Summary
A federal appeals court just struck down New Jersey’s assault weapons ban — the first time a federal court has ruled such a state law unconstitutional — sparking national debate. With a 10-5 vote, the court invalidated bans on AR-15 style rifles and high-capacity magazines, long-standing staples of New Jersey’s strict gun laws. Gun rights advocates hail it as a major victory, while Governor Mikie Sherrill and Attorney General call it dangerously wrong, citing military experience and public safety records. The ruling comes as the U.S. Supreme Court prepares to weigh in on similar bans in other states, potentially reshaping gun control nationwide.
