Washington Gun Law President, William Kirk, discusses yet another impact of New York Pistol & Rifle Assoc. v. Bruen and how this ruling could affect mandatory waiting periods that exist in Washington and several other states. When previously challenged, in cases such as Sylvester v. Becerra, which was a challenge to California's mandatory waiting periods. In Sylvester, the 9th Circuit overturned the lower court's ruling, in favor of the plaintiff, by applying the now soundly rejected, Intermediate Scrutiny.
