NM 7-Day Gun Waiting Period Remains On Hold

The seven-day waiting period for gun purchases enacted by the New Mexico Democrats has been effectively ruled unconstitutional by the 10th Circuit Federal Court of Appeals.

A panel of the court ruled the law was unconstitutional last summer but was sent to the full court. But they decided not to re-hear the case. 

From KOB 4:

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – The seven-day waiting period for buying a gun in New Mexico remains on hold due to a Federal Court of Appeals decision.

The 10th Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver, which oversees New Mexico, upheld a ruling from last summer after two individuals and the National Rifle Association challenged the waiting period law. The law, passed by state legislators last year, was found to violate the Second Amendment.

This is definitely a victory for Second Amendment backers in New Mexico.
