Friday’s appeals court ruling in the New Jersey case goes further than a July 2024 ruling from a federal judge, who said that the state’s ban on AR-15s specifically was unconstitutional but upheld the provision barring larger magazines.
The third US circuit court of appeals said on Friday in its opinion that the state’s ban on all semiautomatic rifles it deems to be “assault firearms” and its restriction on “large capacity ammunition magazines” were unconstitutional.
New Jersey’s attorney general, Jennifer Davenport, a Democrat whose office defended the law, told the Associated Press that the decision is “as unfortunate as it is legally incorrect”.

How does my not owning a gun help my kid at school when their school is getting shot up by a third party with an AR15?
The reason they don’t want gun bans despite children being murdered in school is because they want parents afraid of a public education. They want education only for those that can afford a private school and all the security it can afford. It is the only logical conclusion as to why we are doing absolute nothing about this.
They don’t want to improve the material conditions that create mass shooters and gang violence. They don’t want to fund mental healthcare. They don’t want to do anything other than sit back, rake in billions, and watch the peasants kill each other over scraps, or go insane and blow away a school full of other working class children. It’s a disgrace.
