1. Is this the backlash we constantly hear about? nt.

3. Doesn't sound like it to me.

'After considering the evidence and the arguments, the Court concludes that Penal Code §
26815(a) and § 27540(a)‟s 10-day waiting periods impermissibly violate the Second Amendment
as applied to those persons who already lawfully possess a firearm as confirmed by the AFS, to
those who possess a valid CCW license, and to those who possess both a valid COE and a firearm
as confirmed by the AFS system, if the background check on these individuals is completed and
approved prior to the expiration of 10 days.'

2. ' Plaintiffs do not challenge the 10-day waiting period on

a facial basis, do not challenge the waiting period laws as applied to first time firearms purchasers,
and do not challenge the requirement that firearm purchasers pass a background check. . .

5. Good it was crazy

when the person purchasing a firearm already has one and is made to wait ten days anyway.

6. Licensing works. Registration, waiting periods, magazine limits and the AWB does not.

Canada is also loosening gun laws.

8. More "Backlash" - Federal Judge Strikes Down Baton Rouge Gun Law

BATON ROUGE, LA (WAFB) - A federal judge Monday struck down a Baton Rouge gun law calling it unconstitutional.

The 1962 Ordinance reads in short “no guns allowed anywhere alcohol is sold and/or consumed—including the parking lots of grocery or convenience stores.”

It's that law that BRPD officers used to arrest Ernest Taylor in October 2012 despite Taylor telling police upfront about the guns and having proper paperwork.

“I got papers on them,” Taylor says.

“It doesn't matter if you have papers or not, you're not supposed to have a weapon in your vehicle,” the officer says.

The 9 News Investigators asked BRPD about the ordinance last month – a spokesperson said BRPD will enforce it as long as it's on the books.

Taylor took his case to federal court and won.
