Unfortunately I think you are right. No one at my work cares about guns other than me. Hell, two of them I consider liberals when it comes to gun rights. |

We have a 72hr wait here too. It is incredibly annoying and a major violation of the 2A.
So of course they introduced a 10 day waiting period bill this year. The 3 day was only passed last year and now they claim they need 10 days for “safety.” Erosion is the name of the game. |

I wonder how many people will now go buy a gun just because of this?

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By CS223: Better than Alachua Co Fl. 5 day wait that doesn't include the day you make the purchase, the day you pick it up or weekends & holidays. So 8-10 days in reality. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By CS223: Originally Posted By beruitUSMC0351: Passed overnight by 1 vote with little public debate or awareness.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By mikeyb76: I was pissed when they removed the CPL exemption. My 43x was 14 days. So glad I'm outta there. And why is it all these anti-gun laws are passed in the middle of the night? Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By mikeyb76: Originally Posted By NachoDip: Washington is 10 days now.

And why is it all these anti-gun laws are passed in the middle of the night? Because they know it’s a losing issue and garners protest. They’ll do that shit in the middle of the night when no one is awake, then act like it takes an act of god to remove any such law once enacted. They’re lying, disingenuous pieces of shit. And this “passed by a 1 vote majority” is fucking bullshit. Any new criminal code should require, at a minimum, 80% majority, or higher. This faggotry of political douchewaffles passing partisan laws specifically to punish the folks that don’t vote for them is ridiculous. |

I don't think anyone in Congress really cares about gun rights any more except the gun grabbers on the left. They are more interested in bickering with each other and funding foreign countries so their shithead citizens can walk freely across our Southern Border to bask in the FSA handouts at our expense.

Right. That is how it is most places. The social aspect is the main reason I went. Getting a deer was just a plus. When I lived in Michigan the week before deer season is when all the FUDDs would show up at the public range I went to. I just avoided it and came back later to find all the target stands, posts, roofs destroyed by bullets. Those would be the people inconvenienced by a waiting period and they probably wouldn't care anyway as they only pull their gun out once a year anyway. |
