US appeals court declares New Jersey's ban on assault rifles unconstitutional - Reuters

The 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has declared New Jersey’s long-standing ban on assault weapons and large-capacity magazines unconstitutional. In a 10-5 decision, the federal court ruled that state restrictions on AR-15-style rifles and magazines containing more than 10 rounds violate the Second Amendment. This judicial ruling effectively strikes down the state's decades-old regulations regarding these specific firearms and accessories, ensuring that the restrictions cannot be enforced under the current constitutional interpretation.
