New Jersey federal judge declares state's AR-15 ban unconstitutional based on Bruen case.

A federal judge in New Jersey ruled that the state's ban on AR-15 rifles is unconstitutional, citing the U.S. Supreme Court's 2022 decision in the Bruen case. The judge's ruling applies only to the Colt model of the AR-15, but upholds the state's large-capacity magazine ban. New Jersey's Attorney General plans to appeal the decision, arguing it "weaponizes the Second Amendment to undermine public safety."
