Smith & Wesson has so far refused to hand over any documents.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The New Jersey attorney general has filed a request with a state court seeking to force Smith & Wesson to hand over internal documents related to the advertising and marketing of firearms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The move is only the latest in an anti-gun push by government bureaucrats<\/a> to shut down firearms manufacturers over alleged false advertising.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe preliminary investigation suggests that certain of Smith & Wesson\u2019s firearms advertisements and marketing available to New Jersey consumers may misrepresent the impact owning a firearm has on personal safety and\/or safety in the home,\u201d attorneys for the state say in the request<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn addition, certain of Smith & Wesson\u2019s advertisements to New Jersey consumers depict and market the concealed carry of firearms while omitting the material fact that, in New Jersey, concealed carry of a firearm requires a permit.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New Jersey Attorney General Gurbir Grewal subpoenaed Smith & Wesson for the documents back in October, but the gun manufacturer sent a letter to the state in December saying they were refusing to hand over the documents. Smith & Wesson then countersued in federal court<\/a> saying that New Jersey\u2019s subpoena violates its first amendment rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe New Jersey Attorney General has taken a series of actions to suppress Smith & Wesson\u2019s speech, and with the intention of damaging Smith & Wesson both financially and reputationally,\u201d the company says in its suit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Subpoena presents no legitimate inquiry into any purported fraud, and instead targets mere opinions and other protected statements allegedly made by Smith & Wesson, such as (1) whether Smith & Wesson\u2019s products are \u201csafe,\u201d make a home safer, or enhance one\u2019s lifestyle; (2) whether an untrained consumer could successfully and effectively use a Smith & Wesson firearm for personal or home defense; and (3) whether private citizens should have the right to carry a concealed firearm.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

In its conclusion, Smith & Wesson accuses the attorney general of launching a campaign to \u201csilence, intimidate, and deter\u201d the company and its customers from \u201cexercising their constitutional rights.\u201d Grewal\u2019s actions violate numerous provisions of the U.S. Constitution, including the First, Second, Fourth, Fifth, and Fourteenth Amendments, according to the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It wouldn\u2019t be the first attempt to go after gun makers for their advertising practices. In 2019, the Connecticut Supreme Court allowed a case to move forward against Remington for the company\u2019s \u201ctruly unethical and irresponsible marketing practices promoting criminal conduct.\u201d The case was brought by families of the Sandy Hook massacre and is still ongoing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
