New Jersey, in which the appellate court <a class=\"LexicalEditorTheme__link\" href=\"https:\/\/assets.nationbuilder.com\/firearmspolicycoalition\/pages\/6504\/attachments\/original\/1784307428\/2026.07.17_125_OPINION.pdf?1784307428\">declared<\/a> the state\u2019s ban of magazines holding more than ten rounds was unconstitutional on Second Amendment grounds, citing widespread ownership of the accessories for lawful purposes. In its petition to the high court, New Jersey claimed that the Third Circuit ignored \u201cchanges in the technology\u201d as well as \u201cmass shootings.\u201d <b><\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"LexicalEditorTheme__paragraph\">\u201cDespite changes in the technology and the rise of modern mass shootings, the Court disagreed with the State that this case involved an \u2018unprecedented societal concern\u2019 necessitating a more \u2018nuanced approach,\u2019 or that such an approach would change the outcome,\u201d Davenport argued in the petition. The Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) noted in a Monday <a class=\"LexicalEditorTheme__link\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/gunpolicy\/status\/2109630057035571445\">post<\/a> on X that it had a Nov. 4 deadline to respond to New Jersey\u2019s request.<\/p>\n<p class=\"LexicalEditorTheme__paragraph\">The Third Circuit\u2019s ruling created a \u201ccircuit split\u201d with the Ninth Circuit, which upheld <a class=\"LexicalEditorTheme__link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.supremecourt.gov\/docket\/docketfiles\/html\/public\/25-198.html\">Duncan v. Bonta<\/a>, a challenge to California\u2019s ban on magazines holding more than ten rounds. \u201cCircuit splits\u201d occur when federal appeals courts disagree on rulings, making it more likely the Supreme Court will hear the case. The Supreme Court <a class=\"LexicalEditorTheme__link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.scotusblog.com\/cases\/duncan-v-bonta-2\/\">considered<\/a> taking up Duncan v. Bonta for over 24 conferences, a record, but had not announced a decision about whether it would take the case as of Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"LexicalEditorTheme__paragraph\">Two other major cases with Second Amendment implications also feature \u201ccircuit splits.\u201d In Beckwith v. Frey, a case challenging the constitutionality of Maine\u2019s three-day waiting period on firearms purchases, the waiting period was upheld by the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit. However, the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit <a class=\"LexicalEditorTheme__link\" href=\"https:\/\/d.nrapvf.org\/dmedia\/1512099\/2025-10th-ortega-opinion.pdf\">struck down<\/a> a waiting period on firearms purchases in August 2025 while overruling a decision in favor of New Mexico by Senior United States District Judge James O. Browning, a George W. Bush appointee.<\/p>\n<p class=\"LexicalEditorTheme__paragraph\">In Daniel Defense v. Lowy, a federal district judge tossed the lawsuit, and the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit sided with Lowy, prompting the firearms company to appeal to the Supreme Court in August, citing a conflict with other federal appellate courts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"LexicalEditorTheme__paragraph\">However, a \u201ccircuit split\u201d does not guarantee that the high court will agree to hear the case. The justices elected to deny a hearing in Johnson v. United States, a case where a man indicted for being a felon in possession of a firearm. The underlying felony conviction involved growing marijuana.<\/p>\n<div class=\"disclaimer\">\n<p>All content created by the Daily Caller News Foundation, an independent and nonpartisan newswire service, is available without charge to any legitimate news publisher that can provide a large audience.
