Biden-Appointed Judge Kills New Jersey’s Assault Weapons Ban

About this video

Colion breaks down a federal appeals court ruling that struck down New Jersey’s assault weapons ban, magazine capacity limits, and feature restrictions in a 10-5 decision. He emphasizes that the opinion was written by Judge Arianna Freeman, a Biden-appointed former public defender, making the ruling particularly significant. Colion argues this creates a circuit split that may force the Supreme Court to settle the assault weapons ban question nationwide, and he frames the decision as a major Second Amendment victory grounded in the Bruen historical tradition test.

Key takeaways

• Colion reports that a federal appeals court struck down New Jersey’s complete semi-automatic rifle ban and 10-round magazine limit, marking the first time a federal appeals court has ruled a state assault weapons ban unconstitutional
• According to Colion, the ruling was written by Biden appointee Judge Arianna Freeman, who applied the Bruen test requiring gun laws to be consistent with historical tradition, finding no historical support for banning weapons in common lawful use
• Colion argues this creates a circuit split with other courts that have upheld similar bans, which he believes will pressure the Supreme Court to definitively settle the assault weapons ban issue for the entire country
