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 from Guns & Gadgets discusses 'Jamie's Law,' a proposed bill that would expand federal background checks to include ammunition purchases.
