Why do waiting periods exist?
I'm 18, born and raised and live in the gunshine state but in broward county, the most liberal part.
I try to buy a marlin 795 for cheap plinking (.223 hurts the wallet)
I go through the whole process only to realize that this county has a 5 day waiting period on all gun purchases and now anxious all week
...w-why tho?
>.223 hurts the wallet
I say this as a friend. Quit now. This is not a hobby for you.

Dude you literally could have drove an hour and a half to Naples and avoided this whole issue.
If waiting 5 days is too much you should have just left Broward kek.

The California waiting period is 10 days AND we get extra shitty gun laws on top of that.

leftists always try to make it as difficult as possible to purchase a gun. it isn't about making anybody safer, it's just so that gun ownership becomes a chore.
their stated intentions for the waiting period are that it will let somebody "cool off" if they wanted to buy a gun to kill someone. everybody knows it is bullshit but somehow they still get their way

Nigga I own a MAS-36. I have to buy 7.5mm French when I want to go shoot it. I laugh at your complaints about the price of .223

The way I looked at it before I got my concealed permit, was that the waiting period wasn't really that big of a deal. I'll own it for the rest of my life, what's 3 days? Now that I have my carry permit, holy fuck, that shit is fucking gay.
>buy gun
>leave store with gun
Is the way to do it. Plus if it's early enough in the day you could even shoot it!

It's 3 for handguns throughout the entire state, only Broward has a universal 5 day waiting period for long guns as well.

I thought waiting periods were a meme like PID until only a few years ago. That's fucking ridiculous el-em-ayy-oh

Not for rifles/shotguns. Only for pistols or any firearm that can become a pistol (stripped AR lowers) and if you have a CCW that waiting period is waived.

Technically they go against state law for any county or city to institute ANY legislation involving firearms below the state level. However no one has actually attempted to fight them so it hasn't gone to the state supreme court to decide if state preemption actually does preempt local waiting period statutes or not.

Drive 20 minutes in any direction and buy guns.
