The Association of New Jersey Rifle and Pistol Clubs (ANJRPC) has asked the lower federal court to resolve its lawsuits challenging New Jersey’s magazine ban and assault firearms ban. In the meantime, ANJRPC filed a separate lawsuit challenging New Jersey’s assault firearms ban. The assault firearms ban prohibits the possession of certain types of semi-automatic firearms and high-capacity magazines. The lower federal court consolidated the magazine ban and assault firearms ban cases in August 2023. If ANJRPC is successful, the court could strike down New Jersey’s magazine ban and assault firearms ban, setting a precedent for other challenges to similar laws in other states.
