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.
