I'll try this again. I tried to post a comment to this last night, but IE was having problems.
My comment was that if you question the NRA and what they are doing, you need to read the NRA-ILA website.
Here ya go. That's the results for a search on the N R A-ILA website for "new jersey legislation." There's 11 pages of results that simply inform the reader of pending or already-passed legislation, but after perusing two full pages of those results, I didn't find one single story chronicling any action the the N R A is taking in NJ.
So simply reading "the N R A-ILA website" doesn't answer the OP's question at all, unless one or two examples are buried between Pages 3 and 11.
This will keep you informed as to what they are fighting for us, the gun owning 2nd Amendment people of America.
The question doesn't pertain to "America" in general, it pertains specifically to what the N R A is doing to challenge the highly-restrictive laws in New Jersey specifically.
I'm interested in the phrase you use above, "...as to what they are fighting for us, the gun owning 2nd Amendment people of America." First, I want to identify who "they" (the N R A) are in relation to fighting for gun rights.
This article from JPFO identifies them as "
America's largest gun control organization."
I first posted that link on this site almost exactly two years ago
here. There's lots of documentation (as opposed to simple opinion) in that post of N R A's ineffectiveness at stopping the advance of gun control in this country. One of the important issues covered in that post is that the N R A actually
fought bringing the Heller case to the Supreme Court, yet once it was scheduled, they actually did fund-raising around it as though it was
their case to begin with. It's all laid out in disgusting, phony, hypocritical detail in this
American Bar Association Journal story.
It seems this subject comes up mostly in February for some reason, but almost exactly one year ago I
posted several quotes from N R A former President David Keene at a Christian Science Monitor breakfast where he fielded random questions from attendees, who were mostly leftist gun-grabber types. Read those quotes and then try to convince the more informed folks around here of how the N R A "...are fighting for us, the gun owning 2nd Amendment people of America." No one who says that a fully legal weapon accessory should turn legal users of it into felons is fighting for anything but
gun control. You'll have to read that post to understand that, but that's hardly the only issue raised by his quotes.
So that brings us to who the "us" is. I don't want to be part of an "us" who blindly follows people and .orgs that routinely betray the guarantees of the Constitution or the 2A. I cannot fathom how or why any real 2A supporter does that other than just being unaware of those betrayals. But then I look back on how like clock-work it is that after I document them,
I'm the bad guy, or the betrayer to the cause. I also have no interest in being part of an "us" that can't face the truth and learn from their mistakes of who to put their trust in.
In addition there are organizations like GOA and State/local groups that are affiliated with The NRA.
GOA is
not affiliated with the N R A. Though some local and state .orgs are,
many are not either. As I said in my first post, the N R A is not the be all, end all of gun rights advocates. They're not even the best at it, and many mistakes they've made could legitimately put them in the category as some of the
worst at it.
In my state we have the Delaware State Sportsmans Assoc. working at a state level to help gun owners.
So if you really want to know what the NRA is doing it's there to be found.
And again, nothing to address the OP's question about NJ, except to say, "Go do your own homework. All I'm going to say about the N R A is rah-rah-rah."
Perhaps the woeful number of gun owners who don't know what the N R A is (or isn't) doing is why NJ is in the fix they're in.
