The Supreme Court has been urged by New Jersey not to review the state's magazine capacity ban case, ANJRPC v. Grewal. New Jersey argues that no circuit split exists and that existing precedent, like Heller, sufficiently addresses the Second Amendment implications of restricting magazines to 10 rounds. The state contends that large capacity magazines are not necessary for self-defense and that the law does not violate the Takings Clause due to available options for owners.

This video details the ANJRPC v. Grewal case, where 24 states have filed an amicus brief urging the Supreme Court to review New Jersey's ban on firearm magazines with a capacity exceeding 10 rounds.

The states highlight that such magazines are commonly used and that their own experience demonstrates public safety can be maintained without these restrictions.
