A few days ago the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals invalidated the New Mexico waiting period for firearms purchases.  It was the opinion of the court that it is unconstitutional in view of the Bruen decision and the lack of historical record.

The New Mexico governor, who is a notorious gun hater, has announced a planned appeal.  

The case has been sent back to the trial court which will, presumably, overturn the law based on instructions from the 10th Circuit.

Gun hating states without instant background checks (i.e. California) will undoubtedly scream like mashed cats if this makes it all the way thru.
