Friday’s appeals court ruling in the New Jersey case goes further than a July 2024 ruling from a federal judge, who said that the state’s ban on AR-15s specifically was unconstitutional but upheld the provision barring larger magazines.
The third US circuit court of appeals said on Friday in its opinion that the state’s ban on all semiautomatic rifles it deems to be “assault firearms” and its restriction on “large capacity ammunition magazines” were unconstitutional.
New Jersey’s attorney general, Jennifer Davenport, a Democrat whose office defended the law, told the Associated Press that the decision is “as unfortunate as it is legally incorrect”.

The right of the state to keep slaves as punishment? That’s a weird thing to care about.
WAIT, ARE YOU TELLING ME THAT THE AMENDMENT STILL ALLOWS FOR SLAVERY FOR PUNISHMENT?!!
NO WAY. I WILL NO LONGER CARE ABOUT IT ABOLISHING CHATTEL SLAVERY. I THANK YOU.
If you think that’s a reason to not care about the thirteenth amendment, then you’re honestly fucking stupid.
Yeah dude, we should have just let slavery continue until we could get it perfect. Who cares about actual slaves who have been doing this shit for generations, the amendment wasn’t perfect so they’ll just need to wait.
