ANother stupid anti-gun law in California is ruled Unconstitutional. Currently, law abiding gun owners have to wait 10 days before taking custody of a purchased firearm. It is intended as a 'cooling off' period. The buyer is cleared through NICS while still in the store, but has to come back after 10 days once he's 'cooled down'.
Liberal, communist stupidity at its best. Ig a buyer wanted to harm someone the 10 day wait on anything other than a first purchase, makes the intent moot. They could just go home and use one of their other guns to commit crimes if desired. So the 10 day wait is nothing but a road block to the execution of your second amendment rights. Slowly but surely, the courts are going to weed out the communist, socialist, anti-gun loon attacks on freedom loving Americans
So far, the lower court agrees.

*BREAKING* Federal Judge: California's 10-Day Gun Waiting Period Likely Unconstitutional
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Monday, December 9, 2013
Federal Judge Says California Attorney General Kamala Harris Wrong on Gun Control Laws
Court denies Harris’ arguments and agrees with gun rights group The Calguns Foundation, says state’s firearm waiting period laws fail to meet Constitutional muster
ROSEVILLE, CA -- In a rejection of California Attorney General Kamala Harris’ stance on the rights of law-abiding gun owners, Senior Federal District Court Judge Anthony W. Ishii denied Harris’ motion for summary judgement today in a federal civil rights lawsuit filed by The Calguns Foundation, indicating that California’s 10-day “waiting period” gun laws are likely unconstitutional.
“The fact that a federal judge saw these laws for what they are -- baseless restraints on the exercise of a fundamental civil right -- is monumental,” explained Gene Hoffman, Chairman of The Calguns Foundation. “California’s waiting period laws for those who own guns is not Constitutional and this order really underlines the point.”
In his order, Judge Ishii said that Harris has “not presented sufficient evidence to show that the [10-day waiting period laws] passes either intermediate or strict scrutiny.”
About the laws being challenged in the case, named plaintiff Jeff Silvester of Hanford, California, said, “I have a license to carry a loaded firearm across the State.It is ridiculous that I have to wait another 10 days to pick up a new firearm when I’m standing there in the gun store lawfully carrying one the whole time.”
