US appeals court blocks New Mexico’s 7-day waiting period on gun purchases

  • The Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals issued a preliminary injunction against New Mexico's seven-day waiting period requirement for most gun sales due to concerns about its constitutionality regarding the Second Amendment rights of citizens.
  • The court concluded that New Mexico's Waiting Period Act is likely an unconstitutional burden on the Second Amendment rights of its citizens.
  • The ruling stated that the waiting period law does not fit into any historically grounded exceptions to the right to keep and bear arms.
  • Gun-Rights advocates celebrated the ruling, which addresses divisions among lower courts on similar issues.
