Federal Appeals Court Voids New Jersey's 10-Round Magazine Limit, a First

The Third Circuit became the first federal appellate court to strike down a state ban on assault weapons and large-capacity magazines, ruling New Jersey's law unconstitutional under the Second Amendment. This decision deepens a circuit split ahead of a Supreme Court review of semiautomatic rifle bans, with implications for gun control statutes nationwide. Legal analysts see the ruling as a significant expansion of the post-Bruen framework.
