Appeals court says NJ’s AR-15, high-capacity magazine bans violate Second Amendment

A federal appeals court invalidated New Jersey's ban on 'assault' firearms and high-capacity magazines in a 10-5 vote on Friday, ruling that it violates the Second Amendment. The decision by the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals hands gun rights advocates one of their biggest legal victories yet on the issue as the Supreme Court may review it.
