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 |
| Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. — James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46 |
