This video from Guns & Gadgets analyzes New York's proposed ten-day waiting period for all firearm purchases, even after a successful background check. The speaker, an experienced firearms instructor, argues this bill (S362/A3233) is unconstitutional and infringes on Second Amendment rights, citing the Bruen decision. The analysis highlights that such waiting periods do not deter criminals and primarily impact law-abiding citizens seeking self-defense. The video urges viewers to contact their legislators to oppose this measure, as New York often sets precedents for other states.
This video details a lawsuit filed by the NRA and other plaintiffs against Florida's mandatory 3-day waiting period for firearm purchases.

The case hinges on the Supreme Court's Bruen decision and its emphasis on historical tradition.
This video discusses a legal challenge against Maine's 72-hour firearm waiting period, arguing it violates the Second Amendment. Twenty-eight state Attorneys General have filed an amicus brief supporting the plaintiffs, asserting that such laws infringe on the right to acquire firearms for self-defense without historical precedent. The brief emphasizes that the Second Amendment protects acquisition, not just possession, and that Maine's law fails the Bruin test by not having historical roots.
A federal court in Maine has ruled that the state's 72-hour waiting period for firearm purchases is unconstitutional. The court found that this waiting period infringes upon the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms, echoing the principles established in the landmark Heller and Bruen decisions. This ruling could set a precedent for similar laws in other states.
