Framing Analysis
The 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals issued a 10-5 en banc decision on Friday striking down New Jersey’s ban on AR-15-style rifles and magazines over 10 rounds. The ruling found the restrictions violate the Second Amendment under the framework established in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen. New Jersey’s 1990 assault weapons law and 2018 magazine limit were the measures invalidated.
