The U.S. Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled New Mexico's seven-day waiting period for firearm purchases unconstitutional in the case Ortega v. Grisham. The decision, supported by the National Rifle Association (NRA), the Mountain States Legal Foundation, and the National Shooting Sports Foundation, found the waiting period likely infringes on Second Amendment rights. Meanwhile, the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the structure of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) is likely unconstitutional, blocking the NLRB from prosecuting unfair labor practice cases against SpaceX and other companies. This ruling was authored by Judge Kyle Duncan and has drawn criticism from some political figures. Additionally, the Eleventh Circuit has indicated that a federal law barring illegal drug users from owning guns may be unconstitutional when applied to medical marijuana users, a development echoed by the Fifth Circuit. Florida is urging the Supreme Court to hear NRA v. Glass, challenging the ban on gun purchases by adults under 21, citing historical evidence that young adults were trusted to bear arms.
The 11th Circuit ruled that a federal law that bars illegal drug users from owning guns potentially could be deemed unconstitutional when it’s applied to medical marijuana users. Learn more in The Daily Docket. Subscribe: https://t.co/DK2SuNtAm4 https://t.co/7rhxJwkdof
