Removes capacity limit for ammunition magazines in New Jersey.

This bill removes the capacity limit for ammunition magazines in New Jersey. It amends various sections of statutory law to eliminate the restriction on the number of rounds a magazine can hold. The bill also modifies the definition of "assault firearm" to exclude semi-automatic shotguns and rifles based solely on magazine capacity. Additionally, it repeals sections of law enacted in 2018 concerning the current 10-round limit, as the removal of the capacity limit makes those provisions obsolete.
