Smith & Wesson Sues New Jersey on Constitutional Grounds


Smith & Wesson is filing suit against New Jersey seeking declaratory and injunctive relief from Attorney General Gurbir S. Grewal, claiming that the state’s actions against the company are in violation of the Constitution.

New Jersey is a proving ground for a new tactic being used to target gun manufacturers by anti-gun lobbies, by claiming gun companies’ marketing campaigns are false advertising.

As a result, New Jersey is taking actions against Smith & Wesson by issuing subpoenas seeking any evidence of fraud relating to advertising, a move that S&W says is being done “to suppress and punish lawful speech regarding gun ownership in order to advance an anti-Second Amendment agenda that the Attorney General publicly committed” to pursuing, according to the lawsuit.
