Videos tagged with Colorado Waiting Period

The 10th Circuit Court of Appeals has struck down New Mexico's 7-day statutory waiting period for firearm purchases in Ortega v. Luhan Gisham. The court ruled that such waiting periods burden the Second Amendment right to acquire firearms and are not historically analogous to permissible regulations. This decision has significant implications for similar laws in other states, including Colorado.

This video analyzes a Colorado federal judge's decision regarding a 3-day firearm waiting period, arguing it misapplies Second Amendment law. The speaker contends that the right to acquire firearms is an ancillary right necessarily implied by the text of the Second Amendment, similar to how the First Amendment protects the right to acquire paper and ink. The analysis emphasizes that 'infringed' at the time of the founding meant to 'hinder' or 'destroy,' making any barrier to acquisition a potential infringement.

This video critically examines a US District Court judge's interpretation of the Second Amendment, specifically regarding Colorado's firearm waiting period law. The speaker, an expert in firearms and legal analysis, argues that the judge's reasoning, which separates the right to 'keep and bear arms' from the right to 'obtain' them, misinterprets historical context and Supreme Court precedent like Heller v. D.C. The analysis delves into the definitions of 'keep' and 'bear' and critiques the judge's reliance on expert opinions that allegedly ignore historical firearm acquisition practices.
