From Grok AI:

“What is the record on gun cases of newly appointed New Jersey Attorney General Jennifer Davenport?”

Jennifer L. Davenport was nominated on or around December 15, 2025, by New Jersey Gov.-elect Mikie Sherrill to serve as the state’s next Attorney General, potentially replacing Matt Platkin after Sherrill’s inauguration in January 2026.** Confirmation by the New Jersey Senate is pending, so she is not yet officially appointed.

Davenport is a career prosecutor with extensive experience in federal and state law enforcement, including roles as:

  • First Assistant Attorney General (2018–2020, and later as Principal Law Enforcement Advisor)
  • Brief stint as Acting Union County Prosecutor
  • Assistant U.S. Attorney (Chief of the General Crimes Unit)
  • Division Counsel for the DEA in New Jersey

Since 2022, she has worked in the private sector as deputy general counsel and chief litigation counsel at PSEG.

Record on Gun Cases

Publicly available information shows limited specific details on Davenport’s involvement in gun-related cases, with no prominent role in high-profile Second Amendment litigation, gun policy defense, or major initiatives on gun violence or firearms regulation.

  • As a federal prosecutor in the General Crimes Unit and in state roles, she likely handled cases involving illegal firearms possession, a common charge in both federal (e.g., felon-in-possession) and New Jersey state law (e.g., unlawful handgun possession under N.J.S.A. 2C:39-5).
  • One documented example: In State v. Kareem T. Tillery (2019, unpublished Appellate Division decision), Davenport appeared as counsel for the state (as Acting Union County Prosecutor) in an appeal involving a conviction for second-degree unlawful possession of a handgun.

No sources highlight a broader “record” of wins/losses in gun-specific cases, nor any involvement in defending New Jersey’s strict gun laws against constitutional challenges (e.g., post-Bruen concealed carry or sensitive places litigation, which has been led by the sitting AG’s office). Her background emphasizes general criminal prosecutions, drug enforcement, and law enforcement advising rather than specialized focus on firearms policy.

From the ACLU-NJ site… Just more of the same, but worse…

…“The decisions of the attorney general have an impact on critical issues like whether people live their lives in cages or in freedom, whether police departments have meaningful oversight, whether we promote racial justice and equity, whether New Jersey government is transparent and accountable, and whether immigrants feel forced into the shadows or are free to participate in civic life, among countless others.”…

This AG is not going to be our friend from everything I’ve seen so far… Be prepared for more battles.

Of course this AG is not going to be our friend. She is being appointed by the rabid, gun hating democrats.

If they wind up picking someone else, they too will be the antithesis of a Constitutionalist.

They also fail to mention that she was invested in PSE&G. So much for Sherrill’s promise on day one.

This whole administration is gonna be a horror show.
