Although it's disgusting that any so-called "gun safety" legislation passes at all, the 24hr wait isn't that controversial.
For example, Pennsylvania has had a 48hr waiting period between purchase and delivery of handguns since Shep was a pup. It was in place when I bought my first handgun in 1967, and had been for quite awhile before then.
Waiting is a pain in the butt, but such laws are not unheard of, not even in gun-friendly states like PA.
Waiting period laws become egregious, however, when they extend to 10, or 15, or 20 or more days. They can't be rationalized by "cooling off" or "background check" nonsense, and their purpose is specifically to harass gun owners.
But 24hrs? A mere hangnail. |

TO REMEMBER |
| The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to permit the conquered Eastern peoples to have arms. History teaches that all conquerors who have allowed their subject races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by doing so. Indeed I would go so far as to say that the underdog is a sine qua non for the overthrow of any sovereignty. So let's not have any native militia or police. German troops alone will bear the sole responsibility for the maintenance of law and order. — Adolf Hitler, April 11, 1942. (Source: "Hitler's Table-Talk at the Fuehrer's Headquarters 1941-1942", Dr. Henry Picker, ed. (Athenaeum Verlag, Bonn, 1951).) |
