too easy - in your mind every vote for Trump caused every death over the last 4 years - mostly from Covid, just not in reality.

Why would waiting a week have made much of a difference to someone who has apparently had mental problems for some time?  Instead of him killing 8 this week, he could have picked up his gun next week and killed them then, orhe could have gotten a gun easily through other illegal means - but I am sure that someone who decided to go kill people would not resort to stealing or purchasing a gun illegally - or just using a knife or his car.  The problem is you thnk that the background check, or a waiting period is going to stop a criminal from doing criminal things, life and history tells us that someone who wants to do bad will find a way.  If you removed every gun on the planet would that stop murder, suicide and crimes?

All I was saying is that why is it OK to limit one right but not another?  Do we need waiting periods, permits and background checks for free speech? Why is it OK to require a ID for the right to firearms, but it is racist to require an ID to vote because demonrats have determined that POC and minorities are too stupid to figure out how to get one.  Since women and asians are being reported as buying firearms at record rates, would it not stand to reason that you are the racist for requiring them to produce ID so that they can feel safe?  You show this GA criminal as proof we need waiting periods - but feel free to google Carol Bowne who was killed while waiting on a New Jersey gun permit because she had a restraining order out against a criminal and did not feel safe.  I guess the 30 day to 3 month wait for approval to be able to purchase a gun for her safety in your eyes is a good thing since she was not shot - just stabbed to death in her drive way.  Criminals will always do bad things.

The new rules do not have waiting periods before you get your gun, since he walked out with it, he passed the background check period.  If there was any question the rules currently allow for up to a 3 day hold while they dive deeper into someone and only plans to extend that out to 10 days.

The fact that he walked out of the gun shop with the gun would not have changed in that case.  You are ignorant of the law as well as the proposed changes - but again your ignorace is not a new thing.

I think it is hysterical that you read the things you detest so much prior to logging in so that you can be a part of the converstation while still claiming to ignore.  "I hate what you post so much I am going to block it, but then I make sure to read it and post about it"  That is some serious stupid right there.  I would, like MM,  ignore you because you are such an a$$hat, but sadly I would miss the thoughful and often funny responses to you also which is the only reason I do not ignore anyone, because while you are are really an incurable dumba$$, seeing what people post in response brightens my day.
