10th circuit finds waiting periods unconstitutional

[Scanker19]

Waiting periods make absolutely no sense. They practically eliminated sales from out of state vendors at gun shows, and discourage making a long trip across the state to make a purchase. If you have a CCW there should be no waiting period.

It’s a feature, not a bug.

Also in NM we bypass the wait with a CCw but they also want 14 days and no bypass. But still, you passed a background check. An arbitrary wait for a constitutional RIGHT is asinine.

Background checks (government permission to possess
a tool that restricts government power) should also be eliminated. Only thing that should prevent purchase or possession of a firearm/weapon is that you are incarcerated. Once released, you are considered rehabilitated and all rights should be restored.

All 50 states have a different procedure for restoring rights. Some refuse to do so or make it impossibly difficult, others automatically restore them after 5 or 10 years.

Vermont was the only state not to strip ex offenders of rights. The ATF position was: "Well, technically, if those rights were never taken away THEY WEREN'T RESTORED, so we're arresting you for felon in possession of a firearm federally even though you're legal under state law."
