I think waiting periods are the stupidest things ever.

I probably wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for a waiting period. If they gave me a gun when I wanted it, bad things could have happened.

Waiting periods of a few days for first-time buyers help prevent crimes of passion and suicide.

But waiting as long as 30 days or waiting if you already own a gun are dumb.

Not to sound harsh,but I think “I would have made bad things happen” would be a more appropriate phrase.

Does that mean that you decided not to complete a purchase and that you don't own a gun today?
