New Jersey’s ban on the AR-15 rifle is unconstitutional, but the state’s cap on magazines over 10 rounds passes constitutional muster, a federal judge said Tuesday.

US District Judge Peter Sheridan’s 69-page opinion says he was compelled to rule as he did because of the Supreme Court’s rulings in firearms cases, particularly the 2022 Bruen decision that expanded gun rights.

Sheridan’s ruling left both 2nd Amendment advocates and the state attorney general planning appeals. The judge temporarily delayed the order for 30 days.

This either ends with sensible gun laws like any civilized country - or full-auto Uzis above the counter at 7-11.

Either we can in fact restrict which guns are for sale, or we fucking can't. The idea that we fucking can't is horrifying, unacceptable, and preventable.
