A waiting period to purchase an AR is fvcking stupid. None of the shooters went on a rampage immediately after purchasing their gun. They have it for a good time and practice and plan.
I’d love to see Congress take the Gun Ban bill to the floor for a vote

The point is to make it more difficult to obtain the weapon. Like I said, we have to try something if not a lot of things to address this issue. Since you didn't like my idea, share some of your own without using the NRA talking points as your platform or a crutch.
Just because kkkcunty shops dicks everyday doesnt mean every future mass murderer does.
Why the hostility? Have I publicly attacked you like that?
It most certainly is about feelings. It's a "feeling" that banning a certain type of gun will prevent school shootings, as there's no data or sound logic to support it.
But be a dick to me all you want, it's not going to change my stance.
Trying something... without thinking about the consequences.... gets this country in trouble time and time again. How about we calmly think about real solutions that can have a real impact immediately and won't require a constitutional fight.
Why do we have to try “something”?
We have 40-50 mass shootings a year? Of those really only 1-2 are senseless assassinations like the schools, the rest are murder/suicides and crime related to gang activity.
In a population of 300+ million, we don’t have a problem that needs a gun ban related solution. You keep harping on NRA talking points yet I’m not in the NRA. YOU keep parroting Gun Control talking points and don’t address any date that counters your argument.
Parroting gun control points???....nice try junior. I have no interest in gun "control." There is a difference between common sense restrictions and control. You just lack the ability to understand that difference.
yeah raising the drinking age to 21 sure got this country into trouble.......great call.
A waiting period doesn't make it harder to obtain the weapon. I'd like to know how many people have purchased a weapon that doesn't require a waiting period and then immediately used it to shoot someone?
Add mental health to the background check
Add some sort of red flag process with due process
Look into the connection of violent behavior and violent media - movies, games, etc.
Enforce existing laws or remove them from the books
I'm not picking on you, your post just reminded me of one of the things that angers me in this whole situation.
It is so f'ucking ridiculous that Congress is talking about passing a law to enforce the existing laws we already have in place. Yes, that's a **** show.
Ok.....use fully automatic weapons as an example. There are substantial restrictions there but nobody seems to mind.
If gun control was the answer to gun violence, Chicago should be a paradise.
Chicago recorded 286 shooting incidents and 78 slayings through the first two months of 2018.

Yeah we'll see how that works out for them. Ask a couple of baker's out west if they can limit who they sell to based on a protected class.
Because discriminating against gay people is exactly like having a policy setting an age limit. LOL!
The age is an arbitrary determination by the seller...just like the baker arbitrarily determining he didn't want to sell to gay couples.
