Videos tagged with Statutory Waiting Periods

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 from Washington Gun Law TV, hosted by William Kirk, discusses critical legislative updates impacting gun rights in Washington State. It highlights two key bills, HB 1240 (assault weapons ban) and HB 1143 (pre-purchasing licensing and extended waiting periods), and urges viewers to participate in upcoming public hearings on March 23rd. The host emphasizes the urgency and the potential for these bills to significantly alter Second Amendment rights in the state.
