A Right Delayed

Yesterday, New Mexico gun owners won a huge victory at the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals in the case Ortega v Grisham. The lawsuit was brought on behalf of several New Mexico residents supported by the NRA, Mountain States Legal Foundation and other groups. The plaintiffs attempted to buy a gun on the first day the 7-day firearm waiting period law went into effect last year. While they passed the background check and paid for their firearms, they were not able to take their guns home with them due to the new law. [More]

We’ve already touched on this but I though it best to hear directly from the people affected.

Another One Bites the Dust

All in all, there is hardly any evidence that handgun waiting period laws make a difference in homicides or suicides… As far as suicides are concerned, they have no effect on either gun suicide rates or total suicide rates. [More]

Another prohibitionist bit of calculated misdirection, that is…

Everybody here is totally aware of Gun Facts and relies on it as a go-to resource, right?

A Temporary Respite

The First Circuit has DENIED Maine’s motion to stay the preliminary injunction against the state’s firearm waiting period, which means the law can’t be enforced while the appeal continues. [More]

Mr. Wolf…? (NSFW!)

There’s a long way to go to the Supremes, who haven’t exactly been eager to weigh in of late, especially with no final judgment or conflict between circuits…

A New York State of Mind

The New York State Senate passed legislative measures to advance responsible and effective firearm regulation. The proposed legislation will provide funding for anti-violence education in schools, add reasonable restrictions to the open carry of long guns, establish a ten-day waiting period for firearm purchases, establish a voluntary waiver of the right to purchase firearms, hold firearm industry members accountable for unreasonable conduct, and expand the list of who can petition for Extreme Risk Protection Orders (ERPOs). [More]

Here’s to the day when such public bragging of deprivation of rights under color of law is seen as a confession of guilt not protected by the Speech and Debate clause…

A Right Delayed

California already has a law currently being challenged as unconstitutional based on a 10 day waiting period. A new law that just too effect Jan 1 2024 authorizes California to extend that 10 days up to another 30 for transfers. [Watch]

The bastards don’t even pretend to give “shall not be infringed” any notice.

And if someone gets killed while waiting…?

Commiesense Gun Laws

The bulk of Saturday night’s debate was over three failed amendments introduced by Republicans which sought to circumvent the waiting period for active duty military, people who have obtained a family violence protection order and those who pass a background check before the waiting period is over. [More]

So basically, thank you for your service, listen better to your man next time, and f*** you.

The Green Mountain Grift

Gun rights groups sue Vermont over two firearms laws – The lawsuit challenges the state’s newly passed 72-hour waiting period for firearms purchases and a ban on high-capacity magazines that became law in 2018. [More]

I remember when permitless carry was called “Vermont carry” and it set the standard.

I wonder what Ethan Allen would think of Democrats.

And Vichycon swine.

No Fool Like an Old Fool

Federal judge upholds Colorado’s waiting period for firearm purchases [More]

So this Carter holdover dismissed Clayton Cramer’s fact-based analysis as “ad hominem” and went with the career prohibitionist, and said we need rights delayed because there might be drunks and it took time to manufacture guns back then…? What about if the gun was ready for sale?

Here’s the opinion.

What a subversive old fool.

Intolerable Acts

Colorado gun control bills progress; semi-auto ban unlikely … The other gun-control proposals that have found broad Democratic support include strengthening red-flag laws, raising the firearm purchasing age to 21, opening the gun industry up to legal liability and installing a three-day waiting period after buying a gun. [More]

Just like the Founders intended!

David B. Kopel addresses the “many false and deceptive statements” the antis are using to try and swindle the citizenry out of its semiautos.
