The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has overturned a lower-court decision that would have struck down a 10-day waiting period for certain firearm purchases. The lower-court decision would have allowed existing gun owners and people with concealed-weapons permits to immediately take possession of a lawfully purchased firearm.
[Snip]
9th Circuit Judge Mary Schroeder ... said someone who already owns a hunting rifle may want to buy a larger-capacity weapon that will do more damage when fired into a crowd.
"A 10-day cooling-off period would serve to discourage such conduct and would impose no serious burden on the core Second Amendment right of defense of the home," Schroeder said.

You Freepers got to admit ... a 10-day cooling-off period will definitely stop all crime.
Couldn’t the same argument be used with cars and trucks, seeing as ISIS has used them as weapons more effectively than guns.
Prosecute seditious traitors refusing to uphold their oath to the Constitution.
"A 10-day cooling-off period would serve to discourage such conduct and would impose no serious burden on the core Second Amendment right of defense of the home," Schroeder said.
If someone is wacked out enough to want to fire into a crowd why would you think a 10 wait is going to make a difference. An act like that isn't a "heat of the moment" type of offense. And besides, I think a hunting rifle could potentially do much more damage as they are generally much more powerful rifles.
I would just put a sign in my window saying:
“I will have a gun any day now so stay out!” <src
[[(9th Circus) Court Says Californians Need (10 days) to Cool Off After Gun Buy]]
Yeah because I’m pretty sure the constitution said “The right to bear arms... AFTER a 10 day waiting period, and AFTER close intense scrutiny by each state’s self righteous so and sos- AND after you comply with certain regulations, AND after you pass a mental health exam, AND after you promise not to purchase clips that hold more than 7 rounds, AND after you dispose of any folding stock, AND after you......... and so on and so forth
This is bad. I usually need 11 days to cool down after wanting to kill someone..
There is a two step solution solution to this idiocy.
1.) Break up the Ninth Circuit into two or more smaller circuits.
2.) Ensure that the court of whatever circuit California winds up in is not in San Francisco. Nor Sacramento or LA either, try Fresno.
If a person already owned a gun, they could use it a crime of violence.
There’s no justification for requiring ten days for a so-called cooling off period.
The Ninth Circuit Court judges these things using childhood level logic.

I’d certainly support a ten day cooling off period for all rulings from the 9th circus...
10 day waiting period to buy a gun.
Same day service for an abortion.
Seems about right, California.
The wait elimination is for CCW holders.
They ALREADY have guns.
(PS That hunting rifle guy can’t get a CCW using that rifle, it has to be ‘concealable’.)
A right deferred is a right denied.
Cash and carry.

Was never about “cooling off” It’s about tyranny... Kind of like the judges moronic statement that the 2nd amendment’s “core” is defense of the home.
Using incrementalism, the intent is to regulate and redefine the 2nd amendment into hunting rights, or some such nonsense with one bullet breach-loaders under lock and key of the court, that you can check out any time you want to shoot a squirrel.
This judge fully knows the intent of the 2nd amendment. That’s the reason to lead with the lie.
Actually, I’d really love to see the 9th circus answer some very simple questions:
Why isn’t there a background check and a ten day waiting period for an officer to be issued a firearm? Do they actually support a separate set of regulations and rules for citizens who also happen to be public employees vs the rest of the population?
What steps would the average citizen have to complete to have access to these same separate segment of rules? Or in other words, what steps would a person have to take to be treated equally under the laws with a member of law enforcement?
The legal gymnastics that they’d have to undergo to justify the current system would likely be the most effective weight loss system the 9th Circuit has ever had.
Likely unconstitutional unless CA posts a bond for restitution of victims attacked while waiting for cool-off period to expire.
Sure. Most people who intend to commit mass murder are going to change their minds after the 11th day. And if this proves not to be the case, the legislators can always adjust that timeframe to 20 days... or several years.
And obviously, a person who has been receiving death threats can rest assured that such people will respect the 10 day waiting period before carrying out such attacks.
It’s awesome to have judges like the 9th circuit who not only adapt the Constitution to present-day circumstances but also help clarify it in areas the founders overlooked and never thought of.
No one believes this. Including the Judges of the Ninth. Which begs the question: Why are they always trying to prevent the citizenry from being armed?
