## Key points

- Gun-rights group seeks pause in New Jersey’s Supreme Court appeal.
- Third Circuit struck down the state’s ten-round magazine limit.
- Justices will hear related Illinois and Connecticut challenges in December.

## Summary

The Firearms Policy Coalition has asked the Supreme Court to pause New Jersey’s appeal over state bans on modern semiautomatic firearms and magazines holding more than ten rounds. It says the Third Circuit was right to strike down the magazine limit, but argues that continuing the case before the court gives guidance in other Second Amendment cases could waste resources.

New Jersey’s attorney general petitioned the justices on 1 October after the Third Circuit ruled the magazine ban unconstitutional, citing widespread lawful ownership. The ruling conflicts with a Ninth Circuit decision upholding California’s similar ban, making Supreme Court review more likely. The court is due to hear consolidated challenges to Illinois and Connecticut firearm bans on 2 December, with a decision expected by summer 2027; it had not decided whether to take California’s case as of Wednesday.
