The National Rifle Association (NRA) has filed an amicus brief in a case challenging Maines 72-hour waiting period for firearm purchases. The case, Beckwith v. Frey, has already seen a federal district court ruling that the law likely violates the Second Amendment. The NRA argues that the law unjustifiably infringes on the right to possess arms by mandating a waiting period for all firearm purchases. The association insists that such restrictions do not align with historical practices and are not supported by Supreme Court precedent. The First Circuit Court of Appeals is now considering whether the law should be permanently enjoined.
