Federal Judge: New Jersey ban on AR-15s unconstitutional

U.S. District Judge Peter Sheridan, citing the U.S. Supreme Court's 2022 Bruen decision, declared the state's ban on the sale of AR-15 rifles was unconstitutional while its ban on the sale of magazines holding more than 10 rounds could stand. Both the state of New Jersey and gun-rights groups plan to appeal. As described in American Gun: The True Story of the AR-15, gun-rights groups and states have been wrestling for years over how to regulate the sale of the rapid-fire AR-15, which is the most popular rifle in America today.
