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 |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
