A short waiting period, which is what we have.
I don't know if I favor the Brady Law or not.
But gun-rights advocates don't help themselves
with the public when they whine about "90 minutes" of trouble for the purchaser.
Any time a person who has a right to acquire a firearm and would have gotten it in the absense of government-created hassles, doesn't get one, that person's rights have been infringed.
Further, I would have to ask: under what cirumstances would a person be so dangerous that they could not be trusted with a gun, and could not be trusted not to buy one, and yet not be so dangerous as to justify imprisonment?
Why is it that many liberals are keen on letting criminals walk the street, and yet are supposedly so concerned about them getting guns that they impose hassles for all the honest people? Shouldn't the rights of honest people outweigh those of criminals? Or is hassling the honest people the real goal in the first place?
