Analysis Summary
A federal appeals court ruled Friday that New Jersey's decades-old ban on AR-15s and high-capacity magazines violates the Second Amendment, with the 3rd Circuit's 10-5 decision striking down core pieces of the state's strict gun regulations. The NRA called it a historic victory in a case they've litigated since 2018. What's missing: the ruling likely triggers immediate legal battles over enforcement and will probably be appealed to the Supreme Court, where the outcome remains uncertain given the current conservative majority's track record on gun rights.

“The ruling also struck down the state's magazine limits”
Politico and The Hill both confirm the appeals court invalidated not just the assault weapons ban but also New Jersey's high-capacity magazine restrictions.
