Federal Appeals Court Strikes Down New Jersey's AR-15 and Magazine Bans

A federal appeals court ruled Friday that New Jersey's ban on semiautomatic rifles and magazines holding more than 10 rounds is unconstitutional, the first time a federal appellate court has struck down such a ban. The NRA hailed the 3rd Circuit decision as a 'historic victory' for the Second Amendment. The ruling could reshape firearms regulation across the country and set up a likely appeal to the Supreme Court.
