The introduced measure is unlikely to gain support in a Democratic-controlled legislature.

Key point.  There’s no way this doesn’t die in committee.

First, a poster child for why banning standard-capacity mags is bad.  
Second, also training.  
Third, don’t turn your back on the enemy.

"State said LCM's are a risk to mass shootings and they need to be banned to allow people to escape at the reload."  

Wow, the argument for restricting magazine capacity is so that in a mass shooting, people have time to get to safety during the reload.  This clearly shows their massive ignorance or blatant lies. 

 

The argument is demonstratively false considering there have been a non-zero number of mass shootings where the shooters used small magazines.

Notes from yesterday's hearing, ostensibly

Typical state fear-mongering arguments.   Them pushing that numbers don’t equate to common use is nonsensical.  
Judge asking about ruling for the standard capacity mag ban but against AR (features) is concerning.   Smacks of interest balancing which is explicitly forbidden under Bruen.

I like what another person said:  strip it down to just the lower and leave it up on a cinder block.

Schmutter should have told Sheridan that sledgehammers are also protected under 2A and that needs based scrutiny was prohibited under Bruen.

In NJ a Right is only for the left due to all the jughandles.  
 

I agree though that there was zero reason this case stalled back at the district level the second time.  Even the CA case that was remanded all the way down has hit the 9th again.

Probably a bad analogy.  Car manufacturers get sued all the time.  There was one where Jeep was sued because the automatic braking was an optional feature.

More likely the media hyping the hot topic.  They did the same thing with railroad accidents after Palestine.

So we should expect state charges? Let's see when that happens. 

I don’t know.  Maybe state charges were also filed but this case was only challenging the federal ones.   Maybe the state was holding off and will continue to do so given the federal court ruling.  
Since none of it directly applies to us in NJ it’s all academic anyway.  As you said, let’s wait and see.  More waiting on the court.  As is tradition here.

He was charged with illegal possession under their FOID and Carry laws, so I'm not seeing how they are seperate.

He was charged under the federal statute.

U.S. District Judge Sharon Johnson Coleman ruled on March 8 that the defendant, Heriberto Carbajal-Flores, who is residing in the United States illegally, had his Second Amendment right’s violated when prosecutors originally charged him with 18 U.S.C § 922, which bars illegal immigrants from carrying guns or ammunition.
