NSSF sues New Mexico over seven-day gun waiting period

The National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF), the firearm industry trade association, filed a lawsuit in New Mexico seeking declaratory and injunctive relief against Attorney General Raúl Torrez. The suit argues that the state's seven‑day waiting period for firearms violates constitutional rights.

The filing comes after recent court rulings declared the waiting period unconstitutional and a governor who has not halted its enforcement. The NSSF says the law harms law‑abiding gun owners and asks the court to stop its enforcement.
