And both of these are well within the control of these individuals.
I don’t think the number “48” appears anywhere in the United States Constitution, and it definitely does not appear adjacent to the words “hour” and “waiting period” in the 2nd Amendment.
Walker is just a big flip flopper! pro amnesty! He’s exactly like Romney! /s
Just wanted to get my dig in before the anti walker freepers comment.
I wonder how many times the author has seen the combatants call time out to shop the local gun store. His premise is absurd.
Let’s have Constitution Carry while we’re at it. Why do I need a permit, and spend money, to access my second amendment right. The libs get exorcised over photo ID for voting, calling the cost of its acquisition a poll tax. Why is the cost of my CC permit any less heinous? (Rhetorical question, of course)
A 48 hour waiting period to exercise the right to keep and bear arms is as unconstitutional as the same waiting period to exercise the right to free speech. Walker should push for and sign a repeal of that useless and unconstitutional infringement of our God-given rights.
James Causey uses the leftist assumption: anything not allowed by law should be forbidden.
His question, why should Wisconsin repeal its 48 hour waiting period presupposes that all regulation is good, that there are no costs, and that any gun restriction is a good gun restriction.
For a person who believes in limited government, all of those assumptions are false.
Does a person have to be licensed to use a gun before they can purchase one? I could see the point of a 48-hour hold to get some basic training on gun safety and use if the purchaser wasn't already licensed to use that firearm.
“One question: Why?”
The question should be asked of imposing the wait, not removing it.
Rights do not need to be justified or explained.
If you get pulled over, it takes a cop about 5 minutes to find out if you’re a felon. Allow gun store owners to run an immediate check with dispatch like a cop can and preventing sales to felons is now mitigated (of course, they’ll still get them on the black market).
I believe there are more good guys than bad guys, hence we’re better off if everyone is armed.
What a stupid argument.
Anyone who is going to hold onto their anger long enough to drive to a gun store, fill out the paperwork to buy a gun and then return to the scene without having second thoughts is going to be able to nurse their anger for 48 hours.
I there a 48-hour waiting period for an abortion in Wisconsin?
Because "waiting periods" are petty tyranny. Because the State of Wisconsin has zero authority to impose "waiting periods". Because We the People are fed up with nanny-state assholes like you, Jimmy.
So, once again, 99.9% of us has to suffer because .1% of us can't control themselves.
This shows just how bankrupt liberalism is. It’s the same vacuous argument that you cannot be trusted with your life.
Milwaukee journal Sentinel, and others, want Wlker to keep 48 hr. witing period to get guns in place.
FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this wisconsin interest ping list.
Whenever you go to buy a firearm, you have to have the FEDERAL background check, phoned in by the gun shop, and the results back, BEFORE you can buy the firearm.
That might take a few minutes, a few hours, a few days, depending on each of us, separately.
So, let THAT dictate ‘the waiting period’, which has been installed by local politicians, for more control, of you.
In the author's imagination, possibly. However, he should have the courtesy to cite a single case where someone got mad, went out and purchased a firearm from a licensed dealer, took it home, and shot someone immediately. Because if that has never happened, the waiting period is completely superfluous, isn't it?
