Anti-gun nuts tout the benefits of having a ‘cooling off period’ after buying a gun, as if everyone who buys a gun is angry, or likely to use it in anger. You have already passed a background check and have skipped buying it from the corner drug and illegal arms dealer, so why impose an extra burden? Hell if I know, non of what they do makes sense to me.

To further illustrate the idiocy of a waiting period we have this story which comes to us from The Smallest Minority. The quick over view is an employer has an irate former employee threaten his and his family’s lives, goes and buys a gun, is subjected to a 3 day waiting period, and on day 2 is attacked in front of his house.

It isn’t clear from the story if any of the attackers were actually connected to the former employee, but it sure would be a strange coincidence if they weren’t.
