So glad I have to wait three days after buying a shotgun. It's amazing how much of a deterrent the new Visa Gun Registry, waiting list, and age restrictions are.

I really love jumping through hopes to exercise my rights. Hey, maybe next they will make me log into my citizens portal that monitors all of my online use just in case there is a chance to catch the next 1:99999999 terrorist that isn't a part of a three letter agencies.

Colorado is such a big freedom loving state.

/s if it wasn't obvious.

poor baby. it's not like there have been thousands of murders committed with firearms, god forbid someone try to reduce those incidents by instituting a mandatory cool down period.

3 whole fucking days? That's like 5,000,000 hours.....er... 72. huh.

how ever will you manage

But how will I be able to indulge in my impulsive desires if I have to wait three whole days? That's way too long for something thats built primarily for murder.

The point is that it doesn't make any difference. Every single study showed that it had no effect, and only hurts people that actually need protection quickly.

Also people stealing weapons from stores don't have to wait, so criminals never abide by the rules law-abiding people do.

This is just security theater laws.

You literally don't know what you're talking about or deliberately lying. The evidence is overwhelming, especially re: suicide.

gee, I can't imagine why you'd lie about your motivation to purchase this firearm. and overt frustrations over being denied for 3 days. seems impulsive and erratic behavior.
