Well, folks, Colorado's latest attempt to chip away at our Second Amendment rights just got its day in court—and let me tell you, the state's arguments are something else.
Colorado's defending their three-day waiting period for firearm purchases, basically arguing that if a three-day background check is constitutional, then a three-day wait to actually get your gun should be fine too. Really? That's their best defense?
But here's where it gets laughable. The state's attorney tried to argue that acquiring a firearm is completely different from possessing one. Yeah, you heard that right. They want the court to believe you can have a right to own a gun but no right to actually get one in the first place.
That's like saying I have a right to own a unicorn but can't acquire one. Utter nonsense. If I can't buy a gun, can't be given one, and can't make one myself, then what good is my theoretical right to own one?
The plaintiff's attorney called the state's argument "ridiculous" and even chuckled at the absurdity. I don't blame him.
And here's the kicker—this directly conflicts with the Supreme Court's ruling in Wolford, which said the government can't separate someone from their gun, even for a lunch break. So how is a three-day waiting period any different?
The writing's on the wall. If this is the best argument Colorado can muster, that waiting period is going down. And honestly? Good riddance. We've got enough obstacles between law-abiding citizens and their constitutional rights.
Editor's Note: The anti-gun crowd keeps throwing everything at the wall hoping something sticks. We're making sure it doesn't.
