Scott Walker supports eliminating 48-hour waiting period for handgun purchases

No..no...no... I'm saying if somebody is so angry they want to kill somebody..., now read the sentence I posted.

...they could just get a kitchen knife, or a baseball bat from the garage, or if they are really mad, a shovel from the shed/Home Depot, and have a 'tool' that can handle two jobs.

The two jobs are killing the (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*) of their anger, and disposing of the body afterwards. Why anybody digs a shallow grave is beyond me, unless, they are just too damn lazy to do the job right.

Thank you!

 

I am not a criminal, nor suicidal. I should be able to buy what I want when I want.

Ohio has no waiting period yet the bodies are not piling up.

The only new law I would support is a background check at gun shows. In the age of the cell phone there is no reason why a gun dealer cannot perform the same check they run at the store.

Most of better gun shops already do this at shows now.

 

But reaaly, who cares? whats the big deal if you get it today, or wait til thursday?

Not according to this guy

If it applies , it applies to both sides of the question.

 

Go shop at Sears and then have to drive back two days later for a pair of pants. It's retarded.

 

what 48 hour waiting period ? There are only about 10 states that have any waiting period at all

Walker is scaring the bejeezuz out of you progressives isn't he ?

 

Yep, its a NO BRAINER alright! No character. No COMMON SENSE. No brains. (It should be a LONGER waiting period).

 

I have a CCL which means that I have undergone a State and Federal background check that shows that I have no criminal record and that I have never been judged to be mentally ill. So why should I have to wait for 2 days before I could get another hand gun?? Give us one reason that a waiting period of any time will stop a person from harming a person or killing them.

 

No brain, no character, no common sense. Sounds like a gun grabber.

 

I'm not following you. I though you said he would make supporters upset by removing the ban?

 

So,if i want to sell a gun to my brother,dad,son,daughter,mom, sister,people that I have known all m y life,you think a background check is warranted? Tell me how this is not a huge infringement upon on 2nd amendment rights?

 

Just wonder how you think people survived without this before 1995 or so?

 

Why should there a waiting periods at all? 20-30 minutes is acceptable when doing a NCIC check,but having to wait days is absurd.

 

What they are telling you is classic projection. They don't trust themselves so think everyone is like themselves.

 

So you think it's better they buy a more powerful rifle or shotgun when they are still pissed off or suicidal? There is no wait in Wisconsin (or most other states) to buy a long gun.

That said, I've seen gun dealers refuse to sell guns at gun shows to people that were agitated and obviously pissed off. For the most part, the gun dealers I've met are ex or retired cops or military. They don't want to arm bad guys.

I have no problem with it, but it is useless to stop crime. I think it's silly. I already own handguns. Why should I have to wait to buy another one? How does that stop criminals or the misuse of guns? Also, there are cases where people should legitimately be allowed to buy a gun on short notice--such as a woman who has been threatened by an ex-boyfriend. Why should she have to wait 48 hours in fear to buy a handgun?

 

Most of the time, nothing. But what about a woman who has been threatened by the man she just broke up with? Should she have to wait several days to buy a handgun?

 

I'm not certain what you are saying here? Are you saying that by supporting the elimination of a 48 hr waiting period to buy a handgun, that it is going to hurt him in the GOP Presidential nomination? Please explain how that works. Being in support of a pro-gun bill hurts him in getting the GOP nomination?

 

The answer, of course, is yes. She might be angry that her ex is angry and climbing through the window to kill her. She might shoot him.

BTW, I worked for a guy that had custody of his sisters kids because this is exactly what happened to her.

 

That's what I find in most of my gun control arguments. The majority of people in favor of gun control are people that woudln't trust people like themselves with guns. There are exceptions to this, of course.

 

This is what happens when you have college dropouts.

 

"Scott Walker supports eliminating 48-hour waiting period for handgun purchases "

as do I, I also support eliminating background checks, as it's a right all Americans have..... no need for background checks to make sure one has the right

if owning a gun was a privilege like driving a car, then background checks would make sense, but it's not a privilege, it's a right

.

 

It's serves no purpose. Especially if you can buy a rifle same day, but not a handgun.

 

I have seven guns and I got all seven within minutes of buying them. They call up local authorities and check my record and then close the sale.

I disagree with you there. Everyone should have a background check.

 

so you think owning a gun is a privilege rather then a right?

 

Criminals buying guns from stores before the background check in 95 or so was a minute portion of purchases to begin with. Again, it was another solution looking for a problem.

 

Another reason to like the guy...
