How about we concentrate on FID’s, Pistol Permits, OGAM, 10rd Mags limits, evil feature nonsense, hollow point carry, location restrictions on carry, etc, first.

As it takes multiple years to get a law suit completed, why wait to do them one at a time?

Dump every law suit on them at once.

Duty to inform, one of the most dangerous and unconstitutional laws right behind justfiable need. Lets move on it groups, NJFOS, ANJRPC etc. Anyone who was stopped while carrying and was forced to surrender their 4th, 5th amendment rights just to exercise their 2nd amendment rights has standing!

Slam them with a full salvo, let them dodge the torpedos.

Definitely what they have been doing to us over the last few decades. It will take time, but better start now while we have momentum.

So can anyone call in to listen along?

Feb 13, 2026

TEXT ORDER: Having conferenced with counsel on February 13, 2026, and having received an update on the continued progress of discovery in this case, it is ORDERED that the deadlines as set forth in the Scheduling Order entered on December 10, 2025 [Doc. No. 32] remain in place, including the pretrial factual discovery deadline of March 12, 2026. There will be a follow-up telephone conference on May 22, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. to further status this matter. The call-in number is 856-210-8988, access code 465 552 459#. So Ordered by Magistrate Judge Matthew J. Skahill on 2/13/26. (Shaw, A) (Entered: 02/13/2026)

I doubt it, but I’m not 100% certain.

The conferences aren’t public hearings. I suspect that they’ll ask all parties on the call to identify themselves and disconnect those that aren’t actually either plaintiffs/defendants/legal representatives.

I would figure just surprised they put the call details out there.

What a GREAT motion!!
Take the time to read the entire text, you guys. (It’s only 40 pages)
The State is taken to the woodshed and severely spanked.
Now, if only the Court will do the same…

“while suppressors do not silence the report
of a firearm, they reduce it to a healthier level and therefore protect the hearing of
firearm users and those around them when training, engaging in self-defense, or
hunting.”
using this theory then the state should have the tobacco industry remove all filters from cigarettes among other things, they forced us to wear masks because it “made it healthier” . the state cant selectivly decide what makes it healthier.

i think you guys know the point im trying to get across, if the govt can mandate an action based on making it healthier such as cig filters then we deserve to make our rights healthier.

You’re expecting the state of NJ to employ logic in decisions about firearms law?

Absolutely! Excellent read. Very well crafted.
