D.C. Court Strikes Down Magazine Capacity Cap in Ruling and How That Affects New Jersey’s 10-Round Limit
Trenton, NJ – A major court decision in Washington, D.C. has intensified the national legal fight over firearm magazine limits, potentially setting up a showdown at the U.S. Supreme Court that could impact New Jersey’s 10-round magazine law. In March 2026, the District of Columbia Court of Appeals ruled that the city’s ban on magazines capable of holding more than 10 rounds of ammunition violates the Second Amendment. The court concluded that such magazines are widely owned across the country and therefore qualify as arms that are in “common use,” a key constitutional standard established by the U.S. Supreme Court.
The ruling directly challenges one of the most common firearm restrictions in the United States. Several states, including New Jersey, California, New York and Massachusetts, enforce laws limiting the number of rounds that a firearm magazine can hold. If the issue reaches the Supreme Court, the final decision could reshape gun laws nationwide.
