NEW JERSEY 2A UPDATE – CHANGE FROM YESTERDAY 🚨
Yesterday: New Jersey filed a motion asking the Third Circuit to stay (pause) the court’s mandate while seeking review by the U.S. Supreme Court.
Today: The Third Circuit has GRANTED that stay.
What does this mean?
⏸️ The July 17 Third Circuit decision is on hold for now.
✅ New Jersey’s current assault firearm restrictions and 10-round magazine limit remain in effect.
⚖️ The case now moves toward the U.S. Supreme Court, where New Jersey is expected to file its petition asking the Court to hear the case.
Bottom line: There is no immediate change to New Jersey fi****ms law today. The stay simply preserves the status quo while the Supreme Court process moves forward.
I’ll continue monitoring the case and post updates as soon as there are new filings or court orders.
