The Department of Justice (DOJ) announced Wednesday it was investigating Pennsauken, New Jersey, for violating the Second Amendment rights of citizens. New Jersey has some of the strictest gun laws in the country, according to the National Rifle Association’s Institute for Legislative Action (NRA-ILA). Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon said in a Wednesday release that the investigation was intended to correct unconstitutional practices. [snip] In a June letter to Democratic Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker, Dhillon said that the DOJ was launching a probe into allegations regarding the Philadelphia Police Department’s administration and revocation of the permits under the provisions of the Police Pattern or Practice Act (34 USC 12601). The DOJ also sued San Jose, California, in September, saying its fees for concealed carry permits were so high they violated residents’ Second Amendment rights. [snip] In the Supreme Court’s official opinion in New York State Rifle and Pistol Association v. Bruen, Associate Justice Clarence Thomas warned that even “shall issue” jurisdictions (which California became after the decision) could face legal action. “[B]ecause any permitting scheme can be put toward abusive ends, we do not rule out constitutional challenges to shall-issue regimes where, for example, lengthy wait times in processing license applications or exorbitant fees deny ordinary citizens their right to public carry,” Thomas said in a footnote of the opinion released in June 2022.
