New Jersey’s Gun Ban Just Fell—Can Gun Owners Buy AR-15s and Standard Magazines Now?

#NewJerseyGunLaws #SecondAmendment #AR15 #GunLaw #courtrulings ============================ A federal appeals court has struck down New Jersey’s bans on semiautomatic rifles, including AR-15-style firearms, and magazines holding more than 10 rounds. But that does not automatically mean every gun owner should rush to buy previously prohibited items today. In a 10-5 en banc decision issued July 17, 2026, the Third Circuit ruled that commonly owned semiautomatic rifles and larger-capacity magazines are protected by the Second Amendment and that New Jersey failed to identify a sufficient historical tradition supporting its restrictions. The court expanded an earlier ruling beyond the Colt AR-15 and sent unresolved questions involving certain pistols, shotguns, and other firearms back to the district court. This video explains what the ruling covers, where it applies, what remains unresolved, and why possible stays, appeals, dealer policies, permits, and other New Jersey firearm laws still matter. It also separates the court’s constitutional decision from the practical question of when sales and possession rules may actually change.
