5th circuit decision stands. Trial will proceed in TX, where I'm sure Grewal's attorneys will be warmly received for putting the screws to a Texas company. Somehow I don't think we'll be getting a tweet about this on the official NJ OAG twitter account.

It sounds reasonable to ask then.......Why eventually do anything more? If there is no distinction, why do it? Why aren’t all therapeutic drugs and vaccines approved using EUA if its good enough?

he'll still try that shit everywhere else, regardless. it's not his money.

YUP.

SCOTUS just denied Grewal his wish in the Defense Distributed case. From the SAF.

Walk outside.

It’s safe but a bleaker future looms upon us by the day considering the very alarming and numerous legislation being entertained.

I am pretty anti-political but this had to be posted. House Resolution H.R.5717 calls for Federal level registration & licensing. Also, 25% tax on guns + 50% tax on ammo. This is how "they" are going to hit us hard. Here is a link to the proposed bill https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/house-bill/5717

Start being political, unapologetically... Our liberties literally necessitate it. Use duck duck go for political queries and supplement Fox with the hill (articles) breitbart (articles) Daily wire (articles and podcasts) and Charlie Kirk (podcasts). Sh*t’s bad out there right now (in our legislative & executive branches) beyond any reasonable imagination. Anyway, I’m glad I saw this, and pretty surprised no one else has commented. Thanks for sharing it. Tyrannical left is attempting a whole lot and excessive taxing on firearms might be one of their LESSER proposed evils (if you could believe that), so I worry Republicans could end up conceding here. Establishment dem’s strategy on policy is proving to be a reversal of under promise and over deliver, like over threaten and under achieve by design, ensuring the successful passage of legislation they know no one would’ve stood for had everyone not been distracted by all their most pressing, greater threats.

So no need to start stocking up on TP and Spam again?

They did NOT say that a bump stock doesn't meet the definition. They said that the definition couldn't be extended to cover bump stocks. It's a small difference but a significant one on the whole.

There's a theory that all the earlier rhetoric from the left about packing the court was to intimidate the conservative justices. The message is "if you follow the constitution and we don't like it, we'll just add enough justices that your vote won't ever count again".

Any win is a win. Esp with the current Administration being pushed/hinting at using EO to further restrict law abiding citizens. This case can be used as a precedent for others.

There, made it more noticeable. Some here want to use the story that kids were vaccinate with other vaccines, so this should be no big deal. But, those other vaccines went through MULTIPLE YEARS worth of trials and data collection BEFORE approved by the FDA. The China Flu vaccine was given a EUA less than 2 MONTHS after second injection, and this is a brand NEW vaccine, there hasn't be a single mRNA vaccine approved for use by the FDA in the country. Anyone who is fine with mandatory, mass vaccination with this unproven vaccine is nuts!

I'm with @Sniper for once. I see the benefits of the vaccine, however it is NOT FDA approved. If you want to get it, fine. However, mandating someone get a vaccination that isn't even approved is absurd. I'm not sure what the "rule" is here, but schools typically only require certain vaccinations if you live on campus. Even then, the vaccinations are approved by the FDA.

I’ve tried this line. It doesn’t work as well as you’d think it would.....

Have hope, but don't hold your breath. They had a perfect storm of gun cases to choose from last year and took none of them. That was seven years after they refused to hear the Drake case. Something that deeply disappointed me and my faith in the court. I do realize the composition of the court has changed since last year. However, I regard Scotus as having been pummeled into submission (eg Kavanaugh) and impotent when it come to taking decisive action on 2A.

Thank you Mrs. P for your help and guidance.

This proves people as a whole really ARE stupid.

if mine comes the same way as the last 2, i'll be getting a check in the mail.......

It may have been mentioned in another topic, but I wanted to make sure this was made publicly aware. For those in the 4th district. Chris Smith was one of the few Republicans who voted yes on both H.R. 8: Bipartisan Background Checks Act of 2021 and H.R. 1446: Enhanced Background Checks Act of 2021. https://www.govtrack.us/congress/votes/117-2021/h75 https://www.govtrack.us/congress/votes/117-2021/h77 Hurray for NJ. I think either are not too likely to pass in the Senate myself. But these are two of the more "palatable" and "reasonable" gun control measures, and they've made it to the Senate, and with the help of one of the few Republican reps from our state.

"Today, I am calling on Congress to enact commonsense gun law reforms,....." I think the recent impeachment hearings prove the Congress has no common sense.

There could be mass non compliance for registration, but guess what, they just neutered those gun owners. Those guns will never see the light of day again, will never go to the range, and if by chance you use one for self defense, you go to jail, no chance of a defense. If you have a fire, and the fire department and police come to help, and find your "stash", guess what happens. Have a break-in, and police come to take a report, and see your gun safe? Guess what happens next? The time to stop this crap is BEFORE the law is passed. After it's signed into law, you're SOL.

You sir, broke the code!

Pizza Bob took the words out of my mouth. This obsession with figuring out ways of restricting ourselves in regards to sudden and violent self defense scenarios seems to be a phenomenon that only affects NJ gun owners. If a self defense encounter would to occur within my home, I will use whatever is LEGAL TO OWN, AVAILABLE, AND SUITABLE FOR THE SITUATION AT HAND. Hollow points are legal to purchase and own PERIOD. Don't fool yourself into thinking that using hornady critrical, inceptor, ruger arx, glaser ammo etc...for self defense of your loved ones will earn brownie points with some NJ prosecutor, IT WONT BECAUSE THEY DON'T CARE!!!!!! GET IT.

It attaches conditions to possession when you are not in an exempt location such as your home. You surely do not think you need to be actively doing one of these things while possessing hollowpoints at home? Please! Efficiency has little to do with it. Overpenetration is a serious consideration, especially with 9mm ball ammo. Therefore, potentially yes, there is more of a risk of damage done to anybody the bullet hits after it exits the intended target - bear in mind the trajectory will probably change while it is in that target so it's not just anybody directly behind the bad guy. Notwithstanding, we operate under too many illogical and draconian rules in NJ already. We do not need anybody imagining new ones and spreading them around as if they were true. I would still really like to know where this idea originated. It is not in the statutes. It is not in the Admin Code. It is not in the briefing Juries are given in self defense cases. If the only identified source is what some guy who passed the (frankly ridiculously easy) NRA Instructors class once said, it has to be classified as uncorroborated rumor at best. I prefer to do a bit of research rather than believe every word I hear from some guy at the range, or a cop, or the guy behind the counter at the gun store, etc.

That addresses possession. It says nothing at all about use, whether defensively or otherwise.

N.J.S.A 2C:39-3f(1) limits the possession of hollow nose ammunition. However, there is a general exception that allows for the purchase of this ammunition but restricts the possession of it to specified locations. This exception provides that:

Want to hit it out of ball park. Make all American made.

I've been watching and waiting for this return so long that it's painful. I'm definitely interested, but will wait until they've been out a year or so. Gotta have the bugs worked out and I refuse to pay a premium for a vehicle.

And this is where the media confusion comes from, and why people think it's "approved" like every other past vaccine. There's a difference, but most people don't care or want to know the truth. Sorry, wrong answer. "Fully approved" comes many times AFTER Phase 3 is completed and a BLA is submitted, and in the case of these vaccines, end of Phase 3 is two years after second vaccination. Then, the FDA goes over all the Adverse Events data and determines if they will approve it. From the FDA: ...."FDA also expects manufacturers who receive an EUA to continue their clinical trials to obtain additional safety and effectiveness information and pursue licensure (approval)." You can also learn about the distinction in the first 3 paragraphs here: https://www.theverge.com/22189236/fda-approval-authorization-difference-clearance-vaccines And here: https://vaccine.unchealthcare.org/science/vaccine-approval/whats-the-difference-between-fda-emergency-use-authorization-and-fda-approval/ Once again, you're "clouding" the truth. Maybe I should start calling YOU Greta. Yes, they look at the same clinical data but with an ADDITIONAL focus on Adverse Events and other unforseen issues that showed up during the balance of Phase 3. THIS is the point where MOST new drugs fail and don't get approved, during the larger Phase 3 trials where more Adverse Reactions show their head, and why maybe only 1 out of 12 new compounds make it to final approval. The other 11 get scrapped because they couldn't make the end point or had too many AEs. I'd bet there's a good chance these vaccines get final approval due to political pressure, even with the growing list of AEs showing up. Wouldn't there be a hell of a lot of egg on the FDA's face and government if they didn't approve the vaccines, after 100's of millions of people have been vaccinated?

I feel bad for the manufacturer. Small business who had success in a niche market and started making and producing his own receivers/guns. Over a year later the ATF decides they no longer like the receiver and rule it non-compliant?? I presume the $225 represents what it costs him to do the replacement. At the end of the day the guy can still sell his guns, so it ends up being a lot of free advertisement.
