January 11, 201610 yr Author Hi Everyone, Hope you all had a good holiday season and were able to spend some quality time during Christmas and New Years with your family and friends. This posting is being done for two purposes. The first is report the latest additions to the SAPPA Group Activity log. The second is to ask for those who are signed up for this string, to do what they can to get more NJGF people to follow this. Things are about to break and our next steps will need as many people as possible to help us get the word out to the public. Thanks for taking this request under consideration, Here is the latest update on the SAPPA Activity log: MONDAY, JANUARY 11, 2016 - It has been awhile since this log has been updated. That is not however, because nothing has been happening. Nick and the SAPPA Group have been busy. As of last week we have been notified by the 3rd Circuit Court that they have received the Writ of Mandamus (see below) and the associated filings. The notice informed Nick that the Writ has been accepted and a date will be scheduled for a hearing. This hearing will no doubt come after the scheduled ruling date due on February 16, 2016 by Judge Shipp and the District Court. The US Post Office notified us that the Writ of Mandamus and the associated Affidavits had been delivered to the Third Circuit Court in Philadelphia on December 28, 2015. Nick received notice from the Circuit Court that the Writ has been received and Docketed for adjudication on January 5, 2016 and that a Case Number had been issued. CASE NUMBER 15-4067 The District Court was issued notification of the Writ and that court was given until January 19, 2016 to acknowledge its receipt and to inform the court who will be representing the District Court in this legal action. As we all know the District Court's ruling date is the latest of many which have been scheduled then delayed. It is very possible that Judge Shipp having been notified by the upper court, the Circuit Court, that a Writ of Mandamus has been filed against him and the activities of his court, Mr. Purpura believes that Judge Shipp will be under great pressure to finally rule on Purpura V. Christie and without further delay. Even though there is no existing regulation or court ruling that would legally allow Judge Shipp to rule against Mr. Purpura, it is very unlikely he will not. In this day and time, ideology trumps the Constitution and Federal law. So in that light, we have the rough draft of our appeal to the Third Circuit, ready. All that remains is to plug in any statements made by the Judge in his anticipated Dismissal ruling that Mr. Purpura has not foreseen or to remove any that the Judge does not state. There will be a need for final editing of the Appeal and we should be ready to file it within two days of Judge Shipp's ruling. For those who have been following this from the beginning you will see that it has been almost a year now since Chaplain Nicholas Purpura filed the Brief. Clearly these people are concerned about how they should rule and if they will be held accountable for ruling unconstitutionally and contrary to Federal law. And Nick has promised them, they will be. WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 23, 2015- This update will encompass many issues and events which have occurred during the past (9) nine days. The Writ of Mandamus discussed below has been completed and filed with the Third Circuit Court of Appeals. The support documents filed with this legal action can be viewed and downloaded here>>> 1. The Writ of Mandamus 2. Exhibit A 3. Affidavit in support of Writ claims 4. Petition for filing Forma Pauperis Mr. Purpura received a Court Docketed notice of the latest date scheduled for a ruling to be made on the several Motions before Judge Shipp. This new scheduled date is about the 3rd or 4th, all of which have been canceled. It is possible that the letter which was sent to Judge Shipp on December 7, 2015, which demanded the delays be halted and suggested there would be legal action taken if the court continued to protract this litigation, may well have been the impetus for them to at least put a show on that they were moving along. The other ruling dates which were canceled or ignored refused Mr. Purpura's request to present oral arguments. This latest docketed notification also refuses Nick his Constitutional right to be heard. Again we have been informed that the ruling will be made without the benefit of opposing views being heard. <end report> Also remember that you can always go to http://www.tpath.org/sappa-news-and-reports.html to see the latest. If you want to help get others involved, that link should bring the newly interested up to date. Thanks again to all you wonderful people who care about not just our 2nd Amendment rights but the Constitution as a whole. Warm regards, Dwight & Nick
January 11, 201610 yr Also, look at the ANJRPC, I hear that Scotty Bach, earns well over 150K a year. 150K a year to schill for christie in an oped in a NH paper....150K yep, oh yeah he is an attorney as well, I heard that the law he practices in is, entertainment law. Wait, are YOU paying Bach $150K? You can always renegotiate or fire him if so. So you ask if this state is too far gone, maybe not 100% but damn close. I hope these guys are onto something but, you cannot correct years and years of this type of politics with one suit. But let's hope they do..... So if this doesn't fix everything then it's not worth trying, is that correct? I've been hearing a lot of this type of nonsense around here lately. Apparently Jersians have no idea how the world works. There's never been a gun law fix that just popped up out of nowhere and solved everything. It takes failure, persistence, hard work, and time. Will this one break the camel's back? I'm looking at this thread and not sure what to hope for anymore. Except I need to talk to Trump about another wall, and Jersey should pay for it.

January 13, 201610 yr Sadly, in my opinion, yes we are. So, I am an NRA member and no sooner than the renewal it hit my CC statement, I was starting to get the calls about additional donations, they *ARE* very good at that. One, two five, seven calls in, I told the caller that I am well aware of the trials and tribulations that we as gun owners face nationally etc. I advised them that they should spend more time in NJ helping US ! Guess what, he thanked me hung up and what have I heard since from the NRA...............CRICKETS. not one call, not a one. Why? They know *this* state is a lost cause. Also, look at the ANJRPC, I hear that Scotty Bach, earns well over 150K a year. 150K a year to schill for christie in an oped in a NH paper.... 150K yep, oh yeah he is an attorney as well, I heard that the law he practices in is, entertainment law. So you ask if this state is too far gone, maybe not 100% but damn close. I hope these guys are onto something but, you cannot correct years and years of this type of politics with one suit. But let's hope they do..... Donate to the NRA, nope. Anything to the ANJRPC beyond range dues....nope. Let's see if we can start some kind of fire with the NRA........to do something other than the perfunctory blurbs about NJ Ask Joe G. if he doesn't welcome even a slight improvement in the gun climate, if as a businessman he's not at least cautiously hopeful that certain developments might help his business. Barring legislative action, which will never come given the lack of faith in the power of the ballot, we have to take (but not accept as a final deal) incremental help. If nothing comes of Christie's admittedly cynical and probably phony epiphany I'll be happy to jump on your bandwagon. This past spring and summer the forums were giddy over an initiative that promised to heal the sick, raise the dead, and induce hourly diarrhea in anti-gun NJ politicians. Now nobody but nobody has the guts to discuss frankly the accomplishments of that initiative, what happened, why it suddenly died. At least not publicly. Where the f--- did it go? Is hoping that Christie is politically motivated enough to make good on some of his pro-2A promises, and that ANJRPC might be grasping at its final straw ever, any less sensible than believing in the Lawn Sprinkler Fairy? (I'd be happy to discuss this particular issue privately with any of you who participated.) And frankly, as you continue to disparage Christie, WHAT ELSE DO YOU HAVE? Nobody has been able to answer that question.
January 13, 201610 yr PA is not that far behind NJ....your places like Pittsburg, Harrisburg, Philly are the Trenton's Newarks and Camdens of Jersey.... see the common theme...? Inner cities.......... Yeah. That must be why our gun laws get better evey two years. And why we have more resident CC permits than any state, macthing FL which has a higher population. And why we have 4x the carry rate of Texas. And why we have more NRA members than any state. And why our schools close on the first day of deer rifle season, and there are 750,000 men, women, and children in the field that one day. Pennsylvania has the strongest gun culture of any state in the US. And you throw stones frm Jersey. LOL. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
January 13, 201610 yr Yeah. That must be why our gun laws get better evey two years. And why we have more resident CC permits than any state, macthing FL which has a higher population.

Pennsylvania has the strongest gun culture of any state in the US. And you throw stones frm Jersey. LOL. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL Keep laughing and keep importing democrat voters from Mexico and further southern regions, and from western Asia. Think about the gun culture in Colorado, New York, Connecticut and what happened in the aftermath of Newtown. I'm not throwing this in your face because I'm a pussified newbie brow-beaten NJ resident, which I am, but because I'm a realist. The next 30 years will see an erosion of 1st, 2nd, 5th, and 10th amendment rights to the point where this country will not be recognizable. It's already happening. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL.
January 23, 201610 yr Author Hey All, As promised here is an update on the Petition. Early on when we first filed the Brief, we got a terse response from Judge Stark which indicated he thought he was too big, too high up on the mankind scale to be bothered with trivial lawsuits from the peons. He must have seen something that changed his mind because we just received a motion to Dismiss from his Attorney this past week. ???? Of course this filing is just as untimely and infirm as those from the other defense teams, but once again it appears that Court will accept it's filing. So Nick and I have prepared an Opposition filing to Stark's Motion. Here is a pasting from our Log and update page with associated links to the documents. SATURDAY, JANUARY 23, 2016 - This past week, on January 14, 2016, Nick received a very late in the game Motion to Dismiss from Defense Team of Judge Stark, one of the Defendants named in the Brief. The question begs, why have they waited so long to put this motion in? Why not months ago when the other Defense Counsels submitted theirs? Only they know why, but it's pretty clear they waited to the last minute anticipating that Mr. Purpura would not have time to review and then prepare a response before the scheduled Ruling Date which has been set for February 16, 2016. However, once again they have underestimated Nick's expertise and preparedness. Understanding that Stark had yet to provide a Motion, understanding too that his defense would pretty much mirror the lame defense of the other Counsels, which it did, he was ready for them, before they even filed. Making the anticipated adjustments, Nick and Dwight had a formal response ready in just three days. That response has now been filed with the District Court in Trenton along with a cover letter. You can see Nick's Opposition to Stark's Motion to Dismiss on the Documents page where you will also be able to see Stark's filings. Please take some time to read what we have prepared for the Court and once again you will see why they appear to be worried about making illegal rulings in support of the Defendants. We are not saying that the Judge will not rule that way, but we are convinced they are worried about the repercussions of doing so. Thanks everyone, we are getting close to a decision from this court. The fireworks will begin if the Judge makes an illegal ruling, which we totally expect he will. Judge Shipp as you know was appointed by Obama and last week another Federal Judge, appointed by Obama ruled against the usurper in another case. So, who knows, there may be a slight chance Judge Shipp will do the right thing. In a few weeks we will know. Also Nick has initiated an unusual process and procedure which involves Governor Christie. We cannot say just now what that is, until we see the results of it. However, if it does not pan out, we will post everything having to do with it on TPATH and of course here in the Forum. Regards to all our friends and supporters of this action, Dwight and Nick
January 23, 201610 yr Thanks for reporting in and all the work you guys are putting in. We wish nothing but the best. It's much appreciated. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
January 23, 201610 yr yes- your efforts are not going un-noticed, here and in Trenton. Thanks! I guess it "helps" that the outcome of all your on going efforts are easy to predict lol
January 26, 201610 yr Author Hey All, Here is an article the SAPPA Group released this week. It is a bit of a clue as to what we are up to that was alluded to in last week's update notice. http://www.tpath.org/national-media-hate-christie.html Thanks, Dwight Nick
February 16, 201610 yr Author Hey Everyone, Wanted to remind you that today is the day Judge Shipp is supposed to rule on Purpura V Christie and the several motions both Nick and the state's defendants have filed. It has been almost a full year since we first filed this case. We believe that they delay was instigated by the complete and thorough motions Nick and I prepared. That isn't to say we think for one moment that the Judge will rule the defendants in default, even though by every standard and every federal rule, they are. We fully expect him to side with leftist ideology and dismiss our case on the weakest of grounds. Some of which will no doubt be comical. Nick and I have been working on the appeal for this anticipated ruling and we will be filing it in the 3rd circuit court of appeals before the ink has dried on the dismissal. On another front in this battle we have sent a letter (several weeks ago) to Governor Christie where we asked him a simple question. That was, if you Sir, are so much in support of the 2nd Amendment, as you say in the debates, why are you spending tax payer's dollars defending those whom have worked to destroy it? The letter finished by asking him for a sit down meeting with NIck, whereby there may be some room to negotiate and get this problem put to bed. As anticipated we have not heard from the good Governor's office but there is something in the wind. An assemblyman, we want to keep his name out of this for awhile, has contacted Nick and wants a meeting. That meeting will be tomorrow Wednesday, the day after the scheduled ruling. Curious, no? We will notify you guys and gals, here, when we get the official notice from the court and if anything of substance comes out of the meeting on Wed. That's all for now. We will be posting (on the SAPPA Pages) the above mentioned letter to Christie as well as any official paperwork issued to us by the court. Thanks to all of you for your continued support and (mostly) kind remarks Warm regards, Dwight & Nick
February 16, 201610 yr Thanks for the update and thank you for all your time and effort trying to make a change.
February 16, 201610 yr Dwight, is the assemblyman the first actual acknowledgemant of this suit outside of those involved with the paper pushing process?
February 16, 201610 yr I have my full faith in you, the legal system, and the courts, doing what is just. The champagne is chilled and waiting for today's good news.
February 16, 201610 yr Author Siderman, I'll have to answer that question after Wed's meeting. Dwight
February 16, 201610 yr Siderman, I'll have to answer that question after Wed's meeting. Dwight understood
February 16, 201610 yr Thank you for the update. Your hard work for the benefit of us all is very much appreciated.
February 16, 201610 yr I have my full faith in you, the legal system, and the courts, doing what is just. The champagne is chilled and waiting for today's good news. That is one of the best examples I have seen of the triumph of hope over experience. I would love to have the chance to celebrate this, but I can't recall a court ever ruling favorably on a 2A issue in NJ, so it's hard to be optimistic. Dwight, I certainly appreciate all that you and Nick have done on this. Can you say if the assemblyman with whom you're meeting is friend or foe? (I would guess the former.)
February 16, 201610 yr As Americans we don't do things because they are easy, we do things because they are hard
