Summary
A federal appeals court has struck down New Jersey’s ban on assault-style firearms and high-capacity magazines — the first time a federal court has done so — sending shockwaves through the gun debate as the Supreme Court prepares to weigh in on similar bans. While Illinois’ ban recently survived legal challenge, New Jersey’s ruling goes further, declaring the entire ban unconstitutional — even overturning a prior judge’s narrower decision. The state’s AG called it “legally incorrect,” arguing New Jersey acted responsibly to curb dangerous weapons, while the NRA hailed it a “historic victory” for Second Amendment rights. Legal experts are stunned by the ruling, which could signal a major shift in gun law — especially as more states face similar lawsuits and the Supreme Court prepares to make its own historic decision.
