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”.

      Go on then. Go buy these automatic rifles and fight fascism.

      Oh right, you wont. Youre a pathetic naysaying coward hiding in a basement complaining about ‘muh freedoms’ when children are mowed down.

      So pathetic.

        Why is the difference between “automatic” and “semi-automatic” such a difficult concept to grasp for you people?

      Yep! The fact we live in a society that makes stuff like this relatable because of how prominent this situation is means trying to impliment reasonable gun-control makes people pro-fascism. Gun violence inflicted on children is clearly a sign of a healthy society. After all, the rest of the world’s statistics are comparable.
