Attorney General Sends “Cease and Desist” Letters Warning “Ghost Gun” Makers to Stop Advertising, Selling in NJ
Attorney General Gurbir S. Grewal today sent “cease and desist” letters to “ghost gun” manufacturers throughout the United States, ordering them to stop advertising and selling partially-built firearms – including assault weapons – in New Jersey.
Officials say each of these companies sell nearly-complete firearms, often with the parts needed to finish them, and even train their buyers on how to complete these weapons. These companies call their products “ghost guns” because these firearms have never been registered and do not have serial numbers.
In fact, these manufacturers have even been explicitly advertising “unregistered and unserialized builds” of assault rifles to New Jersey consumers via their websites.
“These weapons are illegal in our state. Your actions violate the laws of New Jersey and, if you do not stop these activities within 15 days, I will bring legal action against your company,” Attorney General Grewal warns in the letter.
This is so much bullshit. Federal law already states that you can't sell an unserialized receiver. They're sending this letter to companies that manufacture 80% lowers, and some of them are now stating that they're not going to do business in New Jersey.
The previous statement isn't hypothetical or guessing - I got an email from a company that I've done business with, stating exactly that; here's part of the email:
We here at 80-Lower.com and Tactical Gear Heads feel a patriotic duty to offer solutions to gun ownership even as the 2nd Amendment comes under assault. While state governments like California try to infringe on that ownership with legislation, we have done our best to offer ways to stay legal in the age of 2A Legal Madness.
Sadly, it is not just the west coast that we have to worry about. The latest state that is acting against those who build their own guns and those that sell gun parts, is New Jersey. New Jersey's Attorney General recently demanded that companies stop marketing and selling untraceable weapons, or “ghost guns” to New Jersey. Therefore, we are not allowing advertising or sales of any of our items to the state of New Jersey.
EDIT - here's the link to the actual letter:
