Court's decisions in Goodyear and McIntyre, the Court's clarified distinction referenced above will surely be cited and argued in cases where a claim of personal jurisdiction over an out-of-state or foreign company is not so far-fetched. If I purchased a toy from an online retailer who is not registered to do business in California, and it blows up in my face, I would have to file suit in a state other than California. This would pose a financial burden on me in that any depositions or court hearings I wish to participate in would require travel expenses. The same goes for any of my witnesses. Furthermore, what if the company chose to do business in a state with less consumer safety laws? It is not fair that a company can choose to be based out of such a state and distribute their faulty products to any other state with more stringent safety laws. This is not a good decision for consumers.

Regarding state of New Jersey. The state of NJ is clearly limiting the access of its citizens to guns, as the case stated its not a complete prohibition, but its merely one step away and that would be complete repeal of the citizens 14th amendment. I agree no all people are fit to own a gun, but this is why the purchasing process can be made more diligent, but why limit the true enthusiast. You dont need a special license to play baseball, but you can sure kill someone with a baseball bat.
