Frequently Asked Questions

What is New York's proposed ten-day waiting period for firearm purchases?

New York Senate Bill S362 and Assembly Bill A3233 would mandate a ten-day waiting period after a firearm purchase and background check before the buyer can take possession of the firearm, regardless of the background check's outcome.

Why do gun control advocates support waiting periods?

Proponents claim waiting periods enhance public safety by allowing more time for background checks to be fully processed and by potentially stopping impulsive acts of violence. They argue it provides a 'cooling off' period.

What is the argument against New York's proposed ten-day waiting period?

Critics argue the FBI's NICS system is instantaneous, making the waiting period unnecessary for background checks. They contend it's political cover for 'access control' that hinders law-abiding citizens and may violate Second Amendment rights under the Bruen decision.

Do waiting periods stop criminals from acquiring firearms?

The argument is that waiting periods do not deter criminals, as they typically obtain firearms through illegal channels like the black market, where such regulations do not apply. The measures primarily impact law-abiding citizens.
