Frequently Asked Questions

Why is New Jersey arguing against the Supreme Court reviewing the ANJRPC v. Grewal magazine ban case?

New Jersey contends that the Supreme Court should not review the case because it does not present a circuit split, which is a key criterion for the Court to grant certiorari. The state argues that existing legal precedent sufficiently addresses the issues raised.

What is New Jersey's main legal argument regarding magazine capacity and the Second Amendment?

New Jersey's core argument is that the Second Amendment, as interpreted by the Supreme Court in Heller, does not protect the right to possess magazines capable of holding more than 10 rounds for self-defense purposes. They believe current law is consistent with this interpretation.

How does New Jersey address the 'Takings Clause' in relation to its magazine ban?

The state argues that their magazine ban does not violate the Takings Clause because owners were given viable options to dispose of non-compliant magazines, such as transferring them, rendering them inoperable, or surrendering them, thus avoiding a 'taking' without compensation.

What precedent does New Jersey cite in its arguments against Supreme Court review?

New Jersey references the Supreme Court's own decision in Heller v. District of Columbia and the 9th Circuit's ruling in Duncan v. Bonta (regarding California's ban) to support its position that magazine capacity restrictions are constitutional and do not warrant Supreme Court intervention.
