Federal Judge Declares New Jersey's AR-15 Ban Unconstitutional

The ruling cites Supreme Court precedents, while upholding the state's magazine capacity limit.

Judge Peter Sheridan's decision references the Supreme Court's Bruen and Heller rulings.
The AR-15 ban was challenged by gun rights groups, who plan to appeal the magazine capacity decision.
New Jersey Attorney General argues the ruling jeopardizes public safety.
The decision is limited to the Colt AR-15 and does not affect other firearms.
Nine other states and Washington D.C. have similar assault weapon bans.
