Thanks to a U.S. Supreme Court decision, New Jersey residents are now free to buy stun gun and Taser devices for the first time since 1985.
The New Jersey Second Amendment Society, alongside a state resident, sued Attorney General Christopher Porrino on grounds that New Jersey’s ban was unconstitutional. “We were adamant about fighting to make sure there was no permits or permission from the government attached to this,” says Alexander Roubian of the society, citing the 2015 murder of a South Jersey woman who was waiting for a firearms permit as reasoning. “We feel this is very important in regard to allowing people to protect themselves.”
The dismantling of New Jersey’s stun gun ban comes six months after Porrino’s office signed a consent order acknowledging that the law violated the Second Amendment. Porrino dropped his defense of the ban after a 2016 decision by the U.S. Supreme Court declaring similar restrictions in Massachusetts to be unconstitutional. Following the consent order, a federal judge gave the state 180 days to create new regulations. Rule changes were submitted by State Police Superintendent Joseph “Rick” Fuentes, with Porrino’s approval. Pro-gun advocates say the changes give residents power to protect themselves despite New Jersey’s famously strict gun laws.
