Gun rights groups in Maine sue over new 72-hour waiting period for gun purchases, citing Second Amendment rights.

Gun rights groups in Maine have sued over a new law requiring a 72-hour waiting period for gun purchases, arguing it violates Second Amendment rights. The lawsuit, filed by the Sportsman's Alliance of Maine and Gun Owners of Maine, claims the law, enacted after a mass shooting, imposes an unconstitutional delay. Supporters of the law say it aims to reduce gun violence, while opponents argue it unfairly delays the rights of law-abiding citizens who have passed background checks.
