TRENTON, N.J. (November 13, 2025) – Today, Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) announced that its legal team has filed a motion to add the National Rifle Association (NRA) into the FPC Law case Struck v. Platkin, a challenge to New Jersey’s so-called “1-in-30” firearm purchase ban. The Garden State’s regulatory scheme prohibits law-abiding adults from acquiring more than one firearm in any 30-day period—a restriction that FPC contends has no basis in longstanding Second Amendment precedent or historical tradition.

Earlier this year, FPC secured a major victory in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals when that court struck down California’s comparable ban. The motion to join the NRA in New Jersey comes as part of FPC’s national litigation strategy through its FPC Law program—a strategy dedicated to eliminating laws that impose unconstitutional limits on the people’s right to keep and bear arms.

“New Jersey’s ban is unconstitutional, full stop,” said FPC President Brandon Combs. “We’re glad to welcome the NRA into this fight and to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with our FPC Grassroots Army to eliminate yet another immoral, rights-rationing law. Together, we will bring this state—and the rest of the country—closer to the liberty the Constitution demands.”

The plaintiffs are represented by Bradley P. Lehman of Whiteford, Taylor & Preston, LLC, along with Stephen M. Duvernay and Bradley A. Benbrook of Benbrook Law Group. FPC thanks the FPC Action Foundation for its strategic support of this litigation.
