The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit has ruled that New Mexico's seven-day waiting period for firearm purchases is unconstitutional, likely violating the Second Amendment. The decision came in the case Ortega v. Grisham, which was brought by the National Rifle Association (NRA) and the Mountain States Legal Foundation (MSLF), with support from the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF). The court's ruling blocks the enforcement of the waiting period, which required gun buyers in New Mexico to wait seven days before taking possession of their newly purchased firearms. This ruling is seen as a victory for gun rights advocates and is part of the NRA's ongoing efforts to challenge gun control measures.
