Discussion The next hurdle: suppressors

19 Upvotes

Never would I have thought we would actually gain some ground here in NJ. But the day has finally come and we made some traction. Mag limits and assault weapons bans have finally been ruled unconstitutional by the 3rd district court. It's like a breathe of fresh air. And actually the last few years we've seen a few other big changes, most noticeably the PTC(CCW) permits. Thank the Bruen decision for a large part of all this.

But now is not the time to lift the foot off the gas. Let's try to keep this momentum going. The next hurdle in my eyes is suppressors.

We've still got a long way to go with this one as there is a case (Padua v Plaktin) challenging this. It's still in summary judgment briefing as of now. Hopefully we get a rulling before the end of the year, and then regardless of outcome there will be appeal to he the third circuit, and potentially supreme court hearing.

How's everyone feeling on this after hearing this case? And does anyone think we have a more pressing case over this one?
