A federal judge ruled New Jersey's ban on AR-15s unconstitutional, citing the 'common use' doctrine under Heller. However, the state's ban on large-capacity magazines was upheld, with the judge arguing they lack historical analogs and are not in common use for self-defense in the same way as firearms. The ruling is limited in scope and faces potential appeals.
