Biden judge delivers gun industry huge win in New Jersey

[Geee]

Washington Examiner

A federal judge in New Jersey on Tuesday iced a new law celebrated by liberals that would allow the state to shut down, and likely bankrupt, the firearms industry if a single gun were misused in a crime.

U.S. District Court Judge Zahid Quraishi, a Biden appointee, said that he agreed with the gun industry that the New Jersey law was likely unconstitutional and granted the National Shooting Sports Foundation a preliminary injunction.

 

 

The judge, in a 20-page opinion, said that the New Jersey law signed last summer by Gov. Phil Murphy ignored a larger federal law that protects the makers of guns — and other items — from being dragged into court when somebody misuses their product.

Quraishi said that the federal 2005 Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act provides immunity to gun and ammo makers and sellers against the types of public nuisance laws Murphy championed.
