In the wake of commonsense prevailing over the existence of anti-firearm restrictive mandates, the state of Florida and the NRA have sent a message to the unpatriotic and vitriolic.
On Friday Attorney General James Uthmeier announced that the state would settle in a legal battle with the NRA. The gun rights organization filed a lawsuit in August of 2025 challenging a 3-day waiting period to purchase firearms, which is blatantly unconstitutional in the aftermath of the precedent setting Bruen decision in the Supreme Court. The case was heard in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida.
Uthmeier took to social media to applaud the victory for Second Amendment advocates. “Every government office, including mine, exists to protect your God-given rights as enshrined in the U.S. Constitution,” Uthmeier posted on X. “That’s why we’re settling a landmark federal case that declares Florida’s 3-day firearm purchase waiting period unconstitutional under the Second Amendment.”
The Florida AG had insinuated in recent weeks that he supported a resolution in the matter with both parties coming to an agreement.
The NRA responded to the news that fundamental freedoms would not be compromised, at least for now.
“Florida’s Attorney General James Uthmeier, Law Enforcement Commissioner Mark Glass, and the State Attorneys are standing up for Constitutional rights and their constituents,” NRA-ILA Executive Director said. “By entering into this agreement with us, they have affirmed that Florida’s three-day firearm waiting period is unconstitutional and violates the Second Amendment. Law-abiding Floridians should never be delayed from exercising their fundamental rights. This is a major victory, and we look forward to the court permanently striking down this restriction.”
