A divided federal appeals court has rejected Smith & Wesson's bid to block New Jersey's attorney general from enforcing a subpoena. The subpoena seeks documents as part of an investigation into whether the gun manufacturer engaged in deceptive advertising practices. Smith & Wesson argued that the subpoena violated its constitutional rights and that it had already litigated these arguments unsuccessfully in state court. The 3rd Circuit Court ruled on Tuesday that the gun maker must comply with the subpoena, dismissing Smith & Wesson's claims that state rulings should not govern a federal appeal.
