Second Amendment: Assault Weapons Bans Head to SCOTUS

Third Circuit en banc (10-5) struck down New Jersey's assault weapons ban, creating deep doctrinal split. State seeks stay pending cert petition. Now the Supreme Court has granted certiorari in two additional assault weapons ban cases, Viramontes and Grant, directly testing Bruen's historical-tradition test. This could be the next major gun rights battle, with multiple challenges converging.
