Federal Judge Declines Ruling, Sets Briefing Schedule in 2AF v New Jersey

Federal District Judge Michael A. Shipp met with both sides in the Second Amendment Foundation’s lawsuit challenging New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy’s order shutting down firearms dealers in the Garden State. In Kashinsky v. Murphy, the SAF is joined by the New Jersey Second Amendment Society in alleging violation of “civil rights under color of law” by shutting down firearms dealerships, preventing citizens and businesses from exercising their rights under the Second and Fourteenth Amendments. The Second Amendment Foundation’s Alan Gottlieb tells The Outdoor Wire Digital Network that Judge Shipp has set Friday, April 3 as the date for the state’s opposition brief to the suit with the SAF/NJSAS response four days later, Tuesday, April 4.
