The 3rd Circuit Court says the Port Authority can confiscate firearms from non-New Jersey residents passing through Newark International Airport. The ruling says the Firearm Owners Protection Act does not apply when walking through an airport terminal.
As per Scott Bach, this rewrites FOPA and thwarts the entire purpose of the law.
The law is the law, except when it’s not? No. If Congress meant for there to be exceptions to the FOPA, then Congress would surely have made such exceptions. They made none. The law stands as it is, the 3rd Circuit Court to the contrary. They will simply have to be overruled for their folly.
