California's policy of withholding weapons for 10 days from buyers who previously purchased a gun and clear a background check before the state's waiting period is a reasonable safety precaution that does not violate the Second Amendment, a federal appeals court said Wednesday.
A three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals overturned a lower-court decision that found the law was unconstitutional when applied to existing gun owners and people with concealed-weapons permits who pass the checks before the 10-day waiting period. |

| All background checks or waiting periods are an unconstitunial infringment! |

Several years back, a person whose handle was Defender, wrote the following:
"As for 'reasonable restrictions': 'Respiration being necessary to the health of a living body, the right to breathe air shall not be infringed.' Now, before you can breathe, fill out these forms. Oops, you wrote an N instead of No, so start over. Now I have to make a phone call. You OK? You don't look so good. Great, you passed the instant check. You can pick up your oxygen in three days; state law cooling-off period. Oxygen is an accelerant, they tell me. Gotta keep it out of the wrong hands. Cooling off indeed. To ambient temperature." |

TO REMEMBER |
| "Secrecy is the keystone of all tyranny. Not force, but secrecy ... censorship. When any government, or any church, for that matter, undertakes to say to it's subjects, 'This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know,' the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives. Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free. No, not the rack, not fission bombs, not anything. You cannot conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him." --Robert A. Heinlein, "Revolt in 2100" (Pg. 68-69, Baen Books paperback edition, 1999 printing) |
