Gamma Posted April 26, 2017 at 03:53 AM Share Posted April 26, 2017 at 03:53 AM http://www.sdslaw.us/single-post/2017/04/25/Today-the-District-Court-of-New-Jersey-entered-the-Consent-Order-re-Tasers Today the Consent Order in New Jersey was entered. It is attached here for you to read. The Court finds: 1. The Second Amendment guarantees individuals a fundamental right to keep and bear arms for self-defense District of Columbia v. Heller, 554 U.S. 570 (2008); McDonald v. Chicago, 561 U.S. 742 (2010); Caetano v. Massachusetts, 577 U.S. __(2016). Further, the Second Amendment extends, prima facie, to all instruments that constitute bearable arms, even those that were not in existence at the time of the founding. Heller, 554 U.S. at 582; Caetano, slip op. at 1 (per curiam). 2. Pursuant to the holdings in Heller, McDonald and Caetano, N.J. Stat. Ann. § 2C:39-3(h), to the extent this statute outright prohibits, under criminal penalty, individuals from possessing electronic arms, is declared unconstitutional that it violates the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution and shall not be enforced. 7th Circuit's Moore decision was referenced in the findings.

Davey Posted April 26, 2017 at 10:22 AM Share Posted April 26, 2017 at 10:22 AM NJ will overly regulate them just like they do firearms. A win is a win though. Good for NJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobPistol Posted April 26, 2017 at 11:02 AM Share Posted April 26, 2017 at 11:02 AM Yes, you can own one, but you can only buy it on the first Tuesday of a month during regular business hours, and a $500 crony enriching fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xdm45aaron Posted April 26, 2017 at 02:49 PM Share Posted April 26, 2017 at 02:49 PM Maybe they will regulate them and ban high voltage capabilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinnyb82 Posted April 27, 2017 at 08:39 PM Share Posted April 27, 2017 at 08:39 PM Maybe they will regulate them and ban high voltage capabilities. Something like: "Your household appliances only needs 120 volts so your stun gun shouldn't need more than 120 volts. That's common sense." I mean, that's a perfect example of anti-gun/anti-self-defense "logic" for you, nevermind it defies all logic but hey nothing stopped em before with mag limits. "No one needs (this many) bullets to kill a deer" that is correct, Governor Cuomo, I only need one. But if four meth heads break into my house, I'm gonna need a lot more than what you think is "reasonable." Probably because "you" have a small army that is armed to the teeth, protecting "you."

press1280 Posted April 29, 2017 at 09:47 PM Share Posted April 29, 2017 at 09:47 PM Not sure how permanent this would necessarily be. My understanding is Christie's AG is essentially rolling over. A future AG may disagree, and the court hasn't actually ruled on the ban.I could be wrong though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically they are pleading guilty and agreeing to the stated terms. It has precedent value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
