A pair of New Jersey firearms dealers found themselves in hot water of the unconstitutional kind when they were sued by the state’s Office of the Attorney General for allegedly selling ammunition to undercover agents without first verifying the buyers were legally permitted to possess firearms. Permits or background checks for ammunition purchases are required in California, Connecticut, Illinois, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island and Washington D.C., making these so-called “states” membership in the Constitutional Republic of the United States of America questionable.
