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.

      How many people have pushed back on the goons terrorizing your streets using assault rifles? How many are willing to actually carry weapons against their oppressive leadership?

        Sure, disarm yourself during the fascist takeover. What could go wrong? You’ll be able to tell your fellow concentration camp inmates fun quips about school shootings.
