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 |
| "Secrecy is the keystone of all tyranny. Not force, but secrecy ... censorship. When any government, or any church, for that matter, undertakes to say to it's subjects, 'This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know,' the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives. Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free. No, not the rack, not fission bombs, not anything. You cannot conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him." --Robert A. Heinlein, "Revolt in 2100" (Pg. 68-69, Baen Books paperback edition, 1999 printing) |
