SPEAKERS Evan Nappen, Speaker 2, Teddy Nappen EvanNappen 00:15 I’m Evan Nappen. Teddy Nappen 00:17 And I’m Teddy Nappen, EvanNappen 00:19 and welcome to Gun Lawyer. So, I’m sure you’ve been watching the news as they talk about the trans shooter in Minnesota. It’s getting all kinds of publicity. And it is, of course, a chance for the Second Amendment rights oppressors to do a blood dance and to demand further infringements on our Second Amendment rights. As the old saying goes, let no tragedy go to waste. This is, of course, their standard MO. However, interestingly. Teddy Nappen 01:07 Where now the mayor doesn’t even want us to even mention the trans. Don’t focus on that. Only focus on the inanimate object. EvanNappen 01:16 Only on the gun. Yeah, not anything to do with motivation or the actual person. And so what I found interesting here, and it really is interesting, and something that you may not have seen this or heard this point made before, is, look, I’m hardly a fan of New Jersey’s gun rights suppression laws, and that’s probably an understatement, but one thing that I don’t think the left, in their zest to take away rights, realizes that New Jersey actually has gun laws that dramatically remove trans from being able to possess firearms. Now, of course, New Jersey doesn’t want to emphasize this, and this whole issue of trans and guns and mass shooting gets totally politicized. EvanNappen 02:16 So, if you google this, you’ll get all this Google stuff about, oh no, no, no, you can’t, that’s not a legitimate link. And there was only, you know, they tried to limit. Only a half a dozen of the mass shootings were done by trans, you know, or something, as opposed to so-called CIS males and all this crap. Well, let’s just step aside from the debate about whether the trans issue is an issue or not, and Page – 1 – of 12 instead, take an interesting look at what New Jersey does to ban trans from having guns. You may not have realized that New Jersey gun laws do this, but I want to explain to you exactly how they do it. And if the left is so hot on dispelling the myth of trans being mass shooters or having anything to do with that one, of course, they just want to blame the gun. Well, let’s take a look at how New Jersey operates in creating the trans gun ban. EvanNappen 03:26 So, remember New Jersey in their regulation of firearms, particularly under N.J.S. 2C:58-3c., you find the criteria for which you can be prohibited from having a firearm. And when it comes to mental health- type questions, New Jersey says, have you ever been treated or observed by any doctor or psychiatrist? So, if that’s the case, you’re going to have to tell them, and then you’re going to have to get a doctor’s letter that you’re safe for firearms. And that’s hard to do because doctors don’t want that liability, and even if they believe 100% that you’re safe with guns, they don’t really want to put their ass on the line for you. So, that’s one hurdle. The other is whether you, and remember, this was just recently passed by Murphy, by the way, in the Carry Killer bill, whether you’ve had not just an involuntary mental health commitment, but even a voluntary mental health commitment. So, those are two mechanisms to disqualify an individual from being able to exercise their Second Amendment rights in New Jersey. EvanNappen 04:40 And so, if we go to the NIH, the National Library of Medicine (NLM), they have a very interesting article called “Mental Health Diagnoses Among Transgender Patients In Clinical Setting: An All-Payer Electronic Health Record Study”. (https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6830528/) That’s the name of this article. And remember, this article was not done with any focus regarding firearms. Instead, this article is written to try to point out just how much mental health problems transgender patients suffer in statistically significant increase in prevalence for all psychiatric diagnoses. Let’s take a look at just how much psychological problem exists in transgender versus what is the control population, not including the transgender. So, listen to this. Number one, approximately 58% of transgender patients had at least one DSM-5 (Diagnostic and Statistical of Mental Disorders – Fifth Edition) diagnosis compared with 13.6 of cisgender patients. And of course, cisgender is what? What? In the old days, you may have called norma

I’m Evan Nappen. Teddy Nappen 00:20 And I’m Teddy Nappen. Evan Nappen 00:23 Teddy, I want to talk to you about a couple interesting self-defense cases that have seemed to come up simultaneously, and they raise issues that, you know, you need to learn from. It’s something that any one of us might imagine going through these scenarios, and you should really think about how you want to react and what you’re going to do and what you shouldn’t do. Because remember, once that bullet leaves the barrel, you can’t call it back. You’re going to have to deal with the consequences, and you want to make sure that you end up justified in your use of deadly force, which is what we commonly call self-defense. Evan Nappen 01:18 Yet, here’s a story, this is out of Blaze Media about a mother hiding from a home invader in a closet with her baby, and then she ends up shooting the thug in the head, police say. (http://www.jeroldlevine.com/criminalandweaponcases.html) So, this guy with a long criminal record apparently broke into the wrong home after discovering an armed mother. This is according to the Illinois Police. It occurred in Joliet and the Joliet PD said they responded to a residence on Hadrian Drive in the far west side of Joliet at about 10:30 p. They say they saw signs of forced entry at the home and found an unresponsive man on the second floor with gunshot injuries, and he was pronounced dead by paramedics. They also found a woman at the home with her baby, and the woman told the police that she hid in the closet of her bedroom with her child. At some point, the man came in the bedroom, and at that point, she shot him in the head. The police further say they found a screwdriver in the man’s possession, and he was wearing gloves at the time. Evan Nappen 03:04 By the way, his name is Hurd, and he had been convicted of burglaries in 2022 and 2023 as well as identity theft and burglary in another county. He was paroled in February 2024. How nice. So, this character ends up basically picking the wrong house, and apparently only the mother and the child Page – 1 – of 13 were the only people home at the time of the attempted robbery. So, here you have a home invasion. Arguably, he had a weapon. We don’t know if he threatened her with the weapon or not, but plainly, she was scared for her life. She barricaded herself and hid. She’s protecting her child. I cannot imagine that a prosecutor wants to put this case in front of a jury. I mean, seriously, a mother protecting her baby from some repeat offender breaking into the home. This is the kind of case where you see a lot of downsides if the state is even going to try to prosecute her, and it doesn’t say they are. Even though it’s in one of those blue cancer states of America, Illinois. Even in Illinois, I don’t think they want a jury with a mother and her baby hiding in fear in a closet, having to defend themselves against a break-in burglary with this guy. Teddy Nappen 04:52 So, did they describe the guy who she had shot? Like, who? Evan Nappen 04:56 Only that he had numerous priors and had been on parole and had his screwdriver in his pocket. Also, he was wearing gloves, so he wouldn’t, you know, obviously leave fingerprints. So, this is obviously a guy who’s a career criminal doing at least burglaries. It didn’t mention that he had violent convictions. But, nonetheless, maybe he never encountered anybody before. Teddy Nappen 05:28 They would have let him out even if he had violent convictions. Evan Nappen 05:30 Oh, well, of course, in that, in that, you know. Yeah, it’s always, let these folks out. And so, you know, I can see the justification. Although you know it might be able to be argued. We don’t know all the facts. That, you know, she’s gonna have to. What she’s gonna have to do, if she’s put to the task of having to do it. But I would think any decent attorney would be able to make this showing. That she was in absolute fear. Fear for her life. Fear for her baby’s life. Over this intruder who had forced entry come into her home, and prosecutors normally give more consideration when you’re defending your home than if you’re out on the street. Juries don’t have a lot of sympathy for people that break into homes. No less break into homes where you only have a mother and a baby hiding in fear. Teddy Nappen 06:33 Unfortunately, the biggest issue is

  Episode 251-Bullet Ban=Gun Safety Danger Also Available OnSearchable Podcast Transcript Gun Lawyer — Episode 251 Transcript SUMMARY KEYWORDS Hollow point bullet, gun safety, New Jersey law, self-defense, high penetration, gun inheritance, prohibited person, gun buyback, friendly fire, gun rights, suppressors, carry permit, private property, gun laws, public safety. SPEAKERS Speaker 2, Evan Nappen, Teddy Nappen Evan Nappen 00:15 I’m Evan Nappen. Teddy Nappen 00:17 And I’m Teddy Nappen. Evan Nappen 00:18 And welcome to Gun Lawyer. Teddy, New Jersey’s hollow point bullet law has to go. It has to go because it is a gun safety danger. You know how the gun rights oppressionists always talk about, oh, it’s gun safety. It’s a favorite. Teddy Nappen 00:46 Oh, yeah. They always tote that one. All the time. Evan Nappen 00:50 Well, the hollow point bullet, we’ll call it ban, although there are certain exemptions, but it basically operates as a ban. It needs to be repealed because it is in fact promoting a gun safety, public safety danger. The idiots that passed this law don’t understand what a hollow nose bullet is and what it does. So, a hollow nose bullet is merely a bullet with a hollow nose, a hole in the front. And what happens is, when the bullet hits its target, it will expand. By expanding, the energy of the bullet fully transfers to the target that it hits. Now, what it means is hollow nose bullets have less penetration, substantially less penetration, and deliver more or fuller energy transfer to the target. So, the idea, if you have to use your gun in self defense, is to end the threat. Stop the threat. That’s what you want to do. And so the hollow nose is very effective at putting the energy into the target and ending the threat. It is the preferred ammunition for self-defense purposes, but New Jersey prohibits it, except with narrow exceptions. And those exceptions include buying it at the store, bringing it to your home and using it for hunting, if legal. But you cannot legally carry hollow nose ammunition in your carry gun. Even though you have a permit to carry your handgun, you can’t have hollow nose bullets in it. Page – 1 – of 10 Evan Nappen 02:31 Now we’ve talked about certain alternatives that are polymer filled or that kind of thing that the State Police have recognized. (https://www.nj.gov/njsp/firearms/firearms-faqs.shtml – Question 20.) But the bottom line is New Jersey law bans hollow nose. Even if you use these State Police acceptable rounds, we, meaning you and me as representing you, particularly when you’re charged with hollow nose, we have to go through the whole routine of explaining why that bullet is not a hollow nose, why it’s separate, why it’s not under the definition, why legally, it’s distinguishable. And that is not only a pain in the ass, but it can lead you to be charged with possession of a hollow nose, be put in the Gun Owner Gulag over possession of a hollow nose. You’ll spend a week in jail innocent because of hollow nose. Then finally, hopefully, we get you out of the Gulag so we can actually fight the case and have the prosecutor toss it. I mean, it’s really bad. So, the best thing to do in New Jersey is not to carry hollow nose because the law prohibits it and restricts it. Even if you’re going to rely on the State Police exemptions, you know, talking about polymer filled, you know, Critical Duty, all that. Sure, it’s out there, and it’s legal. I get it, but you’re still running a risk. Because the folks that enforce the laws are so freaking stupid, and they don’t know the gun laws. They don’t know the exceptions. So, they just arrest now and ask questions later. Your best bet. Teddy Nappen 04:03 Especially if you have a key ring with a hollow nose bullet. Evan Nappen 04:07 Yeah, we’ve seen that all right. We actually had that case, yeah, a dummy round. But if you carry full metal jacket or high penetration ammunition, then that’s no problem. Because your full metal jacket, your high penetration rounds, such as super hard cast bullets, are not hollow nose. And you know, Underwood Ammo makes some great stuff, super hard cast. (https://underwoodammo.com/) I don’t know if you have ever checked it out? We call them cherry bombs. They are coated, super hard cast coated solids. And man, they penetrate. They’ll break bone, and they go through. They’re good for stopping large game as well as anything else. But the problem is, when you’re out in the street now, you’re mandated to penetrating ammo. So, you don’t want your bull to go through the bad guy, the person who is the actual threat of death or serious bodily injury that you’re justified in using deadly force upon. You don’t want the bull to go through the target and hit innocent bystanders, but New Jersey

So, Teddy, I found a great way to get rid of pets. Teddy Nappen 00:27 Ah. Evan Nappen 00:27 I just read about this. Teddy Nappen 00:28 Are we giving them to PETA so they can pass them on. Evan Nappen 00:31 No, no. PETA does not like this at all, what I’m going to tell you. Teddy Nappen 00:34 What? Evan Nappen 00:34 This is from international news, but I figure the listeners would greatly enjoy this, Teddy. (https://apnews.com/article/denmark-zoo-pet-donations-food-predators- 6e124050c269331600ec93b266de31ff) I think you will, too. Because what I found, and this is going directly to the website where anybody can go to, is the Aalborg Zoo in Denmark. (https://aalborgzoo.dk/en/zoo-parade/donation-of-animals-for-feed/) Page – 1 – of 13 Evan Nappen 00:58 And right on their webpage that they have, “Want to donate an animal for food?” “At Aalborg Zoo, it is our responsibility to ensure animals a healthy, natural and species-relevant diet. Therefore, we gratefully accept animal donations from both private individuals and businesses for euthanisation and slaughter at Aalborg Zoo.” They show a nice tiger right there eating a beautiful piece of meat of a pet, I am assuming, because. Teddy Nappen 01:36 One might say they weren’t lying about the tiger. Evan Nappen 01:39 They weren’t. As a matter of fact, they say, “Predators need whole prey – including fur, bones and organs – as it contributes to enrichment, nutrition and wellbeing. By allowing necessary kills to become part of the food chain, we avoid waste and instead create a meaningful farewell where the animal can benefit both garden predators and nature.” So, a meaningful farewell for your pet by letting a lion or tiger or some other predator consume it. Teddy Nappen 02:22 Here, I’ve got, I got an idea. Evan Nappen 02:23 Wait a minute. Listen to what the zoo accepts, man. Teddy Nappen 02:26 Fine. Fine. Evan Nappen 02:27 We accept. Teddy Nappen 02:28 All right. Evan Nappen 02:28 We accept, yeah . . . Here fluffy. Teddy Nappen 02:33 Here we go. Evan Nappen 02:34 You’re not gonna wake me up early in the morning anymore, begging for food. Teddy Nappen 02:41 It’s no longer that you are taking them to a farm. You’re taking them to a zoo. Page – 2 – of 13 Evan Nappen 02:46 Screw the glue factory. You’re going to the zoo. You’re going to the zoo. We accept. Okay, this is the zoo, now. Not me. Not me and Teddy. The zoo accepts both horses, horses now, and smaller prey animals, such as guinea pigs, rabbits and chickens. You know, giddy up and get your guinea pigs. Line them up. I guess maybe they’ll take gerbils and hamsters, too. I wonder if they’ll take squirrels. Man, I wish that they took squirrels. They wouldn’t be pets, but hell, take all the squirrels you want. They’re like, limb rats or tree rats. They call them. If you have an inquiry about other animals, you’re welcome to contact us. So, listen, folks. Teddy Nappen 03:33 Oh my God. Evan Nappen 03:34 Whatever animals you have, the Aalborg Zoo has open arms for feeding them to their predators, but please note they do not receive other predators, such as dogs and other cats. So, our dogs and cats are apparently safe from the Aalborg Zoo, but any other animal, including your horse, is acceptable. Wait, folks, don’t just donate your pet and walk away, because, get a load of this, ready? They have a waiting list for horse donations, a waiting list. And before you consider donating, guess what? They need the horse to be a maximum of 147 centimeters. The horse must be in a sound animal welfare condition for transport and not have been treated for illness. They only want fresh, healthy horses to send to the slaughter. The horse must have a horse passport. I don’t know what that’s about. Is that something TSA is now doing? Global Entry, pre-check and horse passport. I don’t know. Teddy Nappen 04:49 I’ve got a, I’ve got a way better ad for them. Evan Nappen 04:51 The horse will be delivered alive to the Aalborg Zoo, where it will be euthanised by trained staff and then slaughtered. The Aalborg Zoo receives the horse as a donation. And get a load of this, folks. As the owner of the horse, you can obtain a tax deduction for the value of your horse. It

Hey, Teddy, did you catch The Trace? Now, you know The Trace is, of course, the mouthpiece for the anti-Second Amendment. Let’s just call them suppressionists. The rights suppression movement. Teddy Nappen 00:40 We can just call them what they are, which is a bunch of closeted hoplosexuals. Evan Nappen 00:44 Well, they are. And the thing is, The Trace is, of course, where we do opposition research. You’ve always got to see what’s going on with them. But I have to admit, they actually surprised me with one of their latest articles. This is from The Trace, and it says allowing people with felony convictions to seek to have their rights restored may, in fact, help with the enforcement of gun laws. (https://www.thetrace.org/2025/07/gun-rights-felony-laws-trump-doj-bruen/) In other words, they are now putting out that, essentially, President Trump’s efforts to restore the Relief From Disabilities, which has been unavailable for 33 years now for good people to get their rights back, you know, that they are now taking a position, apparently, at least putting it out there, the idea that this might actually help enforce and protect gun laws. Now, how can that be? How can they now be quasi in favor of rights restoration? It’s an interesting article, although it does contain a coverup in the article, and I want to get into that coverup. Page – 1 – of 15Teddy Nappen 02:16 If I were to guess, without even reading the article, just to go off a guess. This is them trying to, from I believe it was the previous article where they were fully aware of the racist history of gun laws. So, now they’re trying to cover themselves. Evan Nappen 02:33 Au contraire. They do not admit to gun laws being racist. They haven’t so far. Teddy Nappen 02:38 Oh, sorry. Evan Nappen 02:38 They haven’t gone that far, because that would be a legitimate basis for them to maybe even have an epiphany. Teddy Nappen 02:44 That would require common sense. Evan Nappen 02:46 There is virtually a six to one conviction race ratio of blacks to whites, Teddy. But they didn’t do that. Teddy Nappen 02:53 Of course not. Evan Nappen 02:53 That would be too much. No, no. Yeah. What they’re saying is that, you know, they’re in fear of the impact of the trifecta of the Supreme Court cases – Heller, McDonald and Bruen. And as these challenges to the gun laws are more and more successful, they’re in fear that going after the prohibition of felons having guns, where you have an absolute prohibitor, of which the ability to get your rights restored under federal law had been precluded for these 33 years, thanks to Charles Schumer in 1992 who defunded the program, even though the law has still been on the books, but no one can take advantage of it. They realize that, hey, that’s actually making them potentially vulnerable to having the law completely overturned. So, they’re now taking a, you know, somewhat here, putting out the position that this could actually be beneficial to saving a gun prohibition. Evan Nappen 04:07 But the gun prohibition they’re looking to save is that of felons not having guns. And what’s interesting about that is there are some folks in even the pro-Second Amendment rights community that don’t want felons to have guns because they are not aware of, in effect, the incredible broad stroke of when you just stop all felons from having guns. There are many felons that are non-violent felons, that were one- time offenders, that have proven themselves to be good people, law-abiding citizens that aren’t violent, that are no way a danger, and they’re still precluded from their rights. And there is that horrible disparity between whites and blacks that needs to be addressed. And remember, with that kind of prohibition going on with gun possession, it’s not just the ability for individuals to have guns, but it’s for those Page – 2 – of 15people being denied this right to also work in professions where firearm possession is required, like police work or military, etc. So, you not only get precluded from being able to defend yourself, from being able to exercise your Second Amendment right for your pure enjoyment or to go hunting, but also to get better jobs. And so that would be great, but they don’t talk

SPEAKERS Evan Nappen, Teddy Nappen, Speaker 2 Evan Nappen 00:15 I’m Evan Nappen. Teddy Nappen 00:17 and I’m Teddy Nappen. Evan Nappen 00:19 and welcome to Gun Lawyer. So, President Trump has announced, amongst so many things, he’s hard to keep up with. I will admit that. He’s announced that he wants to end cashless bail particularly after the criminal migrant shot the border officer in New York. Cashless bail is a huge problem. This was put forward by the Soros progressive crowd, and President Trump is absolutely right. But I want to give today on the show, an open letter to President Trump about cashless bail. Not because I, in any way, am critical of him wanting to get rid of cashless bail. I completely support getting rid of cashless bail. But there’s another reason that I want President Trump to know as to why cashless bail has to go. Evan Nappen 01:32 And you see what President Trump talks about, and this is from an article in the Washington Times, July 22, by Matt Delaney, where he states that President Trump has called for an end of the cashless bail after two illegal immigrants with numerous arrests shot an off-duty border officer in New York City during a failed stickup. (https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2025/jul/22/trump-wants-cashless-bail- ended-criminal-migrants-shoot-border/) And what President Trump said is that the worst criminals are flooding our streets and endangering even our great law enforcement officers. It’s a complete disaster. This must be ended immediately, and he’s right about that. Cashless bail acts like a revolving door for genuine bad guys, the rapists, the murderers, and with a particular focus on letting the illegal immigrants out, you know, of course. And anything that the progressive left supports, any criminals that they like, they love, to have the cashless bail. So, they can bring them in and let him go again to further commit havoc on America. And that is the plan with cashless bail. Evan Nappen 02:47 Because what cashless bail does is it removes traditional bail. That means if you get arrested, a judge decides whether to let you out or not. There’s a great deal of leniency and manipulation that takes place Page – 1 – of 11in these things, and these really terrible people that are danger to society end up getting released. And this situation that President Trump is referring to is one of so many examples of this. By the way, this was followed up by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, and she also complained about this and how sanctuary policies, in addition to this stuff, causes a problem. And of course, in New York Mayor Adams, who is a Democrat, he is, to his credit, opposing the state bail laws and allowing these migrants out. Evan Nappen 03:51 So, this is definitely an important issue. But the reason for my open letter to President Trump is that what isn’t being talked about, which is critical to being discussed when it comes to cashless bail, is how cashless bails are used. Not just to release these heinous criminals back onto our streets, but also used in the opposite way, to imprison otherwise law-abiding gun owners on technical firearm offenses. New Jersey has cashless bail, and it is used in this way. It is used as the Gun Owner Gulag. And since gun owners are not favored, since the Second Amendment is hated, since there is a Second Amendment oppression that runs through the system, taking place when you. If somebody is charged with a gun offense, they are now subject to the opposite, to all the propaganda being put forward about the evil of firearms and why a person would have a gun, and all that happy crap and that is used to try to keep that person imprisoned until their trial. It could be years before the person is released. Evan Nappen 05:31 And right now, as we speak, as many of you are aware, because we talked about it on the show, New Jersey has a bill that passed already one of the houses and was about to pass the second house and about to go to the Governor’s desk. Now, luckily, it’s been delayed over the recess, but it’s going to haunt us and come back again for sure. And what it does is it states that anybody charged with any firearm offense at all, there will be a presumption against release, in which that person will have to stay imprisoned with no bail, just the opposite, and it will affect so many gun owners that are not guilty of anything. We’re talking about false charges on assault firearms that I see all the time. We’re t

SPEAKERS Teddy Nappen, Speaker 2, Evan Nappen Evan Nappen 00:15 I’m Evan Nappen. Teddy Nappen 00:16 And I’m Teddy Nappen. Evan Nappen 00:18 and welcome to Gun Lawyer. So, you know, we live in a tough environment, in New Jersey, where the gun rights oppressors are constantly going at us and the fight seems to be eternal. However, in one area, we are making positive gains, and every little bit counts. This is important because this affects us in the big picture as well. And what I’m talking about was reported a few shows ago from our good friend, John Petrolino, who had talked about Englishtown reducing permit fees by doing refunds on carry permit fees. As you may know, the Carry Killer bill, which was put forward in the kicking and screaming hissy fit by Murphy and the Democrats after the great Bruen decision, making it so permits have to be shall issue and issued by states. One of the provisions in there was to raise the two-year carry permit fee to a whopping $200. But in so doing, the legislation that passed allocated that 75% of that fee, $150, goes to the municipality that processes the carry permit application. Evan Nappen 01:50 As you may recall, the town of Englishtown that apparently and obviously respects the Second Amendment, on their own, passed a town ordinance to refund residents their portion of the $200 fee. So,$150 was refunded back to applicants because the fee is excessive, and it is detrimental to our exercise of Second Amendment rights, which was, of course, the intention of the Second Amendment oppressors in passing the law. I’m happy to report, and this is from an article by our good friend, Cam Edwards, at the great pro-gun news site called BearingArms. (https://bearingarms.com/camedwards/2025/07/17/third-new-jersey-town-votes-to-return-concealed- carry-fees-to-gun-owners-n1229293) Evan Nappen 02:52 A third New Jersey town has now voted to return concealed carry fees. So, first we had Englishtown do it, and then with support of Second Amendment groups like the NRA-ILA and Citizens Committee, there Page – 1 – of 10 was this push that is ongoing, and Franklin Township followed Englishtown in refunding fees. And now the Citizens Committee reports, and that’s quoted in the article as follows. “We’re delighted that officials in Dumont, a borough in Bergen County, have adopted Resolution 2025-216 to eliminate the municipal portion of the permit fee.” “State lawmakers set the high permit fee in an effort to discourage average citizens from applying for carry permits. We have joined forces with our friends at NRA/ILA and NJFOS in an effort to provide relief, and we’re happy to say it’s beginning to work.” And that is encouraging. This is the beginning of a movement to get positive action regarding the exercise of our Second Amendment rights. Evan Nappen 04:22 This is very important because not only does it make it more reasonable in terms of pricing, but it also is going to help out in the challenge to the excessive fees which is currently going on. There’ll be other challenges as well, and the fact that towns themselves are objecting to this and helping their own residents is just fantastic. So, we can do this town by town. Every town that joins is another statement in support of the Second Amendment. So, my congratulations to Englishtown, Franklin, and Dumont. The march is continuing to defending our Second Amendment rights and our right to defend ourselves and not be victims of crime, but rather defenders against those who wish to do ourselves and our loved ones harm. So, this is a great step forward. Now I also . . . go ahead. Teddy Nappen 05:38 I was going to ask. I’ve never once heard of a Government authority refusing money. Evan Nappen 05:45 Isn’t that even, just that alone is so refreshing that it’s mind boggling. That they would return any money, right? Evan Nappen 05:53 Right! No one does that. What are you crazy? And of course, when the Second Amendment oppressors passed the law, they thought that no town would ever turn away money. But they are wrong, and now it actually gives a platform for towns to express their support of our rights. So, it’s actually having a reverse effect, and it’s great to see. Teddy Nappen 05:53 That’s right out of that in the Cinderella Man, when the boxer goes to the welfare office and gives them back money. Like it’s . . . Evan Nappen 06:32 Now here’s another interesting news bit that I want to

SPEAKERS Teddy Nappen, Speaker 2, Evan Nappen Evan Nappen 00:15 I’m Evan Nappen. Teddy Nappen 00:16 And I’m Teddy Nappen. Evan Nappen 00:18 And welcome to Gun Lawyer. So, New Jersey has funded their anti-gun rights propaganda center, what I call the acronym of SOROS, which is the State Office of Rights Oppression and Suppression. And what this office does is exactly that. It is funded by you, the taxpayer, and it was part of the $58.8 billion spending package that the New Jersey legislature enacted, which includes $3 million of your taxpayer dollars to fund the so-called, what the oppressionists call, the New Jersey Gun Violence Research Center. This is the propaganda arm, and it is the center that is dedicated to taking away and limiting in any way they can come up with the rights, the Constitutional rights, concerning the keep and bear arms amendment that we so cherish. Evan Nappen 01:40 So, the budget including the $3 million was signed into law by (Governor) Murphy on June 30th. Now there was a whole hoopla, because originally they were actually going to cut a million dollars from this, but the legislators themselves went and said, oh no, no, we can’t do that. We can’t do that. We still have to spend the full $3 million taxpayer dollars on the SOROS center. So, The Trace, believe it or not, The Trace is essentially an anti-gun rights national organization, think tank. They are the folks that are the opposite, if you will, of the gun rights organizations that fight vigorously to defend our rights. We make sure that we read and do what’s called “opposition research”. And it was The Trace that actually brought this out, of course, in a very positive way. The Trace was pleased as punch that New Jersey has done it. In an article from TheTrace.org, it says, as a matter of fact, the article, you can read it yourself, is “Major Gun Violence Research Hub Escapes Crippling Funding Cuts”. (https://www.thetrace.org/2025/07/new-jersey-gun-violence-research-funding/) Page – 1 – of 10 Evan Nappen 03:06 Yes, that’s right. New Jersey has done just that. In a statement to The Trace on July 1, 2025, it says, a spokesperson for Murphy said the governor was pleased to continue funding the center. “From day one, our Administration has remained steadfast in our efforts to create a stronger, fairer, and safer New Jersey . . .” At the expense, of course, of what? Our rights. So, that’s what they do. It doesn’t accomplish their goals at all in terms of what the governor stated, but it sure does fund the anti-rights suppression movement. The spokesman further said to The Trace, “Through the several policies, laws, and initiatives implemented over the past seven and a half years, we have recognized historic lows in gun violence across the state.” Evan Nappen 04:04 Yeah, like that has anything to do with The Trace or gun laws. Of course, it has nothing to do with it. As a matter of fact, gun crime itself and those statistics deal exclusively with what does and doesn’t get reported. And as they say, statistics are like prisoners of war. They can be tortured to say anything you want. Furthermore, the article states “New Jersey remains a model for how other states can take meaningful action to reduce gun violence, said New Jersey Assemblyman Craig Coughlin, a Democrat. This funding reflects our ongoing commitment to public safety and saving lives.” Yeah, ongoing commitment to funding the suppression of our gun rights and to have a propaganda mill able to do that very thing at the expense of you, the taxpayer, the law-abiding gun owner, who pays taxes to New Jersey. That’s where your money’s going, folks. That’s the state that we live in. Evan Nappen 05:14 So, this is also important nationally. As I’m sure you should be aware, President Trump has cut funding for all kinds of anti-gun rights suppression activity, including to various agencies that would also go and attempt to fund other Soros-type agencies, you know, where they are going at our rights. And the idea here, with New Jersey being this state funder, is to try to convince other states, of course, to do their own state office of rights oppression and suppression. So, New Jersey is leading the way in the propaganda research area of trying to use these things. They then take these studies and use them to further the agenda legislatively and also in terms of litigation. This is the function of these groups, and wha

So, I have some important updates to let our beloved listeners know about, both state and federal. As you know, we’ve been deep in the fight in New Jersey over the absurd next batch of gun rights oppression being pushed by Murphy and the Democrats, and we’ve reviewed on the show just how serious and awful these bills are. Well, I actually have some good news to report, at least good news for now, and that is that those gun bills have been stalled as the New Jersey legislature has entered summer recess. So, folks, your important work of contacting legislators, of belonging to the Association of New Jersey Rifle & Pistol Clubs, and responding to the emails. By clicking the buttons and letting the legislators know and making the phone calls, the pressure has been effective. We are stalling this. Evan Nappen 01:27 Now, of course, it doesn’t kill it. They’ll be back after the recess, and the fight continues because our liberty requires eternal vigilance, as has often been stated. And it’s true, but we can take a moment to be thankful that our efforts have, at the moment, paid off in delaying these atrocities from being placed into law, and that includes the Gulag bills. It also includes the raising of gun possession penalties to the equivalent of murder charges. It includes making a gun accident a felony, a universal felony, virtual and then subjecting you to the Gulag on top of that, etc. The whole package of horrible oppression has been stalled. So, keep up the good work and stay tuned for more updates on the New Jersey battlefront as the fight continues. Teddy Nappen 02:34 One might. Page – 1 – of 16 Evan Nappen 02:35 Let me give you. Teddy Nappen 02:36 One might recommend we should endeavor to persevere. Evan Nappen 02:39 Yeah, yeah, endeavor to persevere, as stated on the famous or in the famous Clint Eastwood movie. But our perseverance is critical to the protection of our rights. I don’t know if at some point we’ll have to take the next steps that the Native Americans took in that movie. But anyway, until then, the fight is on. So, this is what we have to do at the moment. We’re doing good work, and it’s paying off. Make sure that you’re a member of the Association of New Jersey Rifle & Pistol Clubs. That’s ANJRPC.org. They are the state gun rights group, our umbrella organization of gun clubs throughout New Jersey. And as an individual member, you’ll be sent the email alerts as to the shenanigans taking place in Trenton, and you’ll be provided with action that you can very easily take to make a difference. You can fight. You’re not powerless. Join the Association. There’s power in numbers, and you can make a big difference. Please make sure you belong to ANJRPC. You’ll be glad you did, and you’ll know that you’re part of the solution and the great gun rights defender group of New Jersey. Evan Nappen 04:11 Now let’s switch to federal law. So, you may have been following the big, beautiful bill, and we’ve talked about how there was efforts to relieve us of the oppression, since 1934, under the National Firearms Act (NFA). The bill, if you follow the big, beautiful bill, started in the House in which there was the HPA, the Hearing Protection Act, was put forward because the NFA is a tax law. The National Firearms Act is based in the power of taxation. The original house bill removed the $200 tax, but we wanted it to go further. In the Senate, the Senate bill not only removed the tax and attacked the NFA on silencers, but also included SBRs, short barrel rifles, SBSs, short barrel shotguns and AOW, any other weapons. Not only eliminating the taxes, but also eliminating and repealing those laws themselves. Evan Nappen 05:32 The Senate version, though passed, was then subject to what is called the “Byrd Bath”. The “Byrd Bath” is where a single unelected bureaucrat known as the Parliamentarian, who has been in that position for over a decade and is a Democrat, big shock, removed from the Senate bill the NFA provisions on the SHORT (Stop Harassing Owners of Rifles Today) Act, which is the SBRs, SBSs, and AOW law and the suppressor laws. The Parliamentarian removed it, saying that it exceeded dealing with taxation, which is a croc

  Episode 244-Gun Rights Oppressors Coming on Strong Also Available OnSearchable Podcast Transcript Gun Lawyer — Episode 244 Transcript SUMMARY KEYWORDS Gun rights, reconciliation bill, National Firearms Act, silencers, SBRs, SBSs, Senate parliamentarian, Elizabeth McDonough, Senator Cornyn, Senator Thune, JD Vance, Second Amendment, knife laws, Supreme Court, nationwide injunctions. SPEAKERS Evan Nappen, Speaker 2, Teddy Nappen Evan Nappen 00:15 I’m Evan Nappen. Teddy Nappen 00:17 and I’m Teddy Nappen. Evan Nappen 00:18 and welcome to Gun Lawyer. So, the gun rights oppressors are out in full force, and they’re setting us back. It’s a couple steps forward, and then a couple steps back. The battle rages. So, we had gotten into the reconciliation bill, the repeal on the National Firearms Act (NFA) of the, we’ll just call it ban, for lack of a better word, ban on silencers and the ban on SBRs (Short Barrel Rifles) and SBSs (Shot Barrel Shotguns) and AOWs (Any Other Weapons). The repeal was in the bill, but as a reconciliation bill, it only requires a simple majority in which we could avoid cloture, avoid filibuster. You know, that’s where the Democrats who aren’t in power invoke that so that 60 votes is needed in order to get something passed. In this way, the Democrat gun rights oppressors can still stop us from regaining our liberty. And so by putting it in a reconciliation bill, it was excellent, because we could avoid that. Evan Nappen 01:38 And reconciliation, though, is limited to tax matters. But the beauty of it is that the NFA is a tax law. The National Firearms Act was enacted based on the power of taxation. Yet, every reconciliation bill has to be evaluated by the Senate Parliamentarian, whose name is Elizabeth MacDonough. She is a Democrat who’s been there for well over a decade. And why they don’t can her ass, I have no idea. But she took the party line, and in doing what they call the “Byrd Bath” from Senator Byrd, she ripped out of the reconciliation bill the pro-Second Amendment rights language of the bill. So, that is really a shame. Now it’s not over yet, but we were on a fast track here to get liberty on those issues restored. But now, thanks to Democrats, again, we’re back where we were. Evan Nappen 02:55 So, at this point, what we’re hoping to see is a couple things. Number one is Senator (John) Cornyn has stated that he’s confident the bill can be amended to eliminate the NFA tax on suppressors, SBRs and all that. But just eliminating the tax may or may not eliminate the registration and that’s the onerous Page – 1 – of 11 part of the infliction on our Second Amendment rights. It’s not just about paying 200 bucks. It’s about the Government regulating, to the degree of discouragement, the acquisition of these items. So, I don’t know if Senator Cornyn’s plan will get us to the goal of the nullification, if you will, of these NFA provisions. Evan Nappen 03:56 The other attempt, is to get either Senator (John) Thune, who’s of course, the head of the Senate, or better yet, J.D. Vance, to override the ruling by the partisan parliamentarian. But that is somewhat more of a long shot and most likely not going to happen, because the Senate is afraid that if we do that now, that later, if power shifts in the Houses, the Democrats will try to ram through more anti-liberty, more to anti-gun, more anti-rights, more of their progressive insanity agenda, not just on guns and that the Parliamentarian’s ruling needs to be respected. Now, of course, it was always funny is the Republicans, you know, try to enforce and play by these rules, until the Democrats “f” them later, where they don’t play by these rules. So, to worry about the future with this is stupid, because if the Democrats do gain power, they’ll be the ones to actually not follow a Parliamentarian’s recommendations. Evan Nappen 05:23 We’ve seen them do this in the past. Because cloture, originally, you know that rule, that filibuster rule, applied universally, and it was the Democrats that changed it for judges and changed it for tax things so they could move their agenda. And, you know, when it suits them, they’re happy with it. But Republicans don’t seem to have the balls to do what’s right. And by the way, we have three and a half or more years with President Trump, and he’s turning the country around. So, to be worrying about our potential loss of power down the road is just ridiculous to make that the consideration when it comes to restoring our Second Amendment rights. But yet, here we are. Evan Nappen 06:13 So, the fight is on, and I would highly recommend that you join the fight. That you join the NRA (National Rifle Association) and GOA (Gun Owners of America) and FPC (Firearm Policy Coalition). I’m a member of every or

SPEAKERS Speaker 2, Teddy Nappen, Evan Nappen Evan Nappen 00:15 I’m Evan Nappen. Teddy Nappen 00:17 And I’m Teddy Nappen. Evan Nappen 00:18 and welcome to Gun Lawyer. Well, New Jersey has absolutely gone insane. Wait till I tell you about this. They intend to lock up every self-defender, everybody that carries a gun, even with a permit. They want to turn everybody, not only into criminals, but they want to lock up gun owners and throw away the key without any trial. It is absolutely nuts. Let’s get into it. Teddy Nappen 00:51 Sounds like another Tuesday in New Jersey, though. Evan Nappen 00:53 Well, I’ll tell you what, folks. This is something that on its face, many folks would not understand, but I’m going to make it. I’m going to clarify it. I’m going to make it so you will be able to understand the reality of what New Jersey is attempting to do to all of us. So, recently, a whole package of gun rights suppression laws have been pushed through the Senate, and these have been passed already by the House. They’re looking to fast track these bills to get them passed. Let me talk to you about these bills. Evan Nappen 01:43 Let’s start with the one that is the worst of the worst. They’re all terrible, but this one is just insanity plus. As many of you are aware, New Jersey has what I’ve often called and still call the Gun Owner Gulag. Now the Gun Owner Gulag is because New Jersey got rid of bail, cash bail, for crimes. In New Jersey, when you face a charge that is put on a warrant, as opposed to a summons, and remember just about every serious offense is put on a warrant, not a summons. With a summons, you’re simply given a notice to appear in court, and that’s it. But with a warrant, you’re arrested, and then you have to get released by a judge. The system for the release in New Jersey is called pre-trial detention, and it is now being abused to the max to destroy gun owners’ lives. Page – 1 – of 13 Evan Nappen 02:46 Let me explain what is going on. So, right now, as we speak, if you have any kind of firearm charge, you’re going to end up subject to the pre-trial detention system as to whether you get released. So, the way it works first is, if you are charged with a warrant charge, it doesn’t matter that you’re innocent, you’re going to be held for 48 hours. The prosecutor can decide anytime within that 48 hours, whether or not to seek pre-trial detention. Now, if the prosecutor chooses not to seek pre-trial detention, great! You’re going to be released, maybe with some conditions. There’s no more bail, and you’re going to be let go. However, when it comes to guns, they just about always, and now with these new laws, it’ll probably be always seek pre-trial detention. Now if they seek pre-trial detention, it means you’re going to have to have a hearing, and if the judge grants the State’s motion for pre-trial detention, you will be held until your trial. In jail with no bail. That’s how it works. Unless you get the matter somehow adjudicated prior to trial, where you end up pleading to something where you’re going to do time or whatever, or you get it adjudicated, because you win on some motion, months and months and months that you’ve been sitting there. But, short of that, you’re held without bail. So, the way it’s working right now is you have this pre-trial detention system. You have the 48 hours, and then you’re going to have the five days for the hearing. It’s critical that you have an attorney that knows what the hell they’re doing, because if you don’t get out, then you’re staying in. Okay? It’s bad. Evan Nappen 04:33 Now, currently, what happens is there is what’s called a PSA, Public Safety Assessment, that gets done. It’s two different assessments. One is whether you’re a flight risk. And that doesn’t mean whether you’re going to sprout wings and fly away. It means, are you going to come back to court? Now that was always the traditional reason for bail, to ensure that you come back to court. The second is a so- called, safety threat to the community, or any other label you want to give it. And when it comes to guns, all the anti-gun propaganda comes out about guns and the danger of guns, and why do you have a gun and everything under the sun that always makes us nauseous to hear when the antis go

So, I came across a really interesting article about something that took place in Englishtown, New Jersey. And this article is done by our dear friend, John Petrolino for BearingArms, and you’ll be able to find it there. (https://bearingarms.com/john-petrolino/2025/06/12/nj- town-resolves-that-excessive-permitting-fees-are-unconstitutional-n1228911) This is really an amazing thing, because I’ve never, never, seen this before. Teddy Nappen 00:52 Flea market opening up? EvanNappen 00:53 No, well, the Englishtown flea market is still there, but I would not recommend it. It has changed tremendously from the old days when I used to go every weekend with my dad when I was a kid. As my father said, it became more and more of less and less, and I think that’s what you’re seeing now. The most incredible selection of less. So, anyway, Englishtown, though, the town of Englishtown, did something extraordinary. They actually took action to reduce the excessive permitting fees that are unconstitutional that New Jersey pushed through by Murphy. As you may know, when you apply for your carry permit in New Jersey, there’s a $200 fee for getting a permit to exercise your Constitutional right. And that is just outrageous. If we charged such a thing to vote, it would be a poll tax and would be unconstitutional. But somehow, an excessive $200 fee is fine and dandy, because, well, you know, it’s just the Second Amendment, right? EvanNappen 02:22 So, this article goes on to explain that what Englishtown did, what the mayor, who deserves tremendous credit, and the town council, tremendous credit. Mayor Daniel Francisco and his council Page – 1 – of 10 passed a resolution, and I’ll read you what it says. It’s very short and directly to the point. Whereas, pursuant to N.J.S.A. 2C:58-4, applicants for permits to carry a handgun are required to pay an application fee in the amount of $200 of which $150 is retained by the municipality, and $50 is forward to the Superintendent of State Police. Whereas, the Borough of Englishtown recognizes that the statutory fee structure imposes financial burdens on applicants and wishes to ease that burden for residents by offering refunds of the Borough’s retained portion of the application fee, and whereas, the Borough has determined that is in the public interest to establish an administrative process for refunding $150 municipal share of the application fee upon appropriate documentation. Look at that. This town will refund its applicants $150 of the excessive fees that Murphy put through so that to exercise your Second Amendment right in Englishtown, to defend yourself and your loved ones, is only a $50 permit. A $50 fee that goes to the State Police. Wouldn’t it be nice to see the State Police refund their fee as well. But somehow, I don’t think we’re going to see that, but this is an excellent move. EvanNappen 04:29 And, man, I’d love to see town after town in New Jersey create the refund practice that Englishtown has done. This should be something that everyone in your town should talk to your officials about refunding it, about not accepting the $150 fee. Apparently it passed four to one. And as Mayor Francisco says, this is about his council passing it, they should be applauded loudly for their fortitude and conviction. And I second that as well. Also, I’d like to point out that assisting in getting this through was, of course, many individuals in New Jersey that are active. National Second Amendment groups also showed up, including Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms and the Second Amendment Foundation. Also, the New Jersey Firearms Owners Syndicate had great testimony by Joseph LoPorto and that made a major impact as well. The Association of New Jersey Rifle & Pistol Clubs and the NRA were there, too. All showing their support. There was great unity here, and seeing this new movement that can be done town by town. So, great job to everyone who worked hard to see that go through, particularly their Mayor Francisco, who is a stand up guy for our rights. Teddy Nappen 06:39 Actually, I’m just kind of curious. It seems like Englishtown is an extremely pro-gun town, for New Jersey of all places. But in your experience and time, it’s kind of like unbreakable, where you have the one guy who’s completely like unbreakable. You have the glass. Who’s the most anti-gun t

SPEAKERS Teddy Nappen, Evan Nappen, Speaker 2 Evan Nappen 00:15 I’m Evan Nappen. Teddy Nappen 00:17 And I’m Teddy Nappen. Evan Nappen 00:18 and welcome to Gun Lawyer. New Jersey loves to steal your guns and steal your gun rights. They love to turn law-abiding citizens into criminals. They love to suppress our Second Amendment rights. What I want to talk about today is to give you 10 important tips on how to defeat New Jersey. Should you become a victim of a New Jersey gun theft, where New Jersey, the state of New Jersey, seizes your firearms and attempts to take away your gun rights and keep your guns by what they call forfeiture. The Nazis called it expropriation of property, but New Jersey calls it forfeiture. When these things happen, it can be extremely emotionally upsetting, because your privacy is invaded. Your home, your sanctuary, has been invaded. Your property has been seized and taken, and now you’re going to have to fight to regain your property and stop the Government from taking your rights. Evan Nappen 01:38 And these battles, if you will, can take place under different legal proceedings. New Jersey has quite a number of ways. One can be via a weapon forfeiture hearing after a domestic violence seizure. Another can be what’s commonly known as Red Flag, but in New Jersey it’s an ERPO, an Extreme Risk Protection Order, seizure and then you fight to get your guns back. Another is the so-called duty to warn where any medical professional, even nurses, social service, social workers. I mean, just to list ridiculous. They have an obligation to call the police if you make any statement to harm yourself or others. Even if it’s just a hyperbolic statement, or, you know, oh my god, had such a bad day, I could kill myself, or kill that guy, or whatever. Even though you didn’t actually mean. It doesn’t matter. It’s like making a bomb joke at the airport. Police come and take your guns. Now you get up to fight to get them back. They can also be seized pursuant to a search warrant where there’s alleged criminal activity, and whether there is or isn’t, it doesn’t matter. They get the warrant, and they take it. I’ve seen it even where the guns are just taken with no actual statutory authority whatsoever. They’ll just say, oh, it was a Page – 1 – of 11“community caretaking” function, for the safety of the public. You know, just some BS reason. But still, you’ll have to fight to get your rights back. Evan Nappen 02:59 And under New Jersey’s licensing law, they can bring a motion at any time to revoke your licenses. So, they usually throw that into the mix – the revocation of your Firearms ID Card, Carry Permit, pistol purchase permits, whatever you have. They’ll move to revoke them, and the battle is on for your rights and for your property. And what I want to do here is outline important things that you should think about and do in order to put yourself in the best possible position when it comes to fighting these types of actions in court. So, number one, you should be a member of a gun club. Being a member of multiple clubs, organizations, etc., that are sportsman organizations, is important, along with a gun range. Because by being a member of a club, a range, a group, an organization, it shows that your purpose was to partake in the shooting sports. You were a Club Member. You had these firearms for this reason, although that’s not a requirement in law. Because you’re allowed to have guns for any lawful reason you wish. But in the fight, we have to be able to present that you had it and that you were a member of these organizations or groups or clubs. A gun club can be very helpful in painting the factual picture about you to get your firearms and your rights returned. Evan Nappen 04:26 The other thing is how the guns were stored. So, your firearms should be stored in a gun safe. Nowadays, gun safes are easily acquired, and you can have a wide price range of gun safes. I mean, you can get a so-called gun safe that’s more of a gun locker, but it’s steel. It locks, and even that is a security cabinet for guns. It’s better than not having anything. If your guns were secured in a gun safe, that’s yet another thing to show that you were safely storing your firearms, and only you should have access to those guns. Not your wife. Nobody else in your household. It’s your guns. It’s your gun safe and only you had access. And this way we can put that forward. Only you

And the question is, how many privately owned firearms are there in the United States? We’re talking privately owned, not even owned by, you know, the Government, the military, etc. How many privately owned firearms are in the United States? Teddy Nappen 00:50 Now, it’s the total number of the firearms? Evan Nappen 00:53 Total number of guns in the U.S. It is interesting to know this figure, especially when you start thinking about those that want to suppress our rights. So, this is an article from AmmoLand, and it’s by one of my favorite writers in AmmoLand, who is Dean Weingarten. (https://www.ammoland.com/2025/05/update-533-million-privately-owned-firearms-in-the-united-states/) He says is that there are approximately, are ready for this, 533 million firearms in private hands in the United States of America in 2025. That’s right over half a billion privately-owned guns in the U.S. So, just taking that number, just letting that sink in for a minute, it shows you the absolute futility of anti-gun rights laws, and the farce of thinking that a gun ban could work. What a joke. They can’t even round up the illegal aliens, which pale in numbers compared to the number of guns. Evan Nappen 02:15 I mean, these bans, apart from being an absolute violation of our rights and a violation of what is important for maintaining the security of ourselves and our families and our country, it is an incredible figure of such quantity that it is hard to really keep it in mind. I mean, think about it. Our current population is estimated to be like 343 million people. So, we have way more guns. We have almost 200 million more guns in private hands than we have people in the United States. It comes down to 1.55 firearms for every person in the United States. And that figure, by the way, which just warms my heart, is growing by 15 to 20 million every year. So, even with that many guns, you still don’t have enough guns. Okay? So, if someone ever wants to know, when do you have enough guns? America doesn’t have enough guns. We don’t have enough guns. There are never enough guns. Yeah, guns are just endlessly desired with good reason. Teddy Nappen 03:49 It actually kind of, you know, every time I hear them say, oh yeah, we could confiscate and, you know, round up all the firearms. They can’t even keep them out of jails. Evan Nappen 03:57 It’s such a joke. What a joke. Yeah, and, you know, the other thing that’s funny is, with 533 million privately-owned firearms in the United States, one of the things they don’t mention is that I think my wife believes that the vast majority of those guns are owned by me. But anyway, it is really a startling figure. I mean, I used to run with a number that was about 300 million. But that was old, old numbers. I mean, it is way up there. Apparently this was figured out based on data from the manufacturer, importation and exportation of firearms, and this is record, since World War II, talking about researchers that have put all this together. And it’s really, really interesting. Evan Nappen 05:01 The AmmoLand article, which I highly recommend you read, is called “Update: 533 Million Privately Owned Firearms in the United States”. It also talks about Gary Kleck, in his seminal work, which is “Point Blank Guns and Violence in America”. And, you know, this was one of the main other areas where there was a lot of research done that was very influential by Gary Kleck. And there’s really just, ultimately, the estimate, by the way, at the end of 2023 it was 513 million. So, we’re gaining quite a lot every year. And the estimate, by the way, was calculated by the National Shooting Sports Foundation, a very legitimate organization, and they based it on NICs data, National Instant Check data, reported by the FBI. And by the way, calculating on that, it adds another 16.5 million in 2024. So, 533 million guns in America, that is in private hands. That really is an amazing number, and we have strength in numbers. Those numbers are the embodiment of what the Second Amendment means. The right to keep and bear arms is the foundation to our firearm ownership. And it’s not surprising that

SPEAKERS Evan Nappen, Speaker 2, Teddy Nappen Evan Nappen 00:15 I’m Evan Nappen. Teddy Nappen 00:17 And I’m Teddy Nappen. Evan Nappen 00:19 And welcome to Gun Lawyer. President Trump is poised to deliver a first. He’s had many firsts, but this is looking really good legislatively in the Congress. The reconciliation bill, the big, beautiful bill that passed the House, has a very, very special provision for those folks that love and cherish our Second Amendment rights. What we have is a repeal, essentially, of the federal law prohibiting silencers. I’ll use the word prohibiting here, even though it’s technically possible to have a silencer. But basically, it’s looked at as a federal ban on silencers and that is essentially what’s being repealed. It was attached to the big, beautiful bill, which is a reconciliation bill, and the reason this is so important is that reconciliation is one of the few areas where there is no cloture, no filibuster possible in the Senate. So, the anti-Second Amendment rights, the gun rights suppressors and oppressors cannot get this bill killed using filibuster or cloture, where you need to have 60 votes in order to get it out of the Senate. It’s simple majorities in both houses. Evan Nappen 02:16 This bill is very exciting. This law on silencers goes back to the 1934 National Firearms Act, and here we are, all these years later, finally getting a repeal of that ridiculous law. The nomenclature, what we’re calling it, is the HPA, that’s the Hearing Protection Act. And this is really great news. By removing silencers out of the NFA, which we call suppressors today, we will be able to, throughout the country, except, of course, in New Jersey and a few other states, because they have state bans on silencers. But throughout Free America, the federal law will have been taken out by this Act, and suppressors will be able to be easily possessed in the same manner that you possess firearms in Free America. So, this is extremely exciting. Page – 1 – of 11Evan Nappen 03:29 Next move is to the Senate, and in the Senate, you will see the companion bill that should hopefully still continue to have the HPA in it, legalizing, for lack of a better word here, silencers. Also, we’re hopeful that we can see in the Senate the addition of the of the SHORT (Stop Harassing Owners of Rifles Today) Act, which is the law to legalize short barrel rifles, short barrel shotguns and any other weapons also within the NFA, the National Firearms Act. If we can get those removed as well, that will cut the National Firearms Act down to just covering machine guns and destructive devices. So, that’s very exciting. Every bit of progress is extremely welcome. And even just getting silencers removed is a huge step forward. As the rest of America freely acquires silencers so that they become in total common use that enhances our ability to knock out New Jersey’s law as unconstitutional, even in litigation. Evan Nappen 04:54 So, this is a great step forward, and the fun thing here is the politics of it in a way. We talked last week about how there was controversy with Silencer Central over it, but that has been overcome. Originally they were just lowering the tax, which was $200, to zero. Well, now it removes from NFA silencers and suppressors. And what’s interesting is in a reconciliation bill that is not subject to those, particularly Democrat tactics in the Senate, where they would kill a bill like this, it’s immune to that. Reconciliation bills have to be based on taxation. They have to be taxation related to what gets passed. And here’s where the irony is, sweet, sweet irony. And that is because the National Firearms Act, when it was passed in the ’30s, was not based on interstate commerce. It was based on the power of taxation. That’s why ATF was through Treasury, because they were handling taxation, and they essentially passed anti- Second Amendment gun laws using the power of taxation. That’s why there was a $200 tax, and the procedure you had to go through to pay the tax. Evan Nappen 06:21 Remember back in the ’30s, a $200 tax was exorbitant. Very few people could afford $200 as just the tax, no less. So, over time, in terms of money and inflation, $200 was not the exorbitant sum that it was in the ’30s, but you still had the gun control foundation. The Federal power of it is taxation. Well, here we go with reconciliation, where they can address issues of taxation. So, now we get to turn the tables on them

SPEAKERS Teddy Nappen, Evan Nappen, Speaker 2 Evan Nappen 00:14 I’m Evan Nappen. Teddy Nappen 00:16 And I’m Teddy Nappen. Evan Nappen 00:18 And welcome to Gun Lawyer. One of the things I’ve observed over, oh, almost 40 years of fighting for gun rights and fighting for law-abiding citizens to save their rights and being an activist and a student of gun laws, generally, and gun rights suppression is there are times when business interests of what we might normally think of as folks that would be pro-our gun rights. Sometimes, financial incentives can get in the way of that, and it can cause issues that create laws or keep laws that you would like to otherwise to get rid of when financial interests have kind of evolved from the laws themselves. Now, on one hand, I might even say, hey, I practice gun law. What if all the gun laws went away? What would you do? Do I want to have gun laws? And I’m like, no, I don’t. I’m like a cancer doctor. I’m not pro- cancer, and we have to fight the cancer that exists. But if all the gun laws went away, I’d be very happy, and I’d find something else to do. You know, something else that is a passion and an interest. Evan Nappen 01:59 Now, they’re not all going away, but I don’t have an actual interest in seeing more gun laws. I want to see less gun laws. I want to see our rights. I believe in this with my heart and soul. But, you know, some businesses and all that have really heavy financial interests in certain laws sometimes that can not necessarily be the case. So, there’s an interesting story that I picked up in AmmoLand, which was by John Crump. (https://www.ammoland.com/2025/05/silencer-centrals-suppressor-lobbying-sparks- controversy-over-nfa-deregulation-stance/) It talks about a controversy that we’re dealing with right now that kind of points out this issue. Now I’m not sure whether the business interest here is absolutely impacting our rights, but there’s a controversy where there’s a claim, arguably, that it is. Evan Nappen 03:00 Let me tell you what’s going on. So, we have federally pending right now in the big, beautiful bill by President Trump, what is part of what they call “reconciliation”, where we can get things done that’s Page – 1 – of 13very important to get done. Because with reconciliation, there’s no cloture. There’s no ability to have the so-called filibuster rule, where we’ve got to get 60 votes in the Senate. It can pass with simple majorities, and currently, the Republicans have those majorities, at least in theory, in both houses. Otherwise, you can rest assured that the gun rights oppressors that are the Democrats will try to stop anything that tries to get rid of oppressive gun laws. So, reconciliation is politically important. Evan Nappen 03:58 One of the issues that is circulating at the moment is modifying and changing the NFA, the National Firearms Act, to take silencers out of the National Firearms Act. To take short barrel rifles, short barrel shotguns and such out of it. And given the abuses, particularly that came with pistol brace reinterpretations and, you know, short barrel shotguns is such a phony baloney issue when we have shock waves and the like out there that the average person cannot even tell the difference. They’re not exorbitantly, in any way, in any other way, causing more problems than any other gun. I mean, it’s just ridiculous the way they focus on objects. Anything they can ban; they want to keep banned. Evan Nappen 04:50 So, here we have this potential opportunity, particularly when it comes to silencers. Because there’s been a huge movement throughout the United States to take silencers out of NFA and to put silencers where they belong as simply a firearm accessory. We have the SHORT (Stop Harassing Owners of Rifles Today) Act and the Hearing Protection Act (HPA), so that we can have silencers to protect our hearing, and silencers are really excellent for this. Because you can shoot at the range and not have to have hearing protection on. You can hunt with silencers. There are so many states that have legalized silencer hunting. You can listen for game carefully, listen for other hunters, even, and it’s much safer. You don’t blow your ears out when you shoot. So, we’re saving our hearing and making so it’s easier to hear range commands and safety at the range. There are so many advantages. Evan Nappen 05:53 The way the media has traditionally portray

Episode 237- Gun Violence Propaganda Memorial Removed Also Available OnSearchable Podcast TranscriptGun Lawyer– Episode 237 SUMMARY KEYWORDS Gun rights, gun violence, gun safety, ATF, Biden administration, Trump administration, propaganda, criminal violence, firing squad, execution, New Jersey gun law, gun control, dental health, reciprocity, carry permit. SPEAKERS Speaker 2, Teddy Nappen, Evan Nappen Evan Nappen 00:15 I’m Evan Nappen. Teddy Nappen 00:17 And I’m Teddy Nappen. Evan Nappen 00:19 And welcome to Gun Lawyer. So, the gun rights suppressionists, those that want to suppress our rights. You know, they have created propaganda terms that they put out there that the media readily utilizes. Not just the media, but also even the weaponized government agencies that were particularly weaponized under Joe Biden. One of their favorites, they have two favorite terms they love to use. One is “gun violence”. The other is “gun safety”. And they’ve hijacked gun safety to have nothing to do with safety. Evan Nappen 01:04 So, when the anti-rights folks are out there talking about “gun violence”, what they really should be saying is criminal violence, or gun criminal violence, meaning criminal wrongdoing with guns. Violence that’s performed by criminals, but they don’t. They simply call it “gun violence” and then pass laws that infringe and suppress our gun rights, saying we have to do something about gun violence. And their solution, somehow, always includes disarming and taking away rights and then has no effect on actual criminals. So, what we see here is that there was a so-called gun violence memorial at the ATF headquarters. And, you know, under President Trump, ATF is being heavily defunded. They are taking away almost half a billion in their funding. Under Biden, of course, it was weaponized to be an even greater agency to suppress gun rights. Evan Nappen 01:04 When they talk about “gun violence”, they try to categorize whatever laws they’re trying to pass as either trying to address gun violence or it’s a gun safety law. And of course, it’s just gun laws that suppress our gun rights that they put under these banners. So, when they talk about “gun violence”, it’s not gun violence that is a problem. I’m actually, in many cases, very much pro-gun violence. Particularly when you want to use violence from a gun to save your life. Okay? So, if I’m justified in using deadly Page – 1 – of 10 force and I use my gun violently, that’s important. I’m using it for a lawful purpose. Gun violence is actually neutral, arguably. It can be good, or it can be bad. Evan Nappen 03:23 And apparently, what ATF had was a Gun Violence Memorial. And what the Gun Violence Memorial that the Trump administration has officially removed this propaganda Memorial, and what it consisted of was 120 portraits that were hung during the Biden administration, of course. The most anti-gun rights president we’ve ever had, and the portraits were there to “honor” the memory of all victims of violent crime while at the same time preserving the rights of law-abiding Americans. (https://bearingarms.com/tomknighton/2025/05/05/gun-violence-memorial-at-atf-headquarters- removed-n1228510) But it was not. It was a propaganda display by ATF. Steven Dettelbach, the former director of ATF, who was appointed by Joe Biden, a dedicated anti-gun rights individual, created this memorial at the agency’s Northeast Washington headquarters last April to remind employees of the human toll of gun violence. The display included photos of police officers killed by gunfire and children slain in mass shootings, so-called mass shootings, in Newtown and in Parkland and other victims. Evan Nappen 04:58 Of course, it really is not about the human toll of gun violence. It’s a human toll by criminals, criminals. But that’s not the purpose of this memorial. It’s to say guns are bad. Guns kill, and we have to ban guns, guns, guns, and that takes away our rights, instead of focusing on the wrongdoers. And this is now gone. It’s been taken down, and that is great, because we’re seeing all these propaganda efforts and other actions that were maximized to suppress our rights under Biden being dismantled by President Trump. It is great to see this. And really, the ATF, if it continues to exist at all, needs to focus its efforts on criminals. Teddy Nappen 06:07 If I recall, didn’t the UN do a similar statue where it was. Evan Nappen 06:12 Oh, well, the UN, is completely full of gun rights oppressors. Teddy Nappen 06:21 Like guns they had seized, and they melted them down. It looked like a revolver. Evan Nappen 06:25 Right. With a twisted barrel and all. And that’s so they can keep the populations around the world disarmed, so that vicious dictators and others, comm

SPEAKERS Evan Nappen, Speaker 2, Teddy Nappen EvanNappen 00:15 I’m Evan Nappen. EvanNappen 00:17 And welcome to Gun Lawyer. So, the desperate Democrats, who can’t seem to find an issue to rally around, and they constantly are taking the 80/20. They always take the 20 when they’re going after their political stands, and they’re in major disarray. So, the last desperate move that you always see politically is to go for gun control. That’s what they’ll call it. Gun control. But they don’t call it that. That’s actually an old term. Now they like to call it “gun safety legislation”, or some other garbage. Teddy Nappen 00:17 And I’m Teddy Nappen. Teddy Nappen 01:07 “Gun violence prevention.” EvanNappen 01:09 Gun violence prevention. Right. Perfect. So, their new assault weapon ban, that’s what they’re calling it. The “Assault Weapons Ban of 2025” has been filed. (No bill number has been assigned.) (https://www.schiff.senate.gov/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/OLL25450.pdf) And this is their new rallying call. Now, of course, the odds of this passing are very, very slim. However, it doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be vigilant. We must be vigilant. You must be aware of what they’re planning to do. It shows you how much they want to oppress our Second Amendment rights. This bill is an atrocity, and hopefully, it will never, ever become law. But obviously this is their political move. And of course, they’re having issues over there at the DNC. The appointment of David Hogg, which we’ve talked about before. You know, whose entire claim to fame. Teddy Nappen 02:17 James Carville and him just had a sparring. It was pretty funny. EvanNappen 02:20 Page – 1 – of 12 Exactly. And so they want to get rid of Hogg over his politics of trying to primary in the Democrat Party, picking and choosing those he wants to primary. So, they want to kick him out. Of course, they want cover that they’re not abandoning their Second Amendment oppression. They’re not abandoning that. They just don’t like David Hogg, but then again, who does? But this is all part of the plan. But when you see this bill, which I want to tell you about its elements, it lays out just how far they’re willing to go federally, and this will affect New Jersey gun owners. Because although you may say, hey, New Jersey has an assault firearm ban, guns that are legal in New Jersey will become banned under this federal bill. I’m going to explain to you why, and some of the other little fun things that are in this piece of garbage. EvanNappen 03:30 Let’s jump right into it. So, the bill that has the names of Senator (Adam) Schiff, Mr. Murphy, not Governor Murphy, but Senator (Chris) Murphy, Senator (Richard) Blumenthal and Senator (Alex) Padilla. They’re the four oppressionists that have filed this bill. And what it says is this. It is going after, of course, semi-automatic shotguns, semi-automatic rifles, semi-automatic pistols and more. So, when it comes to a semi-automatic rifle, first, they’re setting out a general criteria ban, where it’s going to go by feature. But they also have a list we’re going to talk about. So, they’re combining all kinds of bans to make it very difficult to understand. But we’ll try here to do our best. EvanNappen 04:33 Now, the semi-automatic rifles that are banned, if it has a capacity to accept a detachable ammunition feeding device. Basically, a magazine. Has any one of the following features, not two. Remember, even New Jersey allows you to have one, but you can’t have more than one. The federal bill eliminates even having one of the following, ready? A pistol grip, a forward grip, a folding, telescoping or detachable stock,. Detachable stock, they’re now adding. Do you believe that? I mean, I can detach just about any stock if you have a screwdriver. What? Are you kidding me? Or a stock that is otherwise foldable or adjustable in a manner that operates to reduce the length, size, or any other dimension. So, if you have a gun that you adjust for smaller folks or larger folks, and it’s adjustable, or a target gun that adjusts, oh, well, too bad. That’s banned, too. Or otherwise enhances concealability. So, anything that makes the stock smaller. Teddy Nappen 05:49 I was just going to say, what if you wanted to add a pad to the stock? Wouldn’t that be shortening or lengthening? EvanNap

Teddy Nappen 00:16 and I’m Teddy Nappen. Evan Nappen 00:17 and welcome to Gun Lawyer. So, I’d like to tell all of you about what is known as the digital Second Amendment. Now, this is a new law that I think is going to become a very popular law that other states are going to pass. This was just passed by the state of Montana that, of course, enormously respects the Second Amendment and our civil rights under the Second Amendment. And it’s not just a Second Amendment, but it’s actually a First Amendment case that directly impacts the Second Amendment and is the opposite of what we are experiencing in the gun rights oppression state of New Jersey. Evan Nappen 01:07 So, I learned of this from AmmoLand. (https://www.ammoland.com/2025/04/montana-just-gave-gun- owners-a-digital-second-amendment/) AmmoLand is a great news feed, news aggregate, a great site. If you don’t get AmmoLand, you should. It’s great. The editor in chief, who’s friend of mine, Freddie, is really great guy. He put this article out about Montana, and I think it is really something that we’re going to see more of and hopefully will see more of in the future. Now, I’m not saying that New Jersey could get this passed, but many other states will, and maybe even a federal law. These laws start out in the States, and then we can get a federal law that can maybe do it. Evan Nappen 01:46 What Montana has passed, it’s very cool, is known as the Montana Right to Compute Act (MRTCA). The right to compute. So, what they’re doing is making access to computer tools, in effect, part of our Constitutional liberty. And this is really great. It is a complete flip of the script for what the gun rights oppressionists have done in terms of limiting our ability to access digital information regarding firearms. Murphy and company, the Democrats, and the other gun rights suppressors, have passed laws in New Jersey restricting your right to compute. We’ve seen the restriction on the right to compute, going at code, going at things in the cloud, 3D printers, et cetera, and they’re trying to destroy and stop and choke out tools and files and knowledge. That’s right. It’s all about knowledge. It’s about knowledge. Evan Nappen 03:03 For example, as the editor points out in the article, DA Alvin Bragg pressured to have 3D printer companies install firmware to block printing gun parts and censor cloud-based CAD files. The ATF and DOJ have held closed-door meetings urging tech developers to implement software blocks, cloud file Page – 1 – of 14scans, and AI-based detection of “gun shaped” files. A federal judge in New Jersey ruled CAD files are “functional”, not expressive. Meaning, in New Jersey, the judge found that they don’t qualify as free speech. Outrageous. Of course, that’s what gun rights suppression is all about. And DHS admits to monitoring 3D printer purchases by Americans with the help of Amazon, eBay and PayPal. All this is in the article. Evan Nappen 04:04 So, what did Montana do? What Montana did is pass this Act that is something that other free states, other states, and all states, frankly, should consider. Under this Act, it’s really interesting. What it does is it forces any restriction on a citizen’s ability to use or share digital tools, it must pass strict scrutiny, the highest level of a test of a law. That’s the same rigorous tests that’s used to defend our core Constitutional rights like freedom of speech, freedom of religion and, of course, supposedly, the right to keep and bear arms as well. But this law will mandate it, and here’s what it does. Evan Nappen 04:56 It means that if any Government entity, state or city, in Montana tries to ban CAD files, restrict 3D printing of firearm components, force firmware changes on printers, or censor gun-related codes or forms, the Government will have the burden to prove that it’s absolutely necessary, narrowly tailored in pursuit of a compelling state interest. In short, that is an incredibly tall burden for the state to meet, and by doing that, it will greatly restrict the gun rights oppressors from repressing our First Amendment rights, our right to information, our right to compute. So, I want to give kudos to Montana for breaking ground here and being the first state to pass such a law, going the opposite direction of the gun rights oppressors in protecting our digital Second Amendment rights, and they’ve done it without naming guns. They’ve just laid the foundation for protecting hobbyists who use 3D printers to legally build guns, shielding code-sharing platforms from activist prosecutors and preventing t

SPEAKERS Evan Nappen, Speaker 2, Teddy Nappen Evan Nappen 00:16 I’m Evan Nappen. Teddy Nappen 00:18 And I’m Teddy Nappen. Evan Nappen 00:20 And welcome to Gun Lawyer. Well, the New Jersey Attorney General just published a news release that is entitled Florida man. Forida Man. “Florida Man Indicted on Weapons Offenses After Bringing Firearms, Including a Booby-Trapped Semi-Automatic Rifle, on Amtrak Train”. (https://www.njoag.gov/florida-man-indicted-on-weapons-offenses-after-bringing-firearms-including-a- booby-trapped-semi-automatic-rifle-on-amtrak-train/) Evan Nappen 00:50 So, let’s take a look at what happened here and find out what a booby-trapped, semi-automatic rifle is. Now, the news release says that this was, it came out April 16, 2025, that the Attorney General announced today that a Florida man has been indicted for aggravated assault, endangering others, and a multitude of weapons offenses, including possession of dreaded assault firearms. He didn’t say dreaded, but he did say assault firearms. Excuse me, he said assault weapons, which, by the way, is not what’s prohibited in New Jersey. It’s assault firearms. But why should the Attorney General know that? His news release called them assault weapons. Large capacity ammunition magazines. Handguns. Silencers. And a booby-trapped rifle that fired during his arrest at the Trenton Transit Center. Evan Nappen 01:55 The news release goes on to say that Jeffrey O. Kennerk, 34, of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, is charged by indictment with possession of a weapon for unlawful purpose. Four counts of unlawful possession of a weapon; three counts of unlawful possession of an assault firearm; one count of aggravated assault; one count of certain persons not to have weapons. All second degree crimes. So, just looking at those certain persons not to have weapons, that is persons who are somehow they claim prohibited from having guns. Could be a felon. Could be someone with a domestic violence restraining order or Page – 1 – of 14domestic violence misdemeanor. Could be somebody even with an involuntary mental health commitment. It could be any number of otherwise prohibited persons. It doesn’t explain what makes this person, allegedly, a certain person. Second degree crimes in New Jersey. They carry up to 10 years in State Prison. Most of these offenses are Graves Act offenses that carry a minimum mandatory three and a half years with no chance of parole, and the judge must impose that sentence as a minimum mandatory component of the sentence. Certain persons not to possess, if it is a firearm, as opposed to just weapons. That’s a five year minimum mandatory. Evan Nappen 03:27 Now this person, it says further, is also charged with two counts of unlawful possession of a large capacity magazine; one count each for unlawful possession of hollow nose ammunition; unlawful possession of a silencer; endangering another person; and causing or risking widespread injury or damage. All fourth degree crimes. Fourth degree crimes carry, by the way, up to a year and a half in State Prison. It goes on to say that the defendant allegedly hauled a small arsenal of deadly weapons and ammunition through busy transit stations and on a train filled with passengers. He allegedly left a suitcase containing assorted weapons and ammunition, including an assault rifle. Again, assault rifle is not a term found in New Jersey gun law. In the concourse of Newark Penn Station, where anyone could have been harmed by them. Anyone could have been harmed by them, if not for the outstanding police work done in this matter. We can only imagine where this defendant and these weapons would have ended up. They probably would have ended up at his destination, which appears to have been Florida, but they don’t mention that.

SPEAKERS Speaker 3, Teddy Nappen, Evan Nappen Evan Nappen 00:15 I’m Evan Nappen Teddy Nappen 00:16 And I’m Teddy Nappen. Evan Nappen 00:18 And welcome to Gun Lawyer. So, New Jersey is at it again, and this time it’s a doozy. This is the beginning of their de facto registration plans to gather information and find out who has purchased any magazines, of any type, magazines of any type, and any gun related product of any type. Wait till you hear about this one. The Attorney General (Matthew J. ) Platkin has just recently put out a news release, folks, where they announced a consent order resolving a suit against a gun store in New Jersey for “unlawful sales to unverified buyers”. (https://www.njoag.gov/ag-platkin-announces-consent- order-resolving-suit-against-gun-store-for-unlawful-sales-to-unverified-buyers/) That’s the heading of the news release. Evan Nappen 01:22 Apparently what happened was there was a complaint filed by the Attorney General’s Office, this is right from their news release, in November of 2024. It was filed under their so-called SAFE, the Statewide Affirmative Firearms Enforcement Office, against Point Blank, located in East Hanover, which is a gun shop in East Hanover. The Attorney General claimed that they sold a handgun ammunition magazine, and two months later, 1,000 rounds of .223 ammo to a first time customer. They made sales in cash and did not ask to see any type of identification, permit or credential of the purchaser, or otherwise take steps to exclude sales to prohibited firearm possessors. Evan Nappen 02:26 “I will not tolerate lax and unlawful practices by firearms businesses — the very kind that can lead to a deadly mass shooting,” said Attorney General Platkin. “Our Legislature and Governor put these laws into place to keep us safe and they must be followed. We are glad that Point Blank has agreed to follow the law going forward.” Further, Ravi Ramanathan, Director of SAFE, says, “Gun stores must take Page – 1 – of 9 reasonable steps to make sure that they only sell ammunition”, and get this, “and other gun-related products to people who can lawfully possess a firearm. I appreciate that Point Blank has accepted responsibility and has agreed to change its practices going forward.” Evan Nappen 03:24 Well, gee, what exactly did they agree to and what’s going on? Well, I’ll tell you what, folks. In this same news release, which there will be a link on the website for you to read, you can also read the actual consent order that was posted online by the Attorney General as well. This order was filed (March 13, 2025), and let’s review it, because, my friends, the devil is in the detail. The picture being painted here is pretty scary. Let me tell you why and show you why. Evan Nappen 03:58 In this final judgment, the way it begins, it says, “Findings of Fact”. Under these facts, one of the key facts, “On March 20, 2024, Point Blank sold a Glock Model 22 .40 caliber 10-round pistol magazine to a first-time customer who did not present any identification or credential prior to making the purchase (the “March Sale”).” Now, prior to any of this, there was never a law that required a purchase permit or any type of identification on the sale of a magazine. But wait until you see what they’ve done with this new law that passed. And, of course, none of this was really emphasized as to what their actual sneaky plan was, but it’s revealed now. They also said they sold a case of 1,000 rounds of .223 to a first-time customer who did not present any identification or credentials. Evan Nappen 05:17 The consent order goes on to say the Conclusions of Law. Now, this is from the actual filed court document. It says, under N.J.S. 2C:58-35(a)(2), listen carefully to this, “A gun industry member shall establish, implement, and enforce reasonable controls regarding its . . . sale of gun-related products.” Do you see how broad that is? Gun-related products. What are reasonable controls? Well, they first make it clear that Point Blank is a gun industry member, and then they quote the definition of what is encompassed by a “gun-related product”. It means, and this is pursuant to the statute signed into law by Murphy, N.J.S. 2C:58-34, ready? Any firearm, ammunition, ammunition magazine, firearm component or part including, but not limited to, a firearm frame and a firearm receiver, or firea

SPEAKERS Speaker 2, Teddy Nappen, Evan Nappen Evan Nappen 00:15 I’m Evan Nappen. Teddy Nappen 00:17 And I’m Teddy Nappen. Evan Nappen 00:19 And welcome to Gun Lawyer. So, one of the questions that has come my way, that I think is interesting and the analysis will be of interest as well, is this. Is the Roto 12 “Chain Saw” Shotgun legal in New Jersey? (https://americanguncraft.com/product/roto-12-cs-chain-saw-shotgun-no-ffl-required-copy/) Now, you may be saying, what the hell is a Roto 12? Well, the Roto 12 is interesting as a firearm. It’s made by American Gun Craft. Now, American Gun Craft makes black powder firearms, and for the longest time, they made a black powder, double barrel, shotgun pistol. It’s literally a 12-gauge pistol that is a double barrel, short double barrel, 12 gauge pistol. However, it fires black powder ammunition. So, you would muzzle load it with black powder, muzzle load a 12 gauge slug or buckshot. And yeah, it operates at a 12 gauge level. But it is, in fact, a black powder handgun. Evan Nappen 01:37 And so, one of the questions is, is that American Gun Craft, what they call their Diablo. It’s one of the models there. Is that double barrel handgun pistol Jersey legal? And then what happened was, they’ve come out with this brand new Roto 12, and the Roto 12 is a very compact pistol version. And then another version, the “Chain Saw”. If you ever saw the Mossberg (590) Chainsaw where they put the grab handle on top of the firearm that just has a pistol grip with a shotgun barrel. (https://www.mossberg.com/590-chainsaw-50692.html) Well, they have that configuration for the Roto 12. And the Roto 12 is very innovative. It is an eight shot revolving cylinder in which you can load the cylinder with the load. So, you’ve got eight shots, and then you can fire eight 12 gauge shots out of this rotating barrel. Black powder, 12 gauge, very modern shotgun. And this Roto 12, by the way, accepts a standard AR-15 grip and AR-15 style stock with a buffer tube. Even though the gun itself doesn’t use a buffer tube, you can stock it. Page – 1 – of 13 Evan Nappen 03:18 Of course, all these legal questions start surrounding the Roto 12, and I’m going to address them, because the analysis will help you to better understand just how crazy our gun laws are. So, of course, we have two jurisdictions that would be at play – federal law and state law. Now the company sells this firearm all over the country, and they claim no FFL is required. And why is that? Well, that’s because it is a black powder firearm, and under federal law, as a black powder firearm, it is not within the scope of the modern FFL firearm requirements. So, it’s not a gun that would be put into a dealer’s books and disposed of accordingly and handled the way it would a regular cartridge-firing shotgun using a modern cartridge in modern power. Evan Nappen 04:28 So, what this does is create the closest thing you can to this 12 gauge, eight shot, cylinder-fed shotgun, pistol-size firearm, and they can sell it with no FFL throughout America. Federal law doesn’t have an issue with this, because black powder firearms are not covered under the federal gun laws. They are excluded. However, in New Jersey, they are not. In New Jersey, a black powder firearm is treated exactly the same as a modern cartridge firing firearm. So, the fact that it uses black powder, is a muzzle loading into the cylinder, the way the old 1860 Army Revolvers loaded or the 1851 Navy pistol revolvers loaded. You know, you load this cylinder, and you can fire multiple shots. It’s that but in 12 gauge. That is still considered a firearm in New Jersey, and the double barrel handgun pistol would normally be looked at as the equivalent of a modern handgun in New Jersey. Evan Nappen 06:02 But the problem with both of these is that they are 12 gauge, and because they’re 12 gauge, they actually would come under the category of “destructive device” (DD). New Jersey defines a “destructive device” as any device, instrument, or object designed to explode or produce uncontrolled combustion, including, and then it says, any weapon capable of firing projectiles of a caliber greater than 60 caliber. (N.J.S. 2C:39-1c.) Twelve gauge is up past 70 caliber. It’s a problem. Then it says, except a shotgun, where shotgun ammunition generally recognizes suitable for sporting purposes. Well, what you have here is not going to be a shotgun generally reco

Teddy has a lot to report. We have a really big show for you today. Let’s start with New Jersey’s continuous oppression of our Second Amendment rights. Teddy Nappen 00:35 You would think that Murphy would get tired? Evan Nappen 00:37 Yeah, no. He’s never gets tired of socking it to gun owners, and this is bad. Teddy Nappen 00:43 Of course. Evan Nappen 00:43 You have to know about it, and you need to take steps to fight it. And one of the things you can do to fight it is make sure you belong to the Association of New Jersey Rifle & Pistol Clubs. They’ve been sending out the updates and the emails that have the automatic ways that you can let your voice be heard. It’s really important. Go to a n j r p c.org, and join today as a member. They are the folks that have a full-time paid lobbyist right in Trenton. They are alerting the troops. You want to belong and be one of the troops. We need you. You need to make sure you’re a member of the Association of New Jersey Rifle & Pistol Clubs. Page – 1 – of 16 Evan Nappen 01:27 We’re looking at an array of anti-gun bills that have now passed the Assembly and are heading to the Senate to be signed by Murphy. These are BAD bills. They’re really bad, and it’s going to impact severely. Teddy Nappen 01:50 Would you say they’re Florio level bad or Murphy level bad? Evan Nappen 01:55 They are just oppressive in new and creative ways. And it’s hard to say which one of those governors was worse. They both sucked when it comes to gun rights. And let me tell you about these bills. Number one, we have A4975. (https://www.njleg.state.nj.us/bill-search/2024/A4975/bill- text?f=A5000&n=4975_R1) Now this bill creates a crime, which is, of course, a felony level offense in New Jersey for possession of digital instructions to illegally manufacture firearms or components. All right? And what it does is it makes it a crime, even if you never make a gun, simply having the digital file on your computer is enough for you to be charged. Basically, they’re treating data and information about guns the way they treat child pornography. I can assure you that, with this bill, they will set up traps for individuals to unknowingly download this information and then track you and prosecute and raid you and take your guns and take your gun rights. Here we go again with this nonsense. Evan Nappen 03:17 Then we have A4976. (https://www.njleg.state.nj.us/bill-search/2024/A4976) This bill is particularly horrendous and problematic. It actually creates a danger to public health, safety and welfare. It actually makes it more dangerous. This is a gun bill that they are putting forward going at the “reckless discharge of firearms”. What it does is it makes it a crime if you accidentally fire your gun. And it is really bad. Let me show you why this bill creates a danger. What the bill first does in terms of oppression is it makes discharge in a structure, which means any building, room, ship, vessel, car, vehicle or airplane or any place adapted for overnight accommodation of persons or for carrying on a business. Evan Nappen 04:29 Now, a person commits a disorderly person’s offense, but don’t be fooled by this. This is sneaky garbage. Sneaky, gun rights oppression. Because, first of all, making it an offense at all is bad. A disorderly person’s offense carries up to six months in the county jail. It is not a felony at a disorderly person’s level. However, hang on, folks, because I’m not done. It then says, if you have a firearm go off with live ammunition, unlawfully or without lawful purpose. Unlawfully or without unlawful purpose. The so-called “reckless discharge” that occurs unlawfully or without lawful purpose. And if you get a second conviction, it’s a crime of the fourth degree, which carries up to a year and a half in State Prison. And if you get a subsequent or third conviction, that’s a crime of the third degree. That is up to five years in State Prison. Evan Nappen 05:48 However, here’s the sneaky BS that they added to the bill. It says, a person who commits a violation of this, that I just talked about, all right? If you violate that section, shall be charged with a crime one Page – 2 – of 16 degree h

SPEAKERS Teddy Nappen, Evan Nappen, Speaker 2 EvanNappen 00:15 I’m Evan Nappen. Teddy Nappen 00:17 And I’m Teddy Nappen. EvanNappen 00:19 and welcome to Gun Lawyer. So, President Trump has delivered, and it is part of the promises made. He just started the ball and actually went ahead with something that I’ve been waiting 33 years to see happen in the world of gun law. And what Trump has done through his administration is brilliant. I’m going to explain to you how brilliant this is. He has got back and running the Federal Relief from Disabilities Program. This is fantastic news, my friends. You see, federal law, as I’m sure most of you know, bars felons from having guns. It is a firearm disqualifier. Federal law has barred convicted felons from having guns. Yet, in the federal law, in that Title 18, there is a provision where individuals who had felony convictions could get relief from that disability by filing an application with the ATF, who then processes it. If they granted it, you were granted relief from the disqualifying, and your gun rights would be restored, as far as the federal government was concerned. EvanNappen 02:06 Now, recently, as we talked about on a show, this was brought to light, if you remember, with Mel Gibson, who wanted his gun rights restored. There are plenty of other folks who want them restored, too, and it brought the issue to light. And as you may recall, I was commenting and I said, look, you know, they’re trying to work it through the Attorney General’s office, but this hasn’t been funded since 1992 due to (Senator) Charles Schumer. And I said, they really need to fix the Relief from Disabilities Program and make it available again. And, of course, you have the institutionalized racism issue of the disproportionate number of felons who are minorities. This law would provide the avenue for people who are good people, who had, you know, made their mistake way back, paid the price, paid the debt to society, as they like to say, and now want to regain their Constitutional rights. But had no opportunity to do so. This was particularly evil because you were preventing people from not only being able to protect themselves and then use the most effective means of self-defense, a firearm. But it also denied Page – 1 – of 12 jobs, good jobs, at a disproportionate ratio. Jobs such as law enforcement work, military, security. All these things where a firearm is part of the job. EvanNappen 03:41 So, this has now changed, and it is so exciting. Because what President Trump did was figure out, in a chess game here, how to overcome this. So, what President Trump did is just great and brilliant. Let me give you a little bit of the history of how this has been a problem and the brilliance about how Trump and his administration have now changed it. You see the Relief from Disabilities Program was good, and it was able to help people. Just like in New Jersey, there’s a thing called expungement. There’s no such thing, though, as a federal expungement. The only way you could get your gun rights back under the federal law, especially if you had a federal conviction or a federal disqualifier, was by way of the Relief from Disabilities law. I used to do these for folks. Prior to 1992, we would do these Relief from Disabilities and help folks regain their rights. EvanNappen 04:50 Then along comes Josh Sugarman promoting his book NRA: Money, Firepower and Fear. (National Rifle Association: Money, Firepower & Fear) Basically as his promotion of the book, he went and hammered on the Relief from Disabilities, saying, NRA wants felons to have guns. You can’t have all these felons having guns, you see. And, of course, that was just their anti-gun propaganda move to oppress Second Amendment rights. We’re talking about people who have been fully rehabilitated, who have not had any other problems, who are not a danger or a threat, who are now good, productive citizens that want their damn rights back. But you know, the politics took over and (Senator) Charles Schumer and company. Teddy Nappen 05:41 If I recall, didn’t you actually meet Sugarman, too? EvanNappen 05:43 Oh yeah, I’ll tell you that. But, yeah, but, yeah. But what happened was. So, what (Senator) Schumer did was he put forward, in an appropriations bill, you know, that fund the government, that that section of the law, that the ATF could no longer use the funds to process these (Relief from Disabilities) applications. That’s how they did it. They stopped the ATF from using on

SPEAKERS Speaker 2, Teddy Nappen, Evan Nappen Evan Nappen 00:15 I’m Evan Nappen Teddy Nappen 00:17 And I’m Teddy Nappen. Evan Nappen 00:19 and welcome to Gun Lawyer. So, I don’t know if you’re following this, but I am following this quite intently. It always gets interesting when a celebrity is directly involved in a very important gun rights issue, and not out of advocacy, but rather because they are the victim of gun laws. And in this case, I’m talking about Evan Nappen 00:54 Nope, nope. Not Alec Baldwin because, you know, his issues were just related to being unsafe and being a giant GOFU. I’m talking about Mel Gibson. You see Mel Gibson apparently had lost his gun rights. He lost his gun rights because of a domestic violence misdemeanor. That’s right, the old Lautenberg ban, that’s both federal for the whole country and the State of New Jersey. Anyone who has a domestic violence misdemeanor becomes a prohibited person. So, if you have harassment or assault or any of these things, and the alleged victim meets the definition under domestic violence, such as being a current or former spouse or someone you had a dating relationship with or former or present household member, or someone you have a child in common with, things like that. Then that misdemeanor suddenly, magically, becomes a prohibitor, taking away your gun rights. So, if you’ve harassed or assaulted someone who qualifies as a domestic violence victim, then you lose your gun rights. Whereas if you go around assaulting complete strangers, you’re fine. The law makes just a lot of sense, doesn’t it? Teddy Nappen 00:54 Alec Baldwin? Page – 1 – of 14 Evan Nappen 02:37 So, anyway, Mel apparently has this Federal disqualifier, and there was or is a program that is being pursued. Apparently, his misdemeanor conviction goes back to 2011. There was an Attorney General whose name was Oyer, who was placed in what’s called a “working group”. She was given the responsibility to come up with a list of individuals who should have their rights restored. Now, this rights restoration would be done essentially by the President using his power of pardon. There’s a lot of criticism that she and this group didn’t recommend or pursue Gibson to get his rights back. And of course, they love to raise the political correctness of domestic abuse and the issues all about that. It’s been something here that is a problem for Mel, and this apparently is one of the solutions being sought in his particular case. Evan Nappen 02:39 Now, the problem is that, you know, it’s one thing to be Mel Gibson or various other individuals that might be more high profile or influential to the President and trying to get your gun rights restored in the same way you’d want to get a pardon. And you know, the whole fight here centers as well on, oh, you’re being dismissed and blaming this issue, but it highlights the taking away of Second Amendment rights for what is a misdemeanor. The bottom line is a misdemeanor is a misdemeanor, whether it’s domestic violence or not. Historically, only violent felons were prohibited persons, and then it was expanded to just about any felon under federal law if the felony offense meets the definition of a disqualifying felony. Evan Nappen 05:16 When you read the 4473 it asks, have you ever been convicted of a crime, the penalty of which exceeds one year? Federal law defines that as actually being convicted of an offense that is, if it’s a misdemeanor, not domestic violence, but a misdemeanor, that carries over two years jail, over two years, even though the question is, do you suffer it over one year? You know, up to one year, one year. But it has to actually be over two. But not for DV. If it’s domestic violence, then even a town ordinance that has the elements for domestic violence can become a federal disqualifier for that person. So, this disqualifier and the relief sought became an issue. Evan Nappen 06:11 But what’s really interesting here is the kind of changing times that we’re in. Believe it or not, the Washington Post just ran a piece on restoring gun rights and this Teddy Nappen 06:38 I’m surprised you found something in the Washington compost. Evan Nappen 06:41 I know. This was brought to my attention. As a matter of fact, it came to my attention from an article by Cam Edwards, out of Bearing Arms, which is a great gun rights news site.

So, (New Jersey Governor) Phil Murphy has a BOHICA (bend over, here it comes again) for gun owners in New Jersey. Yes, that’s right. He is pushing to increase fees across the board for gun permits and firearms and ammo sales. And what they’re proposing is possibly some of the most extreme fee increases that we’ve ever seen anywhere. (https://bearingarms.com/tomknighton/2025/03/04/new-jersey-looking-to-tax-the-snot-out-of-peoples- 2a-rights-n1227859) Teddy Nappen 00:54 Gotta pay for all the illegals, right? Evan Nappen 00:57 Something like that. Murphy’s budget, which he put out toward the end of February, is looking for, first of all, a 2.5% excise tax on all firearms sales and a 10% tax on ammunition purchases. And of course, that’s in addition to the Sales Tax that you already pay on ammunition and firearms. Additionally, he’s proposing to raise the Firearms ID Card fee, which is currently $5, to $100. Keep in mind that FIDs are no longer valid for life. Every 10 years, you’re going to have to renew it, unless you have one of the old cards, that’s a life card. And if you don’t, you can figure another 100 there, and that, of course, doesn’t include the fingerprint fee that they stick us with. Then he’s looking to raise carry permits, ready for this? From 50 bucks to as much as one, sorry strike that, not one, two, no sorry, strike that, three, no sorry, $400, folks. Four hundred dollars. Evan Nappen 02:50 Then, of course, you’re going to see the experience of trying to exercise Second Amendment rights in New Jersey reserved for the wealthy. This is yet more of the Democrats institutionalized racism Page – 1 – of 12 because of minorities in greater proportion, being those of lower economic standing than non- minorities. So, this is a direct, this is up there with the poll tax. The idea of poll tax. Teddy Nappen 03:36 Going back to their roots, again. Evan Nappen 03:38 Right. Going back to the roots of racism and Evan Nappen 03:43 Elitism. Right. So, this is their plan. They’re looking to push this fee increase, and they are estimating that this will bring in $9 million additionally, which Murphy is claiming will help support law enforcement and mental health services. And ready for this, folks? Efforts to combat gun violence. And you know that’s their code words for gun rights oppression. So, they want to help you and us and me and all the folks out there that believe in the Second Amendment, to help destroy the Second Amendment by funding its oppression in New Jersey. Teddy Nappen 03:43 Democrats. Teddy Nappen 04:34 Oh, yeah, that because the USAID check didn’t clear. Evan Nappen 04:39 Right. The USAID check. Yeah, I guess that’s how they want to make up for their policies for reducing federal funding and put it on the oppression of Second Amendment rights. Now, of course, there’s going to be collateral consequences if this passes. It’ll mean that folks will simply go across the border to Pennsylvania and buy all the ammo they want there and not pay the 10% tax. And not have to pay, by the way, when you buy ammo, you still have to pay that ammo check, background registration fee on ammo in New Jersey, and that won’t happen. So, you’ll save lots of money buying out of state, and a lot of folks, of course, are going to do that. Evan Nappen 05:29 And even with firearms, you can buy long arms out of state and that’s legal under Federal law. Now, of course, you’re currently restricted to having to purchase handguns in your home state, but there are efforts to undo that and allow for out-of-state purchases. This taxation is yet another tool in the oppressionists toolbox, and they’re not ignoring it in New Jersey. The idea behind this is, of course, to discourage gun ownership. Discourage it at every turn. They somehow think that this is perceived as doing good. When, in fact, it is doing evil, and it is in line with their agenda. Their agenda that is also funded, and this will let them get even more money when they put these things through, from Soros and Bloomberg and others for doing their bidding. They are the puppets of the anti-gun, anti-rights, gun rights oppressionists that fund their campaigns and these activities. So, when they can do this, they are doing their bidding. And so, this

So, today we have a very important question. Because New Jersey has never found an anti-gun, anti-hunting law that they didn’t like, the question is this. Is New Jersey going to ban eating beavers? That’s right. Because in Minnesota. In Minnesota, don’t you know? That is. Teddy Nappen 00:47 Minnesota? Evan Nappen 00:50 Yeah. Isn’t that the state of Tim Walsh there, the VP? Wasn’t that his state, Minnesota? I think it was or is a party to. Teddy Nappen 01:05 Close enough. Evan Nappen 01:06 What’s going on there? Close enough. Well, apparently in Minnesota, this was brought to my attention by one of my favorite authors, Dean Weingarten, out of AmmoLand, that Minnesota has banned the eating of beaver in Minnesota. (https://www.ammoland.com/2025/02/minnesota-bill-to-legalize-eating- beaver/) That’s correct. This is a hot button issue, as I’m sure you know. Evan Nappen 01:33 This ban on eating beavers was apparently put in place about five months ago or so, in 2024, and it’s got a lot of people very upset. Because. Page – 1 – of 13Teddy Nappen 01:49 It may have rubbed a few people the wrong way. Teddy Nappen 01:51 They really wanted to, uh, they really wanted to gnaw on this issue. Evan Nappen 01:51 I think it has. I think in fact, it has, and it is a damn shame what they did. Because in Minnesota, you don’t need a permit to take beavers. Okay? No permit is required for that if they’re damaging. If they’re causing damage, normally you’re able to do that without a permit or license. And what happened is there was a law that apparently got put in place under Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 97B.667, (subdivision 3) which says, “(c) Unless otherwise directed by a conservation officer, the road authority, local government unit, the landowner, or their agent may dispose of or retain beaver killed under this section. Human consumption of a retained beaver is prohibited.” So, they did ban beaver eating in Minnesota. New Jersey always seems to jump on every new law that comes out, and I think there would be a lot of people upset in New Jersey if. Evan Nappen 03:23 Well, you know, it is something of concern. Now, luckily, they do have a heroic state senator in Minnesota, Senator Grant Hauschild. He’s introduced a bill to allow beaver eating in Minnesota. So, maybe we can get this going in the other direction here. Wouldn’t that be good? I think this is something we need to always be aware of, what’s taking place in other states. And of course, Gun Lawyer has a reach beyond New Jersey. So, I think making folks just aware of bans on beaver eating is of great importance. We sure don’t want to see that happen in New Jersey as well. Teddy Nappen 04:23 Have you ever eaten beaver? Evan Nappen 04:24 In fact, I have. As a matter of fact, I was once at a rendezvous in where they had a mountain man rendezvous. They had an individual there who was also reenacting, if you will, being a Native American woman who actually had a beautiful beaver that she had prepared and that I took part in eating, as did others. As did others. So, beaver eating is a known thing, especially amongst mountain men, especially amongst mountain men. It’s one of those things that I learned. I learned a lot from that Native American woman. Teddy Nappen 04:24 That’s quite, quite, a really good experience. Yeah. Speaker 1 04:45 You don’t. Yeah, unforgettable. Page – 2 – of 13Speaker 2 04:59 I know. I know like you really want to fill. You want to fill your mouth with as much beaver as you can. Evan Nappen 05:32 Well, that is always a good thing. I think you may see actually a kind of a regeneration and interest in this very subject. I would think. Teddy Nappen 05:49 Yeah, in, yeah. Evan Nappen 05:50 In beaver eating. Just across the board. I mean, with the influence of the show. Teddy Nappen 05:55 honestly, really, they should get, they should into Speaker 1 05:58 very deep, very deep influence. Teddy Nappen 06:02 Very deep, very deep. Evan Nappen 06:04 I think so. Teddy Nappen 06:05 I think we need to start giving a damn about beaver eating. And in fact, they should talk about it in schools for beaver eating. Evan Nappen 06:11 Well, that Teddy Nappen 06:13 Beaver eating. Evan Nappen 0

Episode 226-New Bill to Hold Gun Owners Without Bail Also Available OnSearchable Podcast TranscriptGun Lawyer– Episode 226 SUMMARY KEYWORDS New Jersey anti-gun bills, gun seizure, domestic violence restraining order, machine gun conversion devices, digital instruction, reckless discharge, pre-trial detention, cashless bail, gun rights oppression, firearm components, ballistics report, knife crime epidemic, online retail ban, executive orders, gun laws. SPEAKERS Speaker 2, Evan Nappen, Teddy Nappen Evan Nappen 00:15 I’m Evan Nappen. Teddy Nappen 00:17 and I’m Teddy Nappen. Evan Nappen 00:19 and welcome to Gun Lawyer. So, you may have heard that the New Jersey is up to its old tricks. Again. They have a whole package of anti-gun bills. Teddy Nappen 00:31 Is Murphy going to get tired yet? Evan Nappen 00:33 No, this is going to continue. There’s been publicity about these bills. But there’s one bill in particular that is horrible and has not been publicized anywhere near enough as it should be. It’s primarily because they’re sneaking this through because folks don’t have an understanding of the mechanics of what this is addressing. This is an insane bill that is going to impact gun owners, innocent gun owners, by jailing them and holding them without bail for very long periods of time. Who knows? Maybe even the entire case. It’s outrageous. It’s just so outrageous. Evan Nappen 01:28 So, let me first review with you the bills that are proceeding, and then I’ll tell you about this one in particular. This whole package of gun rights oppression has been put forward by New Jersey Democrats, of course. One bill requires the seizure of ammunition and certain firearm components under a domestic violence restraining order or conviction. (A1389) (https://pub.njleg.gov/Bills/2024/A1500/1389_I1.PDF) So, if you get a domestic violence restraining order, which is done with no due process upfront, where the person simply makes their allegations, a TRO (Temporary Restraining Order) issues, in addition to guns being seized, ammunition and Page – 1 – of 15components will be seized. It’s just more of a gun grab, even enhancing further the grab by the Government of our lawfully possessed property. Evan Nappen 02:30 Second, it’s establishing penalties for sale and possession of machine gun conversion devices. (A4974) (https://pub.njleg.state.nj.us/Bills/2024/A5000/4974_I1.PDF) Because the new boogeyman, of course, are Glock switches and what have you. So, that bill is focused on that. Then there’s one that establishes the crime of possessing digital instruction to illegally manufacture firearms and components. (https://pub.njleg.state.nj.us/Bills/2024/A5000/4975_I1.PDF) (A4975) Very broad law. What exactly is “digital obstruction”? Is that just a video on how to make your own gun? Or even talking about how guns are made? It’s just so broad. It’s not just a Second Amendment violation, but also a First Amendment, freedom of speech, violation. Evan Nappen 03:18 The next bill is second in seriousness other than the one that I teased you about first. This one is also very serious. This one is establishing the crime of reckless discharge of a firearm. (A4976) (https://pub.njleg.state.nj.us/Bills/2024/A5000/4976_I1.PDF) So, right now, if you have an accidental discharge, it’s not a crime. It could be a crime in which they allege reckless conduct or what have you. But this bill is going to officially make it so that virtually any AD at all becomes a criminal, felony level offense and that is actually going to have an even greater reverse effect. Because if somebody has an AD and it can now become a crime of reckless discharge, the person immediately has a Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. The last thing that person wants to do is to see where that round may have gone or to call the police or do anything that could be self-incriminating. So, it’s actually going to cause more problems, not less, and it’s going to be used to go at any gun owner that has an accident. And look, you shouldn’t be having accidents with your firearms in the same way that you shouldn’t be having accidents with your car, either. But just imagine if any car accident you have, you’re suddenly going to be subjected to a felony level offense for having that car accident. Losing your driver’s license and becoming a second class citizen. That, too, is a very problematic law, for sure. Teddy Nappen 05:06 Actually, if you think about even more, like, what about for the police, for instance? Like things can happen where some accidental discharge? Evan Nappen 05:13 Well, you know, they always exempt police. Come on. Teddy Nappen 05:16 Of course. Evan Nappen 05:16 They’re better than everybody else. So, that’s how it works. Teddy Nappen 05:20 Sorry, my optimism. Page – 2 – of 15E

SPEAKERS Teddy Nappen, Speaker 2 Teddy Nappen 00:15 I’m Teddy Nappen, and welcome to Gun Lawyer. Now, everyone’s probably wondering, where is my father, Evan Nappen? Well, he is permitted, you know, at least once a year to smoke a certain amount of Cuban cigars and enjoy himself. So, do not worry. He will be back. But for now, we’ll just let him relax and, you know, keep smoking the Cuban cigars. That’s kind of the main focus here. Teddy Nappen 00:45 Anyways, I want to talk about it. Let’s just take a moment now, everyone. Just take a quick moment and just appreciate the winnings. The w’s that we’ve been getting. Like every day I wake up, and I remember, oh, my God, Trump is my President. Hell yes! That is something that you need to realize and need to comprehend, how much safer and freer our country has become and is going to continue to be because of that man. Him, Musk. He already got RFK confirmed. He also got Tulsi Gabbard. He’s got all his crew, including Pete Hegseth. Everyone is ready to help fix this country. And the one thing I wanted to address, which we’ll be getting into, is about his many Executive Orders. I love the pile on strategy for him. There’s so much winning he’s doing at once that, you know, the Government-funded media can’t keep up. They’re running out of fake outrage, and they’re just watering it down to, oh, he did it. He got rid of the pennies. Ahhh! All right. Whatever. Teddy Nappen 02:05 But what I very much want to talk about is a very important Executive Order that was probably lost in the piles of wins that he’s been doing. One particular Executive Order. It was on February 7th. Protecting the Second Amendment rights. (https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/02/protecting-second-amendment-rights/) Dad, you picked a hell of a week to take a vacation. Teddy Nappen 02:32 So, I’ll read this Executive Order to you and just kind of take in the words. “By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws the United States of America, it is hereby ordered: . . .” By me, President Trump. “(Section 1.) Purpose. The Second Amendment is an indispensable safeguard for security and liberty. It has preserved the right of the American people to protect ourselves, our families, and our freedoms . . .” A lot of people say that. Not many people. A lot of people. People tell me that all the time. “. . .since the founding of our great Nation. Because it is foundational to maintain all other rights held by the Americans, the right to keep and bear arms must not be infringed.” Teddy Nappen 03:33 There’s the best I could do for my impression of President Trump, but I’m not going to do the rest, because that will kill my voice. As he lays out the rest, he has thanks his Attorney General, I believe it’s Pam Bondi, thank God. “(Sec. 2. Plan of Action. a.) Within 30 days of the date of this order, the Attorney General shall examine all orders, regulations, guidance, plans, international agreements, and other actions of executive departments and agencies to assess any ongoing infringements of the Second Amendment rights of our citizens, and present a proposed plan of action to the President, through the Domestic Policy Advisor, to protect the Second Amendment rights of all Americans.” Teddy Nappen 04:17 All right, I’m just gonna pause there for a moment. Holy Shit! Imagine like rolling back to any other President’s time where he is demanding we look at the infringements on our rights. Not even like, okay, let Congress figure it out. States tell people there’s been infringements of their rights. He made it an Executive Order. We are going to find these infringements and fix this. I mean, imagine hearing that. You were never going to hear that from Biden. You’ll never hear that from any of the Democrats. Hunh, and then we’re going to protect the hush, first, wait third, no wait. Constitution. Yeah, it’s gonna end well. Great job. Biden. It just such a breath of fresh air to actually see a man sign that Executive Order with, you know, the giant John Hancock-level signature with a marker, which he then throws to the audience. Teddy Nappen 05:27 But yeah, as to the developing plan of action of the Attorney General, again, reviewing various agencies from 2021 to 2025. Gee, I wonder why that focus is the time? I don’t know maybe all the insanity that was policies by the listing directly to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco,

SPEAKERS Evan Nappen, Speaker 3, Teddy Nappen Evan Nappen 00:14 I’m Evan Nappen. Teddy Nappen 00:16 And I’m Teddy Nappen Evan Nappen 00:18 and welcome to Gun Lawyer. New Jersey carry is saving lives. That’s right. This is statistically a fact. Let me tell you right now. There’s a great article in BearingArms by Cam Edwards called “New Jersey Lawmaker Credits Concealed Carry for Crime Drop. (https://bearingarms.com/camedwards/2025/02/03/new-jersey-lawmaker-credits-concealed-carry-for-crime-drop-n1227550) BearingArms is a great news site for Second Amendment news, and Cam is a friend of mine. I love Cam. He’s a great guy. Anyway, Cam’s article here makes it clear and talks about Assemblyman Greg Myhre. He’s a Republican from Ocean County, which is interesting. We’re going to talk about Ocean County in a little bit. Evan Nappen 01:15 But here’s a quote from Assemblyman Myhre. In a video released Wednesday, Myhre pointed to a sharp rise in concealed carry permits following the U.S. Supreme Court Bruen decision in 2022, which made it easier for New Jersey residents to obtain carry permits. “Today, more than 58,000 law-abiding New Jerseyans can exercise their right to carry a firearm. And while some warned this would turn our streets into the Wild West, . . .” Don’t you always love that? Teddy Nappen 01:55 Well, there’ll be blood in the streets. Evan Nappen 01:56 Yeah, yeah, that’s the BITS, right? BITS – Blood In The Streets. They always like to say, BITS. Blood In The Streets. “. . . the reality has been far different, Myhre said. And in fact, it has. Because people no longer are going to be victims. They’re going to be defenders. Myhre went on to point out that New Jersey reported 778 gun violence victims. Whatever that means, right? Gun violence victims. Like victims of gun violence. Anyway, since they’re separating it out for gun violence, they reported 778 gun violence victims in 2024. A 16% decline from 924 the previous year. Marking a 15-year low, according to the governor’s office. Gun-rated fatalities dropped 20% to 152 last year. And meanwhile, the number of concealed carry permits surged by a mere 8,000%, folks! Eight thousand percent (8,000%) since the Bruen ruling. With over 57,000 permits approved post Bruen. So, there you have the real, true impact of “shall issue” in the historically gun rights oppressive state of New Jersey. It’s saving lives. It’s stopping and reducing gun violence victims and fatalities. It is absolutely not a surprise to me at all. Now, of course, the media, the lame stream, legacy media is quiet about this, but I’m glad to see it. Teddy Nappen 04:06 Oh, don’t you mean the Government? Don’t you mean the Government-funded media now? Evan Nappen 04:10 Yeah, right. The Government-funded media. And so, this is incredible, and it is impacting crime in the way that we all knew it would. Because law-abiding citizens possessing firearms is a deterrent to these criminal acts. And this is something that needs to be broadly publicized that it is effective in actually lowering crime. A lot more effective than the revolving door of the justice system. A lot more effective than defund the police. A lot more effective than the progressive left policies that have, in fact, increased crime. This has caused a decrease in crime, and this decrease would not have come about were it not for the empowerment of the Second Amendment by St. Thomas on the majority opinion in the Bruen decision that made it clear that we have a right to self-defense, and a right to arm ourselves outside the home. Its impact is lifesaving, and that is the good news about concealed carry. Evan Nappen 05:39 Yet at the same time, ironically at the same time, we have a fascinating report that has come out called the “Rise Against Hate”. Now the “Rise Against Hate” is a website you can visit, and I suggest you do. It’s called RiseAgainstHate.org and go to their research section. So, it’s RiseAgainstHate.org/researchstudies. (https://www.riseagainsthate.org/research/studies) They did a new research release on “Permit-to-Carry Application Outcomes in New Jersey: A County-Level Analysis (2019-2024). Now this is following on the heels of the excellent work done by our good friend, John Petrolino. He was first to reveal the Attorney General of New Jersey statistics which showed a disproportionate number of blacks and o

SPEAKERS Evan Nappen, Teddy Nappen, Speaker 2 Evan Nappen 00:13 I’m Evan Nappen. Teddy Nappen 00:15 I’m Teddy Nappen Evan Nappen 00:16 and welcome to Gun Lawyer. So, you know, the gun rights oppressionists are not just guns. It’s, of course, anything having to do with the Second Amendment, and they’ve never found an oppression they don’t like. We have to be very vigilant about their efforts, not just in the United States, but also in other parts of the world. And we can learn from what the oppressionists do in other countries, especially so-called civilized countries. So, I want to mention and make my audience aware of what’s going on in the U.K. That’s right, the insanity that never seems to cease in the U.K. Evan Nappen 01:04 As you know, last week, we mentioned their commemorative coin for George Orwell, which is a big eye that follows you everywhere you go. Well, in line with the U.K. philosophy of trampling on human rights in that regard and privacy and your ability to defend yourself, you now see in the U.K., they have, for the most part, succeeded in major disarmament of their civilian population in a large degree. I mean, it’s extremely restricted. It’s so limited on what you can have. It’s really unbelievably an oppressionists state when it comes to guns. And so, when you have that much gun law, when you have beaten that horse to death, and of course, it hasn’t done anything about your crime rate. As a matter of fact, you have all these different criminals, many of which have come into the U.K. due to their lax immigration and other things, right? So, you see the same woke nonsense destroying their country. And so, guess what the new thing there now is that they’re really focused on? And that is, and here’s what they’re calling it. This is right from the BBC, folks. The Stabbing Crisis. That’s right. Did you know they’re having a stabbing crisis? You’ve got to create a crisis, folks, if you need to ban something. So, now they have a stabbing crisis. Teddy Nappen 02:27 Just ignore the two ton steel death machines that keep driving into people. Oh, I’m sorry, cars.Page – 2 – of 12 Evan Nappen 02:52 Right! Yeah. Yeah, where they have the mass murderers just ripping through crowds. But stabbing is, of course, the new buzzword because they can’t harp on guns when they’ve enacted all these incredibly strict and oppressive gun laws. They have to find a new boogeyman, and so, now it’s knives. And so, this actor, there just never seems to be a shortage of actors willing to jump on the oppression bandwagon, This guy. His name is Idris Elba. Idris Elba. This is from the BBC. It’s a BBC article, and the headline in the article is “Idris Elba on stabbing crisis: ‘not all kitchen knives need a point on them”. (https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c1jgz1ld7lno) Evan Nappen 03:48 That’s right, folks. You know how dangerous all those pointy kitchen knives are. You know, we have to ban pointy kitchen knives. Well, here’s the BBC saying, you know, banning the sale of zombie knives, whatever the hell that is. I mean, a zombie knife. Can you believe this? Is a positive step. Yeah, yeah. Well, the zombies, I guess, are happy about that, right? But anyway, it says schools need to intervene early and tackle the knife crime crisis. Here’s what the BBC calls it: U.K.’s knife crime crisis. Says Mr. Elba, there’s a knife crime crisis, my friends, in the U.K. now. He claims that, in addition, ninja swords should be banned. Remember, they’re not just swords, but ninja swords. Just like it’s not knives. It’s zombie knives. Zombies and ninjas are the scourge of the U.K. It must be. Because this guy isn’t just going out there saying we have to ban them and not only saying, oh, that kitchen knife shouldn’t even have a point on them, but here’s the real kicker. He’s made a documentary. Oh, the propaganda mill is now turning, and the documentary is called, “Idris Elba: Our Knife Crime Crisis”. Do you believe it now, folks? Knife Crime Crisis in a documentary, and I’m sure it will be coming very soon to Netflix. You can bet on it. Teddy Nappen 05:30 It’s going to be called, it’s going to be called, Bowling for London.

Hello, Teddy. Teddy Nappen 00:30 You keep bringing me back. I don’t know why. Evan Nappen 00:31 I do. I know. By public demand. But before Teddy does his segment and we talk about a lot of very interesting things, we have a special guest today in the studio, and that is John. And John is from Summit, New Jersey, and he has a very interesting story to tell about what happened to him. I think listeners should listen to what he has to say and beware. So, John, welcome to Gun Lawyer. John 01:09 Thank you for having me. I appreciate it. Evan Nappen 01:11 My pleasure, John. So, tell me what happened in Summit. First of all, what did you apply for, a firearm license? What did you apply for? John 01:23 Yes, so it’s the concealed carry. I already had it for the two years, and I was reapplying. I guess, you know. The expiration date was coming up, and so I reapplied for it. I got a phone call from the sergeant there. I guess he’s relatively new, because I didn’t recognize him. He didn’t really know me, and I know most of the people there. And he informed me to come on down and pick up. Everything was ready for pickup. Evan Nappen 01:58 Okay, so let me stop you right there. So, you tried for your carry permit renewal, and you did so via the state police. You did so online, correct?Page – 2 – of 18 John 02:11 That’s correct. Evan Nappen 02:13 As I’m sure you know, the permits, when they’re granted, are sent to you online. They’re emailed to you essentially, right? John 02:22 That’s also correct. Evan Nappen 02:24 So, here the Summit PD is telling you to come in to pick up your permit to carry and that it’s all ready, right? That’s what you were told. John 02:36 That’s exactly right. It threw me for a loop, but right. So, I proceeded to go see them, yup. Evan Nappen 02:42 So, you went down there with the understanding that you were going to go there, and just for some reason, pick up your carry permit physically at the PD. And what happened when you got there? John 02:55 The gentleman, he came out. I waited about a half an hour. He came out, and he had a sheet of paper with him. You know, prior to getting off the phone, when he told me to come pick it up, he says, oh, and by the way, I have a couple of questions, a survey, for you to fill out. And I go, oh, okay. Evan Nappen 03:16 He called it a survey. John 03:18 Yeah. Evan Nappen 03:19 Is that like, you know, like doing, like a Google rating or something? We have a survey. Do a review. I mean, what the hell a survey? Okay. John 03:27 It threw me for a loop. I didn’t understand it. But I say, all right, you know what? Let me go see what’s going on. So, I do. Teddy Nappen 03:35 Did you give him a one star?Page – 3 – of 18 Evan Nappen 03:37 Yeah, right, yeah. One star. So, when you look at the, so you walked in, and then you waited a half an hour. What happened when you met him? John 03:50 The sergeant comes out, he tells me who he is, and he has the sheet of paper and a pen. He, you know, asked me to come over and fill it out. And there were either nine or 10 questions. I can’t remember exactly on that form. And, you know, one of the questions is like, do you want to hurt anyone presently? They asked about blunt trauma or something along those lines, or something like that. And you know, there was a yes and no. Right down the list. And so. Evan Nappen 04:26 Did you have to sign it? John 04:28 I did. I did. I had to sign it. And so I’m thinking, okay, after I completed this series of questions, he’s going to turn around and give me my credentials. Well, he then turns and says, well, he goes. I said, so where’s my, where’s my, you know, credential? He goes, oh, no, we email that. We’ll email you that credential. You know, we don’t give it to you. We don’t physically handed to you. And I said, well, that’s what you said on the phone. He goes, oh, no, we don’t do that anymore. And he’s, like, proceeding to go back in the office area. Like, you know, kind of blowing me off a little bit. And I’m like confused standing there, and I’m going, what? What just happened here? Yeah, I just didn’t understand it. Evan Nappen 05:17 Did he give you a copy of what you signed? John 05:21 He did not. He

But the one thing they love is to quote statistics. I always think back to my math teacher, where he comes walking in and looks at us and says, yeah, statistics are BS, and here’s how they fake them. And it just dawned on me, because, you know, 86% of statistics are wrong. Evan Nappen 01:31 That’s right, they are. Not only that, my quote that I remember is statistics are like prisoners of war. You can torture them to say anything you want. Teddy Nappen 01:52 Yeah. Evan Nappen 01:56 And what are the antis doing? Our dear friends, the oppressors. Teddy Nappen 02:12 Well, this is actually one that caught my eye and what kind of sparked this whole segment. So, the Hill, everyone, you know, everyone loves the Hill. They were talking about how different anti-gun groups were miscounting school shootings because they had different definitions of what school shootings meant. (https://www.breitbart.com/2nd-amendment/2025/01/12/everytown-still-counting-non-school- shootings-school-shootings/) and Everytown (for Gun Safety Support Fund), oh, everyone, everyone loves Everytown. Of course, Bloomberg Evan Nappen 02:48 Right. Bloomturd’s own personal, anti-gun propaganda, rights suppression machine . . . Teddy Nappen 02:53 So, they would count for every single shooting, every time a firearm was discharged, inside or outside or near the campus grounds. This included things where persons either being shot or not shot, or if a firearm was discharged. So, if a security guard slipped and fell, and the gun went off, oh, that was a school shooting. Evan Nappen 02:54 So, even if a guy was hunting near the school property. There’s a school shooting.Page – 3 – of 11 Teddy Nappen 02:57 Yep, a school shooting. But, you know, we have the greatest, largest amount of school shootings in our country. But here is, and this is something to kind of look. I want to give this out to everyone, because these are the facts. Whenever you see someone say these lines, remember these, and you will spit them right back, and they will say, what? So, the one we always like to see. We always hear the words; more gun control would prevent school shootings. You know? You know? That’s very true, right? Right? Except for the crime research in Chicago University, John Lott, 94% of all mass shootings occur in “gun free zones” since the 1950s. 94%. Teddy Nappen 02:57 Hummm . . in the victim disarmament zones that they euphemistically call gun free zones. Teddy Nappen 03:27 Yeah, and it’s one of those where it’s very disgusting. Of course, they don’t talk about the few times when armed teachers actually stopped the shooter. But you can’t talk about that. Evan Nappen 04:38 Well, that would be a school shooting according to Everytown. Teddy Nappen 04:39 Of course. Whoop, Oh, no. The other one, and this is something they always love to tote. You heard this from camel toe, him herself. Sorry, I assumed her gender again. Evan Nappen 04:43 Be careful. Teddy Nappen 04:55 I know. The number one, let me be clear, let me be cle

SPEAKERS Evan Nappen, Teddy Nappen Evan Nappen 00:15 I am Evan Nappen, and welcome to Gun Lawyer. So, today I have in the studio with me my son, Teddy Nappen. Teddy is also an attorney, and he is also a member of the law firm. Teddy, how are you doing? Teddy Nappen 00:38 I’m doing quite well. You know, I was thinking, as a guest, I’d be the son of a son of a gun of a lawyer. Evan Nappen 00:47 That’s pretty good. I think, Teddy Nappen 00:49 Yeah, there you go. Evan Nappen 00:50 You would qualify for that. Oh, and Jimmy Buffett would be proud to hear that. So, Teddy and I, we love to discuss guns and politics and all that fun stuff. And I’m very happy today to have Teddy co-hosting Gun Lawyer with me. And, of course, we’ve had some excitement in the news. The final curtain of the lawfare has taken its bow, and that being Judge Mershon in making sure that the Scarlet Letter of an “F” is attached to President Trump. That “F” for being a convicted Felon. Because having been sentenced, President Trump is now a convicted felon and that was their goal. Of course, the entire lawfare backfired and helped to get Trump elected. But this is particularly disgusting to see the demise of the justice system in New York, being abused for political purposes and law fair purposes, and to see just such a railroading take place with so many reversible errors. I am confident that, on appeal, President Trump will be victorious. But, Teddy, I know you’ve been reading a lot about this and such. What do you have to share regarding President Trump’s ordeal? Teddy Nappen 02:44 Well, to start with, for him to wear the, you know, the scarlet letter, the “F”, really, he should treat it like a badge of honor. Because that just won him the election. Because that surged his polling. The political attacks by the Democrat-controlled Government basically led to his polling time. He was actually tiedPage – 2 – of 13 with DeSantis, and then it just surged him over where he won the election. So, really, it helped him out greatly. So, good job on (Alvin) Bragg on that one. Teddy Nappen 03:14 But to break it down even further, he was convicted of 34 charges of falsifying business records. So, to start that off, he was convicted of a felony without actually being convicted of anything. Now that sounds quite insane, but you know, that’s the law at times. And one of the things, Evan Nappen 03:41 How did they do that? How did they do that? Teddy Nappen 03:44 Well, it’s kind of interesting and also very sad. So, it dates back all the way to a prosecutor by the name of DA Alvin Bragg, a Soros-backed DA. When Soros was interview Evan Nappen 03:59 Oh, our Medal of Freedom winner. Teddy Nappen 04:01 Yeah, the Medal of Freedom winner. You know Evan Nappen 04:03 He and who was it? A skeleton who also got the Medal of Freedom from the senile sock puppet? Teddy Nappen 04:09 I believe, you are referring to Hillary Clinton. But close enough. You know, Soros was actually interviewed on it, and he just threw his hands up and screamed, the Jews are in the attic and then ran away. But you know, besides, Evan Nappen 04:20 That sounds like Soros. Teddy Nappen 04:21 Yeah, so it starts off with the DA, where they had, the crime that he was actually charged with was a misdemeanor. Now here’s the problem. The statute of limitations had run out. It was far exceeding it. So, they thought, okay, we’ve got to think this through. So, they decided, let’s make it a felony, but how are they going to do that? So, DA Bragg elevated it to a Class E Felony, stating he falsified records to cover up a crime. Now, here’s the problem. What crime? And to this day, they still don’t know what the crime is. Then they raised it to the statute of limitations, but it still didn’t meet that. But luckily, COVID, you know, something, something, China, was able to pause the statute limitations. So, then they could just get him in there so they could charge him and convict him of this crime.Page – 3 – of 13 Teddy Nappen 05:16 Now, looking at the facts that, by the way, for all the people who keep hearing this was a “hush money” trial, stop calling it that. Stormy Daniels had nothing to do with this entire case. She owes Trump hundreds of 1000s of dollars after he won the other case, and she was caught lying multiple times. There was a note saying nothing happened. All this stuff. What it came down to i

SPEAKERS Evan Nappen Evan Nappen 00:16 I’m Evan Nappen, and welcome to Gun Lawyer. I want to talk to you about the worst towns in New Jersey. The worst towns when it comes to exorbitant delays in the issuance of Permits to Carry. You may know the old saying that “a right delayed, is a right denied”. That, of course, puts these towns into the gun rights oppression category, because that’s what they’re doing. I want to mention that my source for our discussion today is an article written by the great John Petrolino, good friend of the show, and a great guy. John just does outstanding, outstanding, gun writing, and he has this article on BearingArms, a great gun rights news site, and very informative. I love BearingArms. His article is called “Top 10 Worst Towns in N.J. on Permit to Carry Issuance Delays”. (https://bearingarms.com/john- petrolino/2024/12/29/top-10-worst-towns-in-nj-on-permit-to-carry-issuance-delays-n1227241) By the way, his article is based on actual data released by the Attorney General of New Jersey. Evan Nappen 01:38 Now, before I get into the article, I want to tell you what the time frames are for the issuance of permits. As a Gun Lawyer, I get calls all the time from folks that are just pissed off that their gun permits are being delayed. Not just Carry Permits, by the way, Firearm ID Cards, Pistol Purchase Permit, etc. So, before we get into the worst towns and some of these unbelievable delays that these towns engage in, I want to read to you what the law says the time requirement is now. When the Bruen decision passed, making “shall issue” the rule of law, New Jersey’s old system of just basically denying everybody for “justifiable need”, where only approximately 600 civilians even had carry permits, it was the state’s way of stopping individuals from being able to be defenders and basically making everyone a victim of crime. In those days, there was little chance you could get a carry permit, and they just very quickly denied you. Evan Nappen 02:59 However, when the Bruen decision came down and New Jersey passed the Carry Killer bill, they made the time frame 90 days. It says, under N.J.S. 2C:58-4.c, “. . . Once the application is deemed complete by the chief police officer or the superintendent, . . .” Don’t you like that – when they deem it complete? Isn’t that cute? When they deem it complete . . . You know, what the hell is that? How about, when it’s complete because it was all filled out? No, no. When they deem it complete. “. . . if it is not approved or denied by the chief police officer or the superintendent within 90 days of filing, it shall be deemed toPage – 2 – of 9 have been approved; provided, however, the chief police officer or the superintendent may, for good cause shown and upon written notification to the applicant, extend by up to an additional 30 days the time period for which the application may be approved or denied. The written notification sent to the applicant shall provide a detailed explanation . . .” Yeah, I have yet to see the detailed explanation given by any of them, by the way, and that’s just for an extra 30 days. “An applicant also may agree in writing to an additional extension of time past the 120 day statutory time frame.” Isn’t that nice? Evan Nappen 04:23 So, they have tremendous authority to decide when it’s approved, when they’ve done a complete application, whatever that means. Then they get 90 days. Then they tell you they want an extra 30 days. And then they can ask you for more time, if they even give you the courtesy to ask for that. Then when they do that, of course, you’re going to say, well, I don’t want to piss them off, so they deny my permit. But I don’t want to give more time. Look at my day delay now. So, they put you in that spot, which is cute. I mean, this law was just written to “F” with gun owners. Let’s just be honest. Okay? But there it is. Those are the deadlines that are there for carry permits. Evan Nappen 05:09 Now, the deadline for Firearms Purchaser ID cards, which is not something we’re going to get into on those delays, that’s 30 days. Thirty days for a resident, and 45 days for a non-resident. It doesn’t have any proviso for extensions. However, it doesn’t have any language that if they don’t do it in time, it’s deemed approved. So, we see exorbitant delays on Fire

Episode 218- Gun Shows Save Lives Also Available OnSearchable Podcast TranscriptGun Lawyer– Episode 218 Transcript Gun Lawyer — Episode 218 Transcript SUMMARY KEYWORDS Gun shows, unregulated gun shows, homicide rate, suicide rate, gun rights, California gun shows, Texas gun shows, mental health, law enforcement, New Jersey gun laws, gun rights oppression, gun ownership, firearm acquisition, dual residency, gun lawyer. SPEAKERS Evan Nappen Evan Nappen 00:15 Hello, I’m Evan Nappen, and welcome to Gun Lawyer. Did you know that unregulated gun shows actually save lives? Yeah, and it’s not just me saying that. It’s actually been demonstrated by quite a detailed study. I’m looking at a great article written by one of my favorite gun writers, Dean Weingarten. This is from AmmoLand, and the title is “Unregulated Gun Shows Save Lives” (Peer Reviewed Study). (https://www.ammoland.com/2024/12/unregulated-gun-shows-save-lives-peer-reviewed-study/) Evan Nappen 00:44 The reason for that, which is really fascinating, is that there was a paper published in 2008, and what the paper compared was the highly regulated California gun shows, with the relatively unregulated Texas gun shows. I think we all know there’s a huge difference when it comes to gun rights between the gun rights oppression state of California and the gun rights liberty state of Texas. What they found in their study was pretty fascinating, and, of course, you’ve heard nothing about this on the lame stream media. But they found that there was no statistical difference in suicide rates or in homicide rates in California. And the Texas gun shows, with far less regulation, actually showed a statistically significant drop in the homicide rate. Evan Nappen 01:59 So, think about that, folks. The unregulated gun shows created a drop in the homicide rate as compared to the regulated shows. Dean quotes from the study, and it’s really interesting. “But our results provide little evidence of a gun show-induced increase in mortality in Texas. In fact, we find that in the two weeks following a gun show, the average number of gun homicides declines in the area surrounding the gun show. Aggregating across all gun shows in the state, we find that there are approximately 16 fewer gun homicides resulting from the 200 gun shows in the average year. In the sections below, we discuss several possible explanations for this counter intuitive finding. However, it is important to keep in mind that while these results are statistically significant, they are quite small — representing just one percent of all homicides in Texas in the average year.” Evan Nappen 03:16 But still, it is a reduction, folks. Less. As Dean points out, the authors downplay the result, but it is fascinating. They go on further in the abstract to say, “Thousands of gun shows take place in the U.S.Page – 2 – of 9 each year. Gun control advocates argue that because sales at gun shows are much less regulated than other sales, such shows make it easier for potential criminals to obtain a gun. Similarly, one might be concerned that gun shows would exacerbate suicide rates by providing individuals considering suicide with a more lethal means of ending their lives. On the other hand, proponents argue that gun shows are innocuous since potential criminals can acquire guns quite easily through other black market sales or theft. In this paper, we use data from Gun and Knife Show Calendar combined with vital statistics data to examine the effect of gun shows. We find no evidence that gun shows lead to substantial increases in either gun homicides or suicides. In addition, tighter regulation of gun shows does not appear to reduce the number of firearms-related deaths.” Evan Nappen 04:36 So, there you go. And guess what? This was no small study. It was a 10 year study of 3,300 gun shows, and it was not a study conducted by gun rights advocates, pro-gun forces. So, this is pretty fascinating. And you know, when you look at New Jersey, New Jersey doesn’t even have gun shows at all. The law in New Jersey talks about having a display or exposition of guns but not a gun show. You know, where dealers could actually sell guns at a show? They’re not allowed. They don’t have that. They created a provision of “allowing a gun show”, but that’s only a place where you can show a gun. It’s not a marketplace that is permitted as it is in many of the other states, such as Texas and Pennsylvania, of course. Evan Nappen 05:36 Of course, New Jerseyans, for years and years, if they wanted to go to a real gun show, they go to the closest ones, which are in Pennsylvania. They’re pretty good shows that they hold there. But it’s really a shame that New Jersey can’t lower its suicide rates and its homicide rates by having gun shows. Imagine that. But that would just be too much for t

SPEAKERS Evan Nappen Evan Nappen 00:14 I’m Evan Nappen, and welcome to Gun Lawyer. Well, I’ll tell you what. We’ve got about 30 days to go before the senile sock puppet is finally gone. And man, that guy is just unbelievable. He’s probably the most gun rights oppressive President we’ve ever had, and he is constantly lying. You know, Lying Biden. The man is constantly lying. So, recently, there was that atrocity. I refuse to call them tragedies. They’re atrocities. Because “tragedy” somehow implies like it’s our fault or something. No, no. They are atrocities. And it was the atrocity that took place in Wisconsin. You know, the attack in Wisconsin at the Abundant Life Christian School (ALCS). (https://www.breitbart.com/2nd-amendment/2024/12/16/biden- calls-assault-weapons-ban-handgun-attack-madison-christian-school/) And it was with a handgun, a handgun. By a radical feminist. Evan Nappen 01:28 And what does Biden call for? A ban on assault weapons, of course! Ban assault weapons. It seems to be the universal answer to any problem that has to do anything with crime, regardless of the facts. It’s always a call for a ban on assault weapons. Having no effect whatsoever. It would not have made one bit of difference here. But don’t worry. We’ve got to ban assault weapons. This guy’s like a broken record. His legacy is already in the crapper with his approval rating definitely going down as the most failed President in U.S. history, as far as any time when there have been poll taking on a President. The lowest approval ratings for any President, and the highest disapproval ratings for any President. Evan Nappen 02:38 This is the guy, Mr. Gun Rights Oppression, with over 50 Executive Orders on just guns. Every chance he got. You know, he’s bought and paid for by Bloomturd and Soros and the whole crew of anti- gunners. This guy, man, don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out. I mean it. It is going to be so refreshing to actually have a President who’s going to stand up for our Second Amendment rights, to stand up for our Constitutional rights, and of course, not to mention saving America. But this guy, Biden, what a clown. Luckily, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Fast approaching. And all of his damage can be reversed and will be like within the first day or so. Page – 1 – of 12 Evan Nappen 03:42 President Trump has promised to repeal every Executive Order that Biden signed on guns, and the ATF is in the crosshairs. That agency is going to be, if not eliminated, radically reformed to end its war on gun rights. It’s just been something that has been abused by the Executive Branch under Biden. They set out to do maximum executive damage by way of gun rights oppression. And so, it can’t come soon enough, but at least that end is in sight. It is going to be a new day and a new beginning, and I am really looking forward to doing Gun Lawyer shows and reporting on the tremendous progress that we are sure to see. I am very optimistic here about good things to come. So, hang in there, folks, and ignore the sock puppet’s nonsense, as he is essentially shouting into a well at the moment, an echo chamber of senility. Evan Nappen 05:16 So, you know, I get a lot of great questions, and I really do love getting the questions. Sometimes the questions dovetail to other important things in Second Amendment news. So, here I have a letter from George. George asks about a number of interesting things, and I want to talk to you about this as it ties into some other things. So, George asks regarding what’s called the “single use container doctrine”. Hello, Evan. I love the podcast. It’s part of my weekly Sunday routine! Well, thanks, George, I appreciate that. Keep up the excellent work. I just recently heard about the “single use container doctrine” and how it might relate to car searches and the “in plain view” searches police can perform if they see something that obviously looks like a gun case in a vehicle. Could you expand on this a bit? I’m happy to, George. Also, would you recommend using an alternative transporting methods for securing firearms? For example, a guitar case or tool bag, since it does not scream “range bag” or “gun case”. Lastly, I have one of your “I do NOT consent to the search of this bag” luggage tag on my tool bag / range bag. Would that make your average cop go, “Hmmmmmm?” Seeing Fourth Ame

So, my brothers and sisters in arms, we have a lot of very interesting things to discuss today. Let’s jump right into it. New Jersey’s Attorney General has filed a suit, along with 14 other Attorney Generals, suing Glock. That’s right, suing Glock. (https://www.njoag.gov/attorney-general-platkin-sues-glock-for-design-and-sale-of-guns-switchable-to- machine-gun-configuration/) And what are they suing Glock for? Is it something Glock made that they’re upset with? No, no, no. They’re upset with Glock switches. That’s right. A Glock switch is a device that attaches to the back of a Glock and makes it rock and roll. That’s right, it makes it go full auto. Wow, it’s still shooting 9mm. And guess what? It’s still shooting a magazine full. Evan Nappen 01:08 But, hey, Glock switches are the new, intrinsically evil, scary thing out there. And, of course, these switches are very simple to make on a 3D printer. It’ll cost a couple bucks in 3D printing, or you can buy them pre-made for 20 bucks. And they’re all illegal. Let me just say it’s illegal in New Jersey, not only to make a Glock switch, but to even have the program or computer data to 3D print a Glock switch. So, let’s get that out of the way. They’re already banned beyond belief, even into the First Amendment realm to have the information. Now, of course, anyone can go online and download immediately the program to print a 3D version of a Glock switch, which apparently function great, according to the Attorney General. Evan Nappen 02:04 Not only that, when you go to the Attorney General’s website, they have the criminal complaint that they filed, and on it, in the footnotes, there is every link you need to know and learn about Glock switches and how to install them. All the resources are right there in the Attorney General complaint. So, if any of you are wondering about Glock switches, you know where to go. They made it very convenient. Just go to the Attorney General’s website, go to their news release, and they link the complaint. (https://www.njoag.gov/attorney-general-platkin-sues-glock-for-design-and-sale-of-guns-switchable-to- machine-gun-configuration/) You can find every link you’ve ever wanted to find about Glock switches. How to install them; how to use them; demos of them, everything to show just how great they are. Fascinating and amazing. So, the New Jersey Attorney General has decided that this is something andPage – 2 – of 13 that a civil suit is warranted because somehow, someway, Glock is negligent, because somebody does something illegal with their guns. Evan Nappen 03:05 Now, keep in mind, this is a lawsuit brought by the Attorney General of a state that is a drug cartel. That’s right! They are selling marijuana in violation of Federal law blatantly throughout the entire state. Who cares? But somehow Glock’s responsible for Glock switches, because they make great handguns. I mean, give me a break. This is an absurdity, of course, and I don’t know how it’s going to withstand PLCAA, which is, of course, The Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act of 2005. PLCAA was specifically designed to stop this kind of lawsuit. But blaming Glock for people’s misuse of Glocks is the problem, not Glock. Evan Nappen 03:52 And what’s really amazing, when you look at the Attorney General complaint, they not only give you everything you need there, but they also go after rap songs that somehow mention Glock switches in it to show how terrible. I mean, if rap artists are singing about it, you know, it’s really bad. And, gee, that has nothing to do with institutionalized racism in New Jersey, does it? No, of course not. But take a look at their complaint. You’ll see it. They also identify various gun shops that have the nerve in New Jersey to sell Glocks. That’s right, they list them. Hey, if you’re looking to buy a Glock, they have a great list of stores that sell them. Go through it, and you’ll see. The Attorney General’s complaint is a marvel, a marvel of legal acumen, for sure. And here we go, the Glock switch lawsuit. Evan Nappen 04:45 Here’s a great article that was actually in Breitbart, a fun website to look at. It says, “New Jersey’s AG Ridiculed on Social Media After Bragging About Suing Glock”.

So, I’ve gotten quite a few questions sent to me via the Ask Evan question machine, and I’m going to go through these questions with you today because I think a lot of these questions are shared by my listeners. Let’s take a look here. This one is from Sachs, and Sachs says: Thank you for answering my question before. May I ask again? So, he’s coming back for seconds. Here’s what he says. Hello Mr. Nappen. It’s Sachs, not from Fifth Avenue, again. I really appreciate your detailed answer to my question on Podcast 210 about carrying fluted ammunition. It was incredibly helpful. I hope it’s okay to reach out with two more questions. Evan Nappen 01:11 First one is regarding carrying while hiking in New Jersey. When I read the Carry Killer bill, Paragraph 10, “a park, beach, recreation facility or other area or playground owned or controlled by a State, county or local government unit, or any part of such a place, which is designated as a gun free zone by the governing authority based on considerations of public safety” . . . placement of the comma before “which is designated as a gun free zone” makes it very confusing. Does this mean it’s permissible to carry in a park as long as it has not been explicitly designated as a gun free zone by the governing authority? Or are we required to avoid all parks regardless of specific destination? Evan Nappen 01:56 And I’ll tell you. It’s a good question, because it is so poorly written. Now, of course, I’m sure we can argue that the designation is, in fact, required for any of these places. The problem is the enforcement officer at the time may not read it this way, and I’m sure you don’t want to become the test case. Currently pending, we have a challenge to these “sensitive places”. I would advise, especially in New Jersey, to rule on the side of caution and not to carry in these places. Because first of all, you don’t know whether it has, in fact, been designated. It may have been designated as that, and you may not be aware of it. So, that’s a risk you’re taking. Evan Nappen 02:53 Second, whether they have or haven’t designated it, and then if it’s going to be interpreted as that is just a separate prohibitor, it just can get really messy and a problem. Until we get something clear with direction on it, my advice is to just avoid those places. We should be hearing shortly from the AppellatePage – 2 – of 9 Court regarding the challenge to the Carry Killer bill by our great State Association, the Association of New Jersey Rifle & Pistol Clubs that you all should be a member of. I just recently spoke with my good friend and colleague, Dan Schmutter, who is running that federal challenge, and any day now, we may hear from the Appellate Court. We may see more of the sensitive places being enjoined and that would be great. This might very well be one of them. So, I will be advising, of course, on the Gun Lawyer podcast about any of these court updates. Evan Nappen 04:07 If you have my book, New Jersey Gun Law, and you have taken the time to scan the QR code on the front of the book and you are in my subscriber base, you will get an email update about any of these changes when that case comes down. So, I would strongly suggest getting a copy of my book at EvanNappen.com. It’s the Bible of New Jersey gun law, and you should have a copy of it and be registered with me for updates. That’s the only registration I approve of, because it’s private, and I get to alert you and provide you with free access to the archives. I have an important announcement about that as we continue doing the questions. I’ve put together a Comprehensive 2025 Update, which incorporates all updates. So now, if you have my book, New Jersey Gun Law — 25th Anniversary Edition, all you need to do is go to the Subscriber Portal, if you have registered by scanning that QR code, you can easily access it and download the 2025 Comprehensive Update. I’ve updated it by chapter. So, any chapter that has new laws, changes, additions, etc., I have put the entire chapter there for ease of understanding. Instead of just putting the updated portion there, it’s the new chapter. Evan Nappen 05:47 The other thing I’ve done that you’ll find very interesting is I’ve broken out of the carry permit c

Well, I hope you all had a very Happy Trumpsgiving! You know, that’s where we all gave thanks that Kommiela didn’t become President and that both houses of the legislature are controlled by the Republicans. A lot to be thankful for. Yes. As many of you know, it wasn’t just President Trump who dodged a bullet, but America apparently dodged a bullet. So, there’s a lot of good things on the horizon, my friends, and we can be cautiously optimistic. Evan Nappen 01:00 One of those things I want to talk about today is the movement toward the deregulation and, we’ll use the word loosely, legalization, although that’s kind of loose, of silencers. You see silencer is kind of an old term from the 1930s. They’re really known as suppressors. Today, we don’t really call them silencers, but the law uses the word silencer to define the item that we think of that is, in fact, a muffler for a gun. Now, of course, a silencer itself doesn’t make a gun completely silent. It doesn’t whisper like in the movies. You know, tuh, tuh, tuh. Silencers don’t act that way. They reduce the blast, but there’s still noise being made. A pretty significant noise, but it’s lowered enough that it doesn’t blow your ears out. Imagine that. Evan Nappen 02:17 It’s something so that you can actually, for example, hunt and have a suppressor. So, when you shoot your gun, you’re not blowing your ears out without hearing protection on or at the range when practicing. By having a suppressor, you can hear range commands and talk to other people and be even safer. It’s all about, essentially hearing protection. And this is where we had a very interesting development that I want to bring to your attention. Because we’re going to see movement on this, and it’s kind of exciting. We’ll see movement on a lot of things. You know, President Trump has promised to, as soon as he gets into office, basically, he’s going to repeal by Executive Order fifty of the senile sock puppets Executive anti-gun rights Orders. They’re all going to go. President Trump has already stated after the election that he’s pushing for National Reciprocity, which we’ve discussed. But there’s a lot of areas where we, as pro-gun rights folks can see change, needed change. Page – 1 – of 8 Evan Nappen 03:41 Silencers or suppressors are definitely one of those areas, and I think an interesting development here has occurred. A major medical group has put out a position paper, a statement, if you will, explaining and stating that silencers, suppressors, protect one’s hearing, and in fact, any of these noise reduction devices are a good thing when it comes to protecting your hearing. Now, the name of the group is the American Academy of Otolaryngology, believe it or not, which is head and neck surgeons, etc. (AAO- HNS) (https://www.entnet.org/resource/suppressors-for-hearing-preservation/) They are eye/ear organizations. Well, it’s all part of what they do. They have approximately 13,000 members. Evan Nappen 04:53 This group recently put out a statement, which will be very helpful, I believe, in getting legislation passed about the importance of suppressors for hearing preservation. That’s literally what this academy put out in their statement with the heading “Suppressors for Hearing Preservation”. They stated in their statement, if you will, as follows. “Sound suppressors are mechanical devices attached to the barrel of a firearm designed to reduce harmful impulse noise of firearms at its source. CDC research has shown that ‘The only potentially effective noise control method to reduce [shooters’] noise exposure from gunfire is through the use of noise suppressors that can be attached to the end of the gun barrel.'” So, we have the backing of this major group, and they’ve made it clear the medical implications and benefits of silencers and suppressors. This group is headed by Dr. Timothy Wheeler, who put the proposed statement together alongside six of his colleagues. Dr. Wheeler is a Board-Certified Otolaryngologist, and he is also the founder of Doctors For Responsible Gun Ownership. (https://drgo.us/) So, I think this is important medically, and it really gives a great basis for suppressors. It’s absolutely true as to why we should not have silencers regulated to

So, you know, the latest, greatest boogeyman is “ghost guns”. Oh, my God, “ghost guns” — the scourge of the planet, and the gun rights oppressors love to pass all sorts of laws, which New Jersey has done; to address this insane problem we’re having of “ghost guns”. One of the things that I hear the gun rights oppressors say is, you know, very similar to other times when they were talking about other things. They would say, “Why does anybody need one?” Why does anybody need a ghost gun? So, I’ve decided, as a public service, to answer that question, and what I’m going to do is basically give you 101 reasons why you need a ghost gun. That’s right, and I will have this piece published out there as well. As my listeners, you are going to hear it for the first time. Evan Nappen 01:36 Here’s how it goes. When the gun rights oppressors are pushing to ban ghost guns, they love to proclaim, “why does anyone need one?” Here’s 101 reasons that answer that question. You need a ghost gun . . . Number one, because it is simply a privately made firearm (PMF). Two, because you don’t want to be beholden to a commercial manufacturer. Three, because it is American made. Four, because it’s locally made. Five, because it’s made by you. Six, because the Government doesn’t know about it. Seven, to better understand the mechanics of firearm operation. Eight, to overcome a denial of your rights. Nine, to resist gun rights oppression. Ten, because it’s demonized by the gun rights oppressors. Eleven, to participate in an American tradition of making your own firearm. Twelve, to experiment with your own designs. Thirteen, to make your own replacement parts. Fourteen, to take personal pride in your craftsmanship. Fifteen, to make a family heirloom. Sixteen, to demonstrate your independence. Seventeen, to build it the way you want it.

So, you may have heard about the latest gun rights oppression taking place in New Jersey, and I’m going to explain in detail what’s going on. What the new tactic is to oppress our gun rights and exact steps that need to be taken. But I want folks to understand this, because this is a kind of a new development, relatively speaking. We have some important opportunities in front of us to fix it. Though, in the meantime, good people are going to suffer. Evan Nappen 01:00 Let’s get into it. So, recently, the Attorney General’s office in New Jersey filed a civil lawsuit against a couple of licensed gun dealers in New Jersey. I’m sure there’ll be other parties sued as well. (https://www.nj.gov/oag/newsreleases24/2024-1113_Point-Blank-Guns-and-Ammo-Complaint.pdf) What they’ve done is they brought a lawsuit under, what is this new law, a relatively new law, that was, of course, signed under the Murphy administration, which copies what has taken place in New York. I’m going to explain all this in detail and how it works. You’ll be able to see just how much BS there is here and why. Evan Nappen 01:47 Before I get into the details, I want you to understand the bigger picture of the gun rights oppressors’ game. In the big picture, there was a push to this is a couple decades ago. A push to try to litigate via the civil tort system, to litigate guns out of existence, by going after manufacturers, dealers, etc, and sue them out of existence. That’s basically what the plan was. And in order to combat that move, the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCCA) was passed in 2005. (https://www.congress.gov/bill/109th-congress/senate-bill/397/text) Evan Nappen 02:35 Now, the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, what we call PLCCA, protects firearm manufacturers and dealers from being held liable when crimes have been committed with something that they may have made or sold. It was literally, at the time, called one of the most important pro-gun legislations successfully passed, and it was extremely important to shut down this gambit by the gun rights oppressors to abuse the civil tort system, to destroy our Second Amendment rights. However, Page – 1 – of 10 certain things were not covered by it, such as defective products or breach of contract claims or criminal misconduct and other actions that they could be held directly responsible for. Evan Nappen 03:52 Apparently, down the road some, I’m sure it was some anti-gun rights “Think Tank” that came up with the idea of having a law passed. They passed a law in 2021 in New York that allowed states to sue firearm manufacturers and suppliers, etc, if they contributed to a health or safety threat to the public. (https://www.nysenate.gov/legislationlaws/GBS/898-B%7CNY) This was their Gambit. The lawsuits created what would be anytime there was an alleged violation, they would include the new public nuisance law. So, the idea is to create a claim of public nuisance where you can civilly go after firearm manufacturers and suppliers. Kind of falling under “consumer protection” by claiming a public nuisance from the sale of certain items. This New York law was challenged by NSSF, which is the National Shooting Sports Foundations, and a number of other plaintiffs in a case we know as NSSF versus James. (https://michellawyers.com/nssf-v-james/) Evan Nappen 05:38 That’s right, James being the infamous anti-gun rights, gun rights oppressor, Letitia James. NSSF versus James was filed to fight the New York public nuisance gun rights oppression Gambit. This lawsuit was brought for the pro-gun rights folks by Chuck Michel, who’s a great gun rights attorney and a colleague. I have nothing but respect for him. Unfortunately, at the trial court level, the United States District Court of New York, they lost the initial battle. The plaintiffs, who were represented by Chuck Michel, included NSSF, Beretta, Davidson’s, Glock, Central Texas Gun Works, Hornady, Lipsey’s, Osage County Guns, RSR Group, Shedhorn Sports, Sig Sauer, Smith and Wesson, Sports South, Sprague’s Sports, and Sturm Ruger. All these plaintiffs’ names that I’m sure you recognize fought here. They lost that initial round, and a Notice of Appeal was filed back June of ’22. So, we have this case that challe

As you may recall, last week, we were left wondering what the future would hold for this show. We knew that Tuesday would be the most important day in modern American history and that what was at stake was nothing less than the future of our country, the future of our Second Amendment rights, the future of everything that makes us America. It was nothing less than that. I’m sure that all of you are just as thrilled with the result as I am, and I’m so glad to be with you today to talk about this amazing triumph by President Trump. Evan Nappen 01:28 That man is nothing less than Herculean when you think about every challenge that he has met. Every low down, dirty thing that the other side could do to him they tried. They tried to defame him. They called him Hitler, Fascist, and Tyrant and all these things. They tried to lawfare him out of existence, and they failed. The media, the propaganda Imperial Media, in a drum beat of constant criticism and opposing him, and they failed. Assassination attempts. No less than three, if you include the Iranian plot, of which all the investigation has been released. He’s overcome all these challenges. It is nothing less than astounding. Evan Nappen 02:43 Now, he has won, and he’s not just won. He didn’t just win the Electoral College. He won it by a landslide and crushed the blue wall. He won the popular vote. He has a mandate from the people. We see that the Republicans on his coattails have sailed to taking the Senate, and it appears that they will also take control of the House, which means we have the trifecta. We have complete control of all three houses of the Federal Government, all three branches, and we have our hero. The most amazing, toughest motherfucker on the planet is now our President Elect, and it is just amazing. I am thrilled beyond belief, and what the future holds here is so exciting. Not just to save our country and all the issues that we care about beyond guns, from the economy to immigration to crime to energy. Evan Nappen 04:15 Not only that but look at the team. The team of amazing people that he has working with him to achieve this victory and now to serve with their incredible intellects, skills, and experience to make America, as Page – 1 – of 9 President Trump said, “The New Golden Age”. That’s an understatement. I am convinced we are going to be the greatest single nation ever to exist in humanity’s time. I am so looking forward to seeing this, and our issue, our Second Amendment rights, will ride along as well in being protected. There are so many great things that are going to happen. Let’s talk about the things that President Trump has said he’s going to do, and the things that I hope we see happen as the legislature moves ahead. This is probably the greatest opportunity for us to enhance our Second Amendment rights since the election of Ronald Reagan. No exaggeration. Probably better even. Evan Nappen 05:45 So, let me start here with an article that was written by Lee Williams called “A Blueprint for Trump’s First 30 days”. (https://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/a-blueprint-for-trumps-first-30-days/) I want to cut into his discussion of the Second Amendment, and then I’m going to add a lot of my own information for you to consider. One of the things that Mr. Williams points out, and it’s really exciting, is that President Trump said in May that he will end the more than fifty Executive Orders that Joe Biden issued oppressing our gun rights. President Trump will reverse all that oppression that the senile sock puppet laid upon us. Remember, Biden’s Executive Orders covered firearms and accessories. All kinds of things. Evan Nappen 07:02 From privately made firearms, which they want to call “ghost guns”, you know, kit guns. Going at mandating serial numbers, getting the groundwork laid to have Universal Background Checks. Gun registration, which leads to the four words that you all should know by now. Legislation, Registration, Confiscation and Extermination. Also, stabilizing braces. Getting that gone. Going at the so-called “safe storage” requirements. Remember, Biden even created this absolute bullshit Task Force to go at 3D- printed firearms and so-called “Full Auto conversion devices” that are already prohibited and regulated as machine guns.

Episode 210-Freedom of the Western World…It’s ALL on the line this time Also Available OnPodcast TranscriptGun Lawyer– Episode 210 Transcript SUMMARY KEYWORDS presidential election, gun rights, Kamala Harris, red flag laws, universal background checks, assault weapons ban, high capacity magazines, gun registration, gun confiscation, Supreme Court, Trump presidency, gun training, carry permit, mental health questions, gun applications SPEAKERS Speaker 3, Evan Nappen Evan Nappen 00:15 I’m Evan Nappen, and welcome to Gun Lawyer. So, in just a few days the most important single historic event in our lifetime is going to take place, and that’s no exaggeration. It is the presidential election, of course, and it cannot be overstated how critical and important this election is. Not just to our gun rights, but to everything that makes us America. Our futures are in the balance. But let’s start by discussing what matters most to us, and that is gun rights and the Second Amendment. Evan Nappen 01:11 Just on that issue, how do we distinguish these candidates and what is the future going to hold when it when it comes to our gun rights? If Kommiela becomes President, I’ll tell you simple enough. You can go to her website (https://kamalaharris.com/), and under “issues” look for “Make Our Communities Safer From Gun Violence And Crime.” (https://kamalaharris.com/issues/) So, we have the propaganda right away. This is the gaslighting that the left, the Democrats, and her entire team love to push. What Kamala is committing to doing is, “She’ll ban assault weapons and high capacity magazines, require universal background checks, and support red flag laws that keep guns out of the hands of dangerous people.” She has refused to go over or put out her policies as to how she’s going to implement these things. You know, there’s no reason to ever talk specifics. And she argues that as a “gun owner”, because she’s a gun owner, these are common sense laws, right Evan Nappen 02:40 So, first of all, she claims to be a gun owner and that does not amount to anything in my book. I don’t care if you’re a gun owner. The greatest tyrants in history all owned guns, if firearms existed at the time that they were doing their thing. Every evil, horrible, dictator, tyrant, fascist, you name it, they’re all gun owners. That doesn’t mean they respected gun rights. Not one bit. And neither does she. If she even is a gun owner, who knows, because you know she lies about so much. But it’s not about being a gun owner. It’s about whether or not you’re a gun rights oppressor. And, of course, she is. Evan Nappen 03:32 So, let’s break down her three key issues that she at least is willing to mention as they run their stealth campaign of just bland things to evoke emotions without any substance. But we understand where she’s coming from. She wants to take gun rights. She wants to oppress gun rights. Let’s look at each of Page – 1 – of 11 these issues, because not only do we need you to vote and get out there and vote, but also you need to get others to vote. If you end up in discussions with other gun owners who aren’t getting off their ass and voting because apathy amongst gun owners is an actual thing. You’ve got to get these people out there and folks that are, you know, middle of the ground, or they’re not really sure, and maybe they’ve even swallowed some of the propaganda. Let’s talk about how to deal with these issues, even individually, in your discussion. Evan Nappen 04:40 Okay, so let’s talk first about Kommiela’s desire for Red Flag laws. What is the Red Flag Law? Well, we have Red Flag law in New Jersey already, and it’s a nightmare. It’s horrible. New Jersey calls them Extreme Risk Protection Orders (ERPOs). Basically, it is the ability to take your guns without due process. That’s the simplest way to understand it. When I say without due process, I mean it. Because the way the red flag laws work is it just takes an anonymous phone call, or even an anonymous email. I have a case with just an email, anonymous, and looking at ancient social media posts. Coming and seizing guns, raiding the household, invading your privacy, taking your rights until finally, after the damage gets done, you get a hearing. Well, this is what Red Flag in reality is. It’s an absolute intrusion into our Civil Rights, our privacy, our gun rights. Evan Nappen 05:56 The other side sells it by saying, oh, we just want to stop criminals, domestic abusers, or those who’ve been mentally adjudicated by a court that can’t possess firearms. Yeah, except it isn’t that. They always pick the extreme examples and then make it as broad and as sweeping as they possibly can so that your rights, my rights, our rights, get c

So, the Association of New Jersey Rifle & Pistol Clubs has brought an extremely important lawsuit to overturn New Jersey’s infamous “Red Flag” Law. Now, we don’t actually call it “Red Flag”. New Jersey officially calls it an Extreme Risk Protection Order (ERPO) Law. The Extreme Risk Protection Order law is an unbelievable denial of due process that exists in New Jersey to take your guns and take away your rights. We have a case now where I’m representing the plaintiff in this case. I’m representing him on the criminal charges, whereas my dear friend and colleague, Dan Schmutter, is bringing the Federal Civil Rights litigation over what occurred here. Evan Nappen 01:33 This suit is something that can have tremendous impact on so many individuals throughout New Jersey. Because in this case, you see the perfect example of the abuse that is integral to the Red Flag law being applied to disenfranchise individuals. The person’s name is David Burg. To disenfranchise David’s Second Amendment right, particularly his right to defend himself. So, the lawsuit was launched and is being brought because the New Jersey State Police used the “Red Flag” Law to seize the firearms of 67-year old Attorney David Burg. Evan Nappen 02:39 Now I’m taking this right from the News Release put out by the Association. You can go to anjrpc.org, and you can see the release. (www.anjrpc.org) (ANJRPC SUES TO OVERTURN “RED FLAG” LAW BEING USED TO SUPPRESS RIGHT TO CARRY) The links are there so that you can read the actual civil complaint. You can also donate to the fund to help in fighting this outrage. It will have an impact on all of us. As the Association news release states, the ERPO was brought against Burg simply because he tried to exercise his right of lawful self-defense while en route to an Independence Day celebration in July. As per the Association release, the State Police never bothered to speak directly with Mr. Burg, a carry permit, before using the “Red Flag” law to wrongly arrest and seize his firearms. Instead, they falsely concluded that he was a bad actor who needed to be stripped of his gun rights without due process. This “arrest first and ask questions later” approach puts every law-abiding carry permit holder in New Jersey at risk of false arrest and wrongful firearm seizure. Page – 1 – of 10 Evan Nappen 04:12 If you go right to the Association’s website, angerpc.org, not only should you belong to that organization, who is also a sponsor of this show, but the Association is there fighting for our rights. They’re the ones litigating the modern sporting rifle ban that New Jersey pejoratively calls the “assault firearm” ban. They are fighting the standard capacity magazine ban, which they call the “large capacity” magazine, which is a very subjective standard, of course. They are also fighting the Carry Killer bill. And this suit, of course, ties into the Carry Killer bill, Murphy’s kicking and screaming hissy fit after the passage of the Bruen decision. Evan Nappen 05:07 We can look directly at the complaint that has been brought in the United States District Court of New Jersey, and you’ll see that the plaintiffs are David Burg and the Association of New Jersey Rifle & Pistol Clubs. Of course, that protects the members of that fine organization, and hopefully this will make important law regarding this abuse that continues throughout New Jersey. The parties being sued are: Matthew Platkin, in his official capacity as the Attorney General of New Jersey; Patrick Callahan, in his official capacity as Superintendent of State Police of New Jersey; Raymond Santiago, in his official capacity as Monmouth County Prosecutor; Anthony Dzugan, individually and in his official capacity as a New Jersey State Trooper; Daniel Valenti, individually and in his official capacity as a New Jersey State Trooper; Eddy Otano, individually and in his official capacity as a New Jersey State Trooper; Craig Denardo, individually and in his official capacity as a New Jersey State Trooper; and Jeffrey Fischetti, individually and in his official capacity as a New Jersey State Trooper. Evan Nappen 06:42 If you look at this complaint, which is extremely well written, it first mentions and discusses the New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen case

As you know, or should know, I’m a practicing attorney. I’ve been at it in New Jersey for over 35 years, focused on gun law, and I see just so many people that are constantly ignorant of the laws, making mistakes, etc. That’s why you, the listener, are ahead of them. Because you’re learning and educating yourself, and I’m happy to be the one to help you do that. Evan Nappen 00:59 One of the topics that comes up a lot, and I just want to deal with it in detail on the show is what is the story with hollow nose bullets in New Jersey? Let me explain this thoroughly so you can fully understand what you can and can’t do, and what’s regulated and how it’s regulated. So, you’ll have a full and complete understanding of New Jersey’s hollow point, hollow nose bullet law. You see in New Jersey, hollow nose ammunition is prohibited, except for certain exemptions. We’re going to talk about the exemptions in detail in a moment. The prohibition on hollow nose makes it a felony level offense with up to 18 months in State Prison for each bullet you have that is prohibited as a hollow nose bullet. Evan Nappen 02:15 New Jersey has this absurd law. It’s nothing short of absurd because they have determined that they want to mandate that you have high penetration ammo at all times. I guess they decided to impose the Geneva Convention or something on New Jersey where you can’t have hollow nose. They want high penetration ammo so that it goes through your target and hits some innocent bystander, or something along those lines. I have no idea why. Because the idea with hollow nose ammunition, practically, is energy transfer. No over penetration or less penetration. More stopping power to stop the threat, which is the whole purpose of having a firearm to defend yourself. Evan Nappen 03:14 So, New Jersey prohibits the possession of hollow nose and then creates exceptions to the ban. One of the key exceptions to the ban is possession in your home. So, you can possess hollow nose ammunition in your home, and you can possess it pursuant to the exemptions under N.J.S. 2C:39-3f. of the gun laws. Those exemptions, the activities under those exemptions, include target shooting and hunting. You can keep this ammo at your dwelling, or your premises or other land owned or possessed by you. Those are the exemptions. You can buy it at the gun store. You can take it home. You canPage – 2 – of 7 possess it at home. You can take it to the target range. You can take it hunting. But you cannot have hollow nose ammunition outside of those exempted places. If you do, you’re unlawfully in possession of the hollow nose bullets. Evan Nappen 04:32 This gets a lot of people into trouble because they think that they are able to lawfully possess it outside those exemptions, and you’re not. You cannot even have hollow nose ammunition in your handgun with a Carry Permit outside those exemptions. So, if you’re in your home with your carry gun, you can have hollow nose. As soon as you step out of your home, you can’t have hollow nose. You’re unlawfully possessing the hollow nose because your carry does not convey a privilege to carry hollow nose. So, don’t get tricked into thinking that you can have hollow nose simply because you have a carry permit. You cannot. I see that as a GOFU, by the way, at times. So, be careful of that. Evan Nappen 05:29 Now, the interesting thing about this hollow nose bullet ban is that it is the bullet itself that is banned, not the cartridge. So, I actually had a case where a guy went through a metal detector with his key ring, and on his key ring was one of those dummy cartridges that had a hollow nose bullet. It was drilled through. No powder, no primer, as one of those key rings. They arrested and indicted him for possession of a hollow nose bullet on a dummy key ring. Insanity. I had another case where a guy was delivering pizza. He had no guns in the car, nothing. Just delivering pie. He parks, I think, maybe temporarily in front of a fire hydrant or something. Anyway, they grabbed his car, and they towed it while he’s making the delivery. They searched his glove box, and at the bottom of his glove box was one .22 hollow nose that had fallen out of a box of ammo when he had gone to the range. They indicted him for possession of five cents worth of .22 ammo right there. Yeah, it is nuts o

So, how would you like to make money and save America at the same time? When I talk about saving America, I’m talking about this election, because it is literally going to be the most important election, not only in our lifetime, but probably in a century. I mean, it’s impossible to overstate how critical it is that we succeed. And by we, I mean President Trump gets reelected, because what is on the other side, as we’ve discussed, is absolutely the destruction of America versus making America the greatest country in modern history ever. And right now, we’re sliding down a slide, and without getting into all the other issues, we’re just thinking about our issue, which is, of course, Second Amendment rights. Evan Nappen 01:25 I want to bring to your attention something that’s really exciting. And I think if you are able to do this, not only can you make a decent amount of money, but you can help to save America. Part of the key to the saving of America is to see the success of President Trump, and that success is very much dependent upon winning in the swing states. As you know, we have the Electoral College, and because of that, it is not the person who gets the most votes in the country, but rather who wins the state by state by state, which empowers various states to have greater and more balanced political power. And so, our electoral college was really quite ingenious by our Founding Fathers, and it’s part of the reason we haven’t completely collapsed. Evan Nappen 02:27 Because if the majority were to be the folks who select the President, then what it would mean is that the high concentration of urban centers would control America, because that’s where the population is. If you want to see the demise of such states in a microcosm, the states that are the worst have the largest, centered urban populations that sink the state for individual rights, especially gun rights. So, if you want to see the worst states for gun rights that are gun rights’ oppressive states, they have the largest urban populations. You know, look at Illinois, where you have Chicago and New York, New York City. New Jersey, which is part of the megalopolis, incredibly populated in multiple cities, like Jersey City, one of the most populated places on the planet. Look at all the bade states. To California. Look at the urban centers there. They sink the politics. Page – 1 – of 7 Evan Nappen 03:41 So, just imagine that on a scale of the United States in general, and you can see why that’s not good. Of the key critical swing states, Pennsylvania is absolutely critical, and here’s where the money comes in that you can make. Here’s where we have something very exciting that I want to share with you. Elon Musk is an amazing man. He just is an amazing futurist. He is somebody that, when I hear him speak, he is just a fantastic person to listen to, and a guy that gets you thinking. Elon, as you may know, has come out completely in support of President Trump, and he puts his money where his mouth is. What he has done is create a PAC called the America Pack, www.TheAmericaPAC.org. (https://theamericapac.org/) Elon is now offering to pay $30 per hour, plus bonuses for performance, if you join their team to help in the swing states. Being that so many of my beloved listeners are from New Jersey and the surrounding area, Pennsylvania, that’s where the action is. Look. I know we need to fight in New Jersey, and I get it. But in the national picture, winning Pennsylvania is critical. Evan Nappen 05:31 And if you can join here, not only can you make $30 an hour plus bonuses for performances but get ready for this. Elon, through TheAmericaPAC, will also pay $47 for each registered voter that you refer who signs a petition pledging support for the First and Second Amendment. That’s right. Elon is stepping up with millions and millions of dollars to help protect not just the First Amendment, and not just to save America, but to protect the Second Amendment as well. And you can become a part of this, a party here to this. I think October 21 is the deadline. So, you’ve got to jump on this now. Go to AmericaPack.org and make money and fight for the Second Amendment. Fight for America and take advantage of what Elon Musk is offering. I think he’s already spent $43 million a month helping Trump. And look, he’s a practical guy. He sees that the key to winning is votes. It’s not just throwing money

Episode 206-Red Flag Law Victimizes Another NJ Gun Owner Also Available OnPodcast TranscriptGun Lawyer– Episode 206 Transcript SUMMARY KEYWORDS Red Flag Law, gun owner gulag, anonymous tip, extreme risk protection order, legal firearms, assault firearms, social media posts, gun seizure, due process, constitutional violation, gun confiscation, constitutional carry, crime reduction, non-lethal carry, traffic stops SPEAKERS Evan Nappen, Speaker 3 Evan Nappen 00:16 I’m Evan Nappen, and welcome to Gun Lawyer. So, there was an article that just came out in northjersey.com, which is part of the USA Today News Network, and I guess it goes out in their print media as well. It’s an article by Lori Comstock, and it is entitled, ‘”Totowa man charged with ‘cache of illegal firearms’ released from jail, but case far from over.” This case, my friends, is a case that I am handling, and this involves. I’ll read you the first line of the article. “A 35-year old Totowa man charged last week with possessing a “cache of illegal firearms” following a tipster’s email to police was released from jail on conditions, but arguments among attorneys regarding the legality of the police search and of the guns has only just begun.” Evan Nappen 01:28 You better believe it’s only just begun. So, here we have two of the key perils of being a New Jersey gun owner. First, you have the peril of the Red Flag Law, which we’re going to talk about here, and how it got used and abused. The second peril is the Gun Owner Gulag, and how treacherous those waters are, and how you better have an attorney that knows what they’re doing. Or you’re going to be waiting in jail, essentially until your trial. This article makes it clear and identifies Kyle Arena in the article. By the way, he has no prior offenses. He is an automotive welder of 17 or more years. He’s had no problems or interactions with the police. Yet, on September 24, 2024, somebody sent an anonymous email, anonymous, to the Totowa Police. The email included, and this is quote from the article. “The email included social media posts and photos purportedly showing Arena engaging in ‘reckless activity’ and posting about it on social media.” Evan Nappen 03:07 Now, we were in front of State Superior Court Judge Thomas Rumana. After our arguments in fighting the Gun Owner Gulag where they wanted to hold them, we were able to get Mr. Arena released and that was absolutely the right thing to do. We got him released. He just has the lowest level of conditions in his release. Of course, while this is pending, he is not allowed to possess any weapons, and they’re holding his licenses. The article goes on to say that his licenses, both of which he lawfully possessed, according to his attorney, Evan Nappen, a Monmouth based litigator who specializes in gun law. Well, I don’t “specialize”. I have a focus on gun law. I’ve been working in that area for over 35 years. And as most of you know, I wrote the book New Jersey Gun Law. Page – 1 – of 10 Evan Nappen 04:09 The article goes on to explain here, and it says that the police identified them as “illegal assault firearms”. This is from the article. “. . . while Nappen classified them as ‘modern sporting rifles’.” Which is exactly what they are. Not the pejorative term of “assault firearm”, even though “assault firearm” is actually found in New Jersey law, because when they passed the “assault firearm” law, they gave it that pejorative label. Then the article quotes me as well. “They appear to be assault firearms . . . ” They may. Let me start that again. “They appear to be assault firearms to the uneducated, but they’re not, said Nappen, who authored a 500 page-book on New Jersey’s gun laws. Nappen referenced a New Jersey State Police opinion letter and noted that the guns fall under the “other” category, or otherwise not identified as ‘assault’ weapons, due to their characteristics. ‘Why did he have these guns?’ Nappen asked rhetorically. ‘He’s a competition two-gun and three-gun shooter.” Arena obtained his guns legally from dealers and uses them in competitions. Evan Nappen 05:41 You see, this is what we’re dealing with. We’re dealing with law-abiding gun owners being turned into criminals in New Jersey. Let’s take a look closely at the abuse of the Red Flag Law. In the article, it says it was a tipster’s email, and there was a claim that he had a “track record of posting illegal content on various Facebook groups.” First of all, “illegal content”? What? What? You know, the First Amendment, first of all. I didn’t know there was illegal content. All right. And the email att

Episode 205-Episode 205-Biden Harris Releases Gun Rights Oppression “Progress” Report Also Available OnPodcast TranscriptGun Lawyer– Episode 205 Transcript SUMMARY KEYWORDS gun rights, firearms, gun, oppression, guns, gun violence, folks, bragging, law, oppress, new jersey, dealer, mobilizing, stolen, antimony, report, called, government, harris, executive actions SPEAKERS Speaker 3, Evan Nappen Evan Nappen 00:16 I’m Evan Nappen, and welcome to Gun Lawyer. So, the White House, the Biden-Harris Administration, just released their one year progress report that they euphemistically call the “Office of Gun Violence Prevention (OGVP)”. (https://www.ammoland.com/2024/09/white-house-releases-gun-violence- prevention-office-progress-report/) But in reality, it’s the Office of Gun Rights Suppression, because that’s what they do. They work on suppressing and oppressing our gun rights. Evan Nappen 00:54 So, this Office of gun Rights Oppression has released a report detailing all the wonderful work they’ve done in oppressing our gun rights, and I want to review this report with you. You can access it online. (https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Year-One-Report-Final.pdf) It comes from the White House. Interestingly, the report throughout it refers to the report as the “Biden-Harris Administration”. So, it’s not President Biden. It’s the Biden-Harris Administration, by the White House’s own words. The key to remember here, folks, as gun owners, is that Vice President Harris was placed in charge of and oversaw the so-called “White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention”, which we’re going to call the “White House Office of Gun Rights Oppression. She’s the Head and Chief Oppressor. Evan Nappen 02:11 Now, you better realize that this election is just that critical. We have a bona fide gun rights oppressor working toward incredible amounts of gun rights oppression that is proudly putting out a report of gun rights oppression. And you need to know what’s in this that they are bragging about, my friends, bragging about. It’s disgusting. If any of my listeners, I can’t imagine that you actually would fall for the lies from Komeela about her being “a gun owner”. That doesn’t mean anything. Some of the worst persons in history of the world, since there were firearms, were “gun owners”, and they were some of the most deadly of gun rights oppressors. So, being a gun owner doesn’t count for anything. What matters is what you’ve actually done. Evan Nappen 03:24 Here we have a Biden-Harris administration bragging about gun rights oppression, putting it in their propaganda term of “gun violence prevention”. Of course, it’s gun violence, right? And so, what do they do here? They lay out their accomplishments and their roadmap to destroy our Second Amendment rights. You would think that our leaders, that those that have taken an oath to uphold the Constitution, Page – 1 – of 9 would instead create a White House Office of Gun Rights Protection, expanding and protecting our cherished Constitutional rights. But no, no. This is about oppressing our rights. Evan Nappen 04:22 Let’s take a look and take a dive into their report, the Biden-Harris record of gun violence prevention. So, that’s what they’re giving a background in. And of course, the translation is the Biden-Harris record of gun rights oppression, and what do they brag about? Well, this Office is dedicated to coordinating across Federal government and partnering with gun violence survivors, law enforcement, state and local officials, and community leaders with the shared goal of reducing gun violence. Or, in the alternative, increasing gun rights oppression. Evan Nappen 05:06 So, how do they do this? Well, they start off with a big block quote framed in a black frame of Komeela, saying the following, and please don’t be fooled by anything she says to make you think that your gun rights are safe for you to vote for her or any Democrat for that matter. Here’s what she said, “President Biden and I have worked to address the epidemic of gun violence with the urgency it demands by enacting the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act . . .”, which was hardly bipartisan. You got a handful of Republican RINOs (Republican in Name Only) joining in. That’s it. They call it “Bipartisan”. Good grief. ” . . . – the most significant gun safety law . . .”. More of their garbage. It has nothing to do with “safety”. “. . . in nearly 30 years – and launching the first-ever White House Office of Gun” Rights Oppression. “In the year since President Biden asked me to oversee this office, our Administration has improved and expanded background checks, announced the single largest

Episode 204-Kamala Harris Sucks Also Available OnPodcast TranscriptGun Lawyer– Episode 204 Transcript SUMMARY KEYWORDS gun owner, guns, new jersey, search, consent, firearms, constitutional carry, law, gun rights, state, vote, oppressors, president trump, rights, carry, probable cause, folks, gun, second amendment rights, america SPEAKERS Speaker 3, Evan Nappen, President Trump Evan Nappen 00:19 Hello, I’m Evan Nappen, and welcome to Gun Lawyer. So, let’s discuss Komeela. That’s what I like to call her, Komeela. And Komeela is the old bait and switch, folks. You know, all those millions of people that voted for the senile sock puppet suddenly had their vote erased, basically eliminated, in a bait and switch. Komeela got installed, and now the big con is on. Essentially her campaign could be summarized as a mystery grab bag. You don’t know what’s in it, and she’s not going to really tell you what’s in it. She wants you to vote for the mystery grab bag. Evan Nappen 01:15 However, it’s actually not that much of a mystery when you know what she has done in the past. What she’s trying to put forward now is, I’m a gun owner. I’m a gun owner. Oh, well, if someone’s a gun owner, that just means they’re fine. They’re great. They have to be one of us, right? And nothing could be further from the truth, because, frankly, I don’t know any gun rights oppressor who isn’t a gun owner. Being a gun owner doesn’t make you someone who wants to defend gun rights. Not at all. As a matter of fact, I know people, who are not gun owners, but vigorously defend gun rights. So, being a gun owner doesn’t mean a damn thing. Evan Nappen 02:14 What does matter is what you’ve advocated for in the past, what you have wanted to do, and the statements that you’ve said in the past. Not what you’re trying to persuade the public about now, within weeks of an election where you’ve been put there without a single vote to try to fool America. And you know, the Democrats have done this before. You may recall the Senate race in New Jersey, where the torch, you know, Robert Torricelli had to get out of the race, and they anointed the corpse there, Frank Lautenberg. He wasn’t elected by anybody, right? Doesn’t matter. And guess what? He won, folks. Remember that — he won. So, they’re up to their old tricks. Evan Nappen 03:20 Now we have Komeela trying to persuade us with smoke and mirrors. She’s a gun owner, and she’d shoot somebody, too. How nice. Except what’s the real Komeela? Well, I’ll tell you. Recently, a clip of her speaking when she was the lead, top prosecutor there, the district attorney. She made her views pretty clear, and remember, this is her acting as the prosecutor, as a district attorney, where their goal Page – 1 – of 9 is to protect the Constitution, to protect our rights as well, find and enforce in terms of justice. Remember this is their job and what they’re supposed to do. You need to hear what she said when she was in the position of power when it came to our guns and our gun rights. Mr. Producer, please play the clip of Komeela. 04:40 It’s people who own guns who are quietly sitting on those guns, and those guns might end up being the weapons of the destruction of a community, because they get in in the hands of some kids who decides that they like what they see on television and they want to act that way. So, this is about just basically saying that we’re going to require responsible behaviors among everybody in the community, and just because you legally possess a gun in the sanctity of your locked home doesn’t mean that we’re not going to walk into that home and check to see if you’re being responsible and safe in the way you conduct your affair. Evan Nappen 05:15 So, did you hear that? It’s not going to stop them from going into your home and checking your guns. Imagine that! No probable cause, no warrant. I mean, screw the Fourth Amendment. I mean, you might have a gun, so we just have a right to go check and if we don’t like what we see or what we find as we invade your privacy as a gun owner. Focused on gun right suppression, which remember, encompasses all our rights here. You just heard the real Komeela. You just heard this person, who wants to be our President and leader of the free world, talking about a policy, an opinion, and a view of our Second Amendment rights that, my friends, is pure gun rights oppression. That is how a gun rights oppressor speaks, and you better realize it. Evan Nappen 06:39 This election is unbelievably critical. I know you hear all the time how important elections are, but this one has to win the prize. We are literally talking about our country as we know it, our rights as we know them, being destroyed by Komeela and the Democrats. Okay? That&#82
