Earlier in the year, the Firearms Policy Coalition, another gun rights organization just as stalwart and no-nonsense as Gun Owners of America, had filed a lawsuit challenging the State of New Jersey's semiautomatic rifle ban. Today, federal judge Peter G. Sheridan struck down NJ's semiauto rifle ban as unconstitutional and immoral, citing the FPC's well prepared package of evidence and arguments providing cold hard facts that not only is the AR-15 rifle the MOST commonly owned sporting, defense, and general utility rifle in the United States, but the rate of criminals using this type of rifle for nefarious activities is incredibly low. The subject of the lawsuit, the state government of New Jersey had no choice but to accept the verdict, although a deal allowed the state of NJ to keep the 10 round magazine limit in effect. The statewide FOID (Firearms Owners Identification) card requirement for New Jersey gun owners is still in effect.
It is a partial step, but nonetheless a step forward in the right direction. GOA and FPC members and their activism are the vanguard in this breaking ruling today, in a time when all of our institutions are under attack at the national and global level. This case illustrates just HOW IMPORTANT base level political activism is. Securing the local and community level and making them impenetrable to unwanted outside meddling is just as important as securing a Patriot presidency and national legislative systems.
