New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin is suing a gun store and a gun show promoter under a recently adopted New Jersey law that allows his office to sue members of the gun industry he deems to be acting as a public nuisance.

Mr. Platkin filed a pair of lawsuits in New Jersey Superior Court on Dec. 12. The defendant in one case is a New Jersey firearm store called FSS Armory, Inc. The defendants in the other are a gun show event organizer called Eagle Shows and a firearms parts maker called JSD Supply, both of which are operated by the same proprietor.
