New Jersey Gun Ban Overturned | Global News

A federal appeals court just struck down New Jersey’s ban on assault firearms and large-capacity magazines — a landmark ruling that could reshape gun laws nationwide. This is the first time a federal appeals court has overturned such a ban, declaring both restrictions unconstitutional — going further than a prior decision that only invalidated AR-15 bans. New Jersey’s AG called it “legally incorrect,” citing mass shootings and other states’ similar laws, while the NRA celebrated it as a historic win. With ten other states and D.C. still enforcing similar bans, this Third Circuit decision — seen as surprising by legal experts — may foreshadow how the Supreme Court will rule and signal that many gun laws are now vulnerable to legal challenges.
