全国射击运动基金会起诉新墨西哥州总检察长：要求叫停购枪七天等待期执法
新墨西哥州 Santa Fe——全国射击运动基金会（NSSF）10月20日宣布提起诉讼，请求法院宣告并禁令阻止新墨西哥州总检察长 Raúl Torrez 继续执行该州购枪七天等待期法律。该法要求，守法购枪者在通过联邦调查局全国即时犯罪背景核查系统（NICS）核查后，仍须等待七天才能取得所购枪支。
NSSF 高级副总裁兼总法律顾问 Lawrence G. Keane 在声明中称，新墨西哥州州长 Michelle Lujan Grisham 与总检察长 Torrez 在联邦法院两度裁定该等待期法律违宪后，仍继续执行该法。Keane 称：「罪犯不会在零售店购枪，也不会在非法取得枪支前接受等待期。这部违宪法律只影响行使宪法购枪与持枪权利的守法公民。」
NSSF 表示有信心胜诉。截至发稿，新墨西哥州方面未在该声明中作出回应；该州等待期法律目前仍在执行中，案件后续由联邦法院审理。
Shooting Sports Foundation Sues New Mexico's Attorney General to Block Enforcement of the Seven-Day Gun Purchase Waiting Period
Santa Fe, New Mexico — The National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF), the firearm industry trade association, filed a lawsuit on October 20 seeking declaratory and injunctive relief against New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez over the state's continued enforcement of its seven-day "cooling off" period, which applies after a buyer passes an FBI National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) check to purchase a firearm.
"New Mexico's Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham and Attorney General Raúl Torrez are blatantly and unconstitutionally enforcing New Mexico's seven-day waiting period law, despite it having twice been held to violate Second Amendment rights of law-abiding New Mexicans," said Lawrence G. Keane, NSSF's senior vice president and general counsel. "Criminals do not purchase firearms at retail and do not submit to a waiting period before illegally obtaining a gun. This unconstitutional law only impacts law-abiding citizens seeking to exercise their constitutional rights to purchase and possess a firearm for lawful purposes."
NSSF said it is confident it will prevail in court. The waiting-period law remains in force while the case proceeds in federal court.
