Colorado’s law is not just a waiting period on the right to possess peaceably purchased property. It is a delay on safety itself. On October 1st, Colorado’s new 3-day waiting period law went into effect as passed by the state’s legislature and Governor Jared Polis, requiring those who purchase a firearm to wait three days before acquiring the gun. That is, once a citizen has passed a federal background check, a state background check, and paid for a firearm upfront, the government then mandates an additional 72-hour delay prior to taking possession of a firearm.
