Duration: 8:25

This video discusses the potential for Governor Gavin Newsom's gun control initiatives to inadvertently strengthen Second Amendment rights by highlighting perceived overreach and discriminatory practices. It details how New Jersey's slow walking of carry permits and alleged racial discrimination in denials, as reported by Bearing Arms, directly contradict the Supreme Court's Bruen decision. The inaction of New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin is presented as evidence of intentional denial of rights.

Quick Summary

New Jersey is accused of intentionally discriminating against black applicants for carry permits, denying them at double the rate of white applicants for subjective reasons, which allegedly violates the Supreme Court's Bruen decision. Attorney General Matthew Platkin's inaction after being notified further fuels these claims of intentional denial of Second Amendment rights.

Frequently Asked Questions

How might Gavin Newsom's gun control efforts backfire?

Governor Newsom's push for a constitutional amendment on gun control is unlikely to pass. However, perceived overreach and the highlighting of discriminatory practices in states like New Jersey, which allegedly violate Supreme Court rulings, could galvanize Second Amendment supporters and inadvertently strengthen the gun rights movement.

What are the allegations against New Jersey's carry permit system?

Reports indicate that New Jersey is intentionally discriminating against black applicants for carry permits, denying them at twice the rate of white applicants for subjective reasons. This alleged practice directly contradicts the Supreme Court's Bruen decision, which prohibits arbitrary denials of the right to bear arms.

What role does New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin play in the carry permit controversy?

John Petrolino of Bearing Arms notified Attorney General Matthew Platkin about the alleged racial discrimination in New Jersey's carry permit system. Platkin's subsequent inaction for over a month, without issuing directives to responsible personnel, is presented as evidence of intentional denial of citizens' right to bear arms.

Could a constitutional convention lead to national permitless carry?

While Governor Newsom's attempt to call a constitutional convention for gun control is unlikely to succeed, if such a convention were convened, it would have the power to pass any amendments. This could potentially include amendments like national permitless carry, which would be a significant victory for gun rights advocates.
