Last July New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy, D-N.J., signed into law a measure that allows the state to sue firearm industry companies. The clear intention was to create a work-around for the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act. The National Shooting Sports Foundation promptly filed suit and in January of 2023, a District Court judge issues a preliminary injunction blocking the new law.
Attorney General Platkin appealed the injunction up to the Third Circuit Court of Appeals and last week the lower court’s injunction was vacated and the lawsuit dismissed.
