What's the problem people have with waiting 48 hrs.?
I don't want people going into a store and buying a gun like they would buy a pack of gum. Jesus. I don't know why gun advocates have such a big fuckin' problem with waiting and with background checks. Fuck you fuckin' people.
Most of those laws were put into place when background checks were not instantaneous like they are today with NICS. It was less about reducing crimes of passion, and more about the speed it took to clear someone.
That said, I have no problem with a reasonable waiting period (48-72 hours isn't unreasonable to me).
