He should fight it on civil rights grounds. Heller case.

Unlawful restriction.

New Jersey is actually very pretty, but it's like east Germany. The problem is all about it's government, and the gun laws are probably the most egregious example.

I'm not a legal scholar, but I would bet that most of New Jersey's gun laws can be tried under Heller. They are nothing if not "arbitrary and capricious". But as I understand it, a suit like that requires a "good defendant" and that will be someone who takes away all the classic liberal arguments.

It will have to be a minority, preferably a black woman, who has suffered recent violence, and can demonstrate a need for self protection that doesn't meet the NJ standard.

I don't think this kid is going to make the cut.
