America is in the middle of a Marxist takeover, going from Stage 2 (Destabilization) to Stage 3 (Crisis) inside a four-stage Marxist playbook.

The 2nd Amendment is the backstop to Marxist assaults on liberty and must eventually emerge at the forefront in a Marxist revolution. For now, Americans focus on the possibly misguided belief in fair elections for 2022.

The State of New Jersey is attempting to insert a Trojan Horse into the gun control debate via consumer fraud arguments. If they are successful, the doors will be open to sue gun manufacturers for any claims they make concerning their products.

Death by a thousand cuts.

Yes. Death by a thousand cuts indeed. The gun manufacturers can only withstand so much litigation before they go broke defending themselves. The Supreme Court of the US that supposedly backs the bill of Rights needs to intervene to protect those that manufacture goods PROTECTED by the Bill Of Rights.

Ban cars and planes and anything else that can be used to harm people; it’s not the device but the user that’s responsible.

What about car makers? Can they be sued when a drunk driver takes someone out? Or when an idiot drives into a crowd to hurt people?

If such a law/resolution was to pass it would be an amazingly slick slippery slope, with the simple aim of simply killing off gun companies financially.

As an aside - remember that at one time Britain and Australia had generally available gun-ownership.

At one time.

So with this logic, If someone uses a GMC truck as a killing machine and intentionally mows down people on the sidewalk, GMC can be sued because their product was used for murder ?

“ At the heart of the case, is the New Jersey Attorney General’s position that any opinion that a firearm can be used for self-defense is fraudulent.”

How can that opinion possibly be considered rational?

So it is New Jersey’s opinion that a firearm cannot be used for self defense? That’s a seriously strange form of delusion.

...and if the vehicle is a police car that crashes into someone, the manufacturer will be sued, forcing them to stop selling vehicles to police departments.

...and if the shooter of a criminal is police officer, the gun manufacturer will be sued, forcing them to stop selling firearms to police departments.

...and airplanes, pharmaceuticals, etc. The Left wants to bastardize the Law for their own gain but once bastardized, it affects all of it.

So, how about those armed cops all around the courtroom?

Not only that, but automakers produce cars that can (gasp) exceed any legal speed in the U.S.

I've long thought that gun manufactures should not sell any guns to the state of new york, new jersey, or california unless they are black powder muzzle loaders.

You want to bitch? Take it out on California.

Barrett does that. Unfortunately, none of the other manufacturers have the balls to do so.

A better researcher than I could provide a thousand examples in a good day of work why the AG is full of... stuff. It is a ridiculous argument.
