California Gun Control Are We A Lost Cause?

Florida is officially dismantling its three-decade-old mandatory three-day waiting period for firearm purchases, a law originally passed by voters in 1990 and expanded after Parkland. The Attorney General has deemed the law unconstitutional, arguing it infringes on Second Amendment rights without effectively deterring criminals. This move is seen as a significant victory for gun owners, removing a barrier to exercising constitutional rights, particularly in emergency self-defense situations.

The US Supreme Court denied certiorari in United States v. Cockerham, a case involving a felony conviction for failing to pay child support and its impact on Second Amendment rights. This decision, authored by Fifth Circuit Judge James Ho, suggests the Supreme Court is moving away from hearing cases with problematic fact patterns involving criminals, favoring those with law-abiding citizens. The denial is seen as a positive signal for Second Amendment jurisprudence, potentially indicating a trend towards protecting the rights of individuals not associated with criminal activity.

This analysis focuses on the upcoming Supreme Court decision in Wolf v. Lopez, which is expected to clarify the application of the Bruin decision regarding Second Amendment rights.

The case is critical for understanding the future of Second Amendment litigation nationwide.

This video discusses a significant legal victory in Florida where Attorney General James Udmeyer agreed to a settlement in the case of Dunn v. Glass, declaring the state's three-day waiting period for handgun acquisition unconstitutional. The ruling, based on the Heller-Bruen methodology, asserts that such waiting periods infringe upon the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens. The analysis highlights the historical lack of precedent for such mandated delays and criticizes their implementation, particularly noting the law's origin shortly after the Parkland school shooting.
