AG Platkin announced the court-ordered settlement of a civil lawsuit against licensed firearms retailer Point Blank Guns and Ammo LLC for repeatedly selling gun-related products to undercover investigators without the buyer demonstrating that they could lawfully possess a firearm. The settlement enforces the Legislature’s July 2022 requirements for the sale of gun-related products codified at N.J.S.A. 2C:58-35. As part of the settlement, Point Blank agreed to comply with the law and pay costs of bringing the complaint.

“I will not tolerate lax and unlawful practices by firearms businesses—the very kind that can lead to a deadly mass shooting. 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.” – AG Platkin
