A New Jersey man and two gun rights groups are claiming that state and local officials use New Jersey law to violate residents’ Second Amendment rights.

They filed a lawsuit on June 18 asking a federal court to block laws that require people to have permits in order to purchase and carry firearms and that limit people to buying one gun each month.
