New Jersey – -(AmmoLand.com)- December 5, 2018. In a 2-1 decision, a panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit refused to stop the enforcement of New Jersey’s 10-round magazine ban.
The majority, in an opinion by Judge Shwartz and joined by Judge Greenaway, both appointed by President Obama, held that the ban did not violate the Second Amendment because it reasonably advanced the State’s interest in reducing mass shootings without severely burdening the rights of law-abiding citizens.

Third Circuit Opinion on New Jersey Democrats Gun Mag Ban
Judge Bibas, appointed by President Trump, authored a forceful dissent, pointing out that the majority refused to apply standard constitutional principles to the case and instead treated the Second Amendment differently than any other constitutional right.
Judge Bibas observed: “The Second Amendment is an equal part of the Bill of Rights. We must treat the right to keep and bear arms like other enumerated rights, as the Supreme Court insisted in [District of Columbia v. Heller, 554 U.S. 570 (2008)].”
He rejected what he termed the majority’s “watered down“ approach to the Second Amendment.
Association of New Jersey Rifle & Pistol Clubs intends to appeal the decision.
In the meanwhile, the last day for gun owners to comply with the mag ban law is December 10, 2018. Failure to comply by the deadline is a 4th degree crime that could result in fines and imprisonment for each non-compliant magazine, in addition to loss of gun rights nationwide.
Last week, Association of New Jersey Rifle & Pistol Clubs issued detailed guidance to gun owners about compliance with the mag ban law, including non-obvious, lawful ways for law-abiding gun owners to keep owning magazines between 11-15 rounds without modifying or destroying them.

@Cliffalling….And make sure you and yours bend over on the kitchen table for your cavity exams. You all might have a bazooka or two hidden up there, and they just want to make sure, for the safety of the children, of course. Nothing personal, you understand. (maybe you should read up on Solzenitzen and the last time the Bolsheviks went marauding). BTW, he has another not so well known book named “Two Hundred Years Together”. It’s banned in the USA, by the Bolsheviks who came mostly from New York Sh*tty.
If people have the ability to fight back and are either overwhelmed or too cowardly to do so effectively, does removing their ability to do so seem like a better way to face a terrorist? Your logic is non-existent, and compliance with such restrictions gives a power-grabbing government more incentive to disarm the citizenry. There are millions of us who can and will reduce the body counts hoped for by terrorists, but only if we hold on to our Second Amendment RIGHT to do so.
@Oldmarine; You are right to sit back and review the statements on these blobs, they are fun to read and sometimes you can hear the frustration in why nothing is being done about it ! On this sight we do get to see from calm to off the deep end, but it is entertaining to read, that the base still loves and is still willing to defend this country, remember that oath we took never expires !!!!!!!!!!!!
Sooner or later it is going to come down to civil disobedience–or worse. Things like these are exactly how and why the FIRST war of independence got started. When the colonials would not hand over their arms the Britts marched out to take them at Concord. Look it up for yourselves. Good, righteous, armed people are the only hope against armed evil people. The gun is not evil, neither is the magazine and neither is the ammo. Evil people are evil. To disarm the people is to make another gun free zone. Gun free zones, though well intended, are only… Read more »
Oldmarine >>> The Green Watch Dog Let them say what they want. It may rub you the wrong way but it is quit normal. Correcting someones language in any way means you haven’t thought about the reaction , sort of like lighting a fuse. I try to look at most things from at least 4 points of view. One of those views can be very dangerous. When you least expect it go off in your fact like a booby trap. The language that offends you comes from frustration, anger and emotional feelings that are suppressed. Bad language can be dangerous,… Read more »
New Jersey State Police STILL follows the orders of the communist democrat ex-Governor James Florio, to wit, “If you see an out of state vehicle pulling a trailer, pull it over and search it for guns. If the guns are not allowed in New Jersey, seize their property and jail them”. The New Jersey State Police have waited at Airports to arrest returning veterans, who STILL languish in their jails, because the vets wife travelled through communist New Jersey with New Jersey banned guns, while moving to new duty site. There is a federal gun law ALLOWING people to travel… Read more »

I made a mistake in assuming Joseph Greenway Jr was Jewish. I apologize
No need to. What is….is. his sentiments still reflect what he thinks.
People have to STOP apologizing for offending jews or anybody for that matter. Take pride in your own heritage or race.
Do not humble yourselves for the fear of offending. Don’t ya’s care for your children,grand etc?
