Published on August 12, 2021
Duration: 9:21

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is New Jersey opposing the Supreme Court reviewing the magazine ban case?

What are the main legal arguments New Jersey is making regarding magazine capacity bans?

New Jersey contends that magazine capacity limits are necessary for public safety and that individuals do not require more than 10 rounds for effective self-defense, citing Heller. They also argue the law doesn't violate the Takings Clause as owners have options to dispose of or modify their magazines.

What is the ANJRPC v. Grewal case about?

The ANJRPC v. Grewal case challenges New Jersey's laws that restrict magazine capacity to 10 or fewer rounds. The lawsuit questions whether such a blanket, retrospective, and potentially confiscatory ban violates the Second Amendment and the Takings Clause.

What does a writ of certiorari mean in this context?

A writ of certiorari is a formal request for the Supreme Court to review a lower court's decision. In ANJRPC v. Grewal, a writ was filed to ask the Supreme Court to hear the case challenging New Jersey's magazine ban, but New Jersey is opposing this review.
