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.

The National Rifle Association (NRA) has filed a lawsuit challenging Delaware's new 'Permit to Purchase' law for handguns. This law requires residents to obtain a two-year permit, which involves completing an 11-part training course, fingerprinting, and other requirements. A significant hurdle identified is the requirement to possess a firearm to complete the training course, which is paradoxical as one cannot purchase a firearm without the permit first.
