The Department of Justice unfortunately has no shortage of work when it comes to going after blue state officials suppressing Americans’ Second Amendment rights.
According to a Justice Department news release from Wednesday, the agency has opened an investigation into Pennsauken, New Jersey, to determine whether the process for acquiring a firearms license is unjustifiably lengthy and difficult.
The focus is on the Pennsauken Township Police’s permitting system.
The DOJ said the system “deprives citizens of their right to bear arms through egregious and unjust delays in issuing firearm licenses.”
The Daily Caller News Foundation noted some of the specific obstacles of obtaining a permit.
An applicant for concealed carry needs four references, an address history for the last 10 years, and fingerprints.
That’s quite a lot for a right given by God, and recognized by the Constitution, to defend oneself.
