    A divorce is a legally recognized dissolution of the state recognized legal binds of a marriage contract, but if one wishes to physically leave a relationship, there is nothing that can delay or prevent it from happening.
    That a tool is used for destruction, as you call it, it not inherent to the tool, but in it’s use and application by the user. Petrol can be used for many things... destruction (killing) among the possible uses.

    Thus demonstrating conclusively that the member ibobbrob cannot demonstrate the so-called "common sense" of mandatory waiting periods on all firearms purchases, and even admits that their success or lack thereof cannot actually be proven.

    Onto new business.

    An millions and millions of law abiding citizens who never commit a gun crime in their lives. No thanks, we should just keep what the Founders intended...

    Nothing "questionable" about it. The 2nd Amendment is very clear, as is the 9th Amendment. The right to self defense is an inherent right which comes from our Creator, not from government.

    The 2nd Amendment mentions two separate rights; one concerning the state militia and the other concerning US citizens.

    He has the US Constitution. It is quite clear concerning this issue.

    Your statement, above, is false.

    Its only "questionable' to those who do not like the fact the 2nd protects an individual right unconnected to service in the militia.

    I already own a gun - how will a waiting period affect me in any way?

    None, because you already own one, and if you have been an upstanding citizen while owning a gun, you should not have to wait.

    AIDS has killed more people than legal gun owners have in the USA over the last 30 years. Can you imagine if we had a law that requires anyone who plans to engage in anal intercourse, get a health check before engaging in buggery? Homosexuals would still be able to have sex, but would only be inconvenienced. This won't stop prison rape but it might cut down on the spread of AIDS through consensual sex. Hardly the end of the world.

    So, when I full out the paperwork and check the box that says "current gun owner", I don't have to suffer the waiting period?
    And, what happened to "a right delayed is a right denied"?

    A right delayed is not a right denied and it has always been that way in many areas of our lives.

    Huh. Did Dr. Martin Luther King Jr lie?
    Does a 10 day waiting period on abortions violate the constitution?
    And, you missed my question:
    When I fill out the paperwork and check the box that says "current gun owner", I don't have to suffer the waiting period?

    We both know they don't care about saving lives - to the anti-gun left, dead people are a means to an end and nothing more.

    Using force or the threat of force to effect political change is literally the definition of terrorism so..... no

    No negotiation? Then things will remain the same, and that is not acceptable unless you want the status quo.

    I don't want the status quo - I want -fewer- infringements on my rights.
    There's no negotiation with those on the anti-gun side, because there's no reason to trust them -- they have no intention of "giving" anything,m and if they did, they have nothing TO give.
    To wit, you cannot provide an example of he anti-gun side suggesting a compromise that involves -giving- something to gun owners, only -taking- something away.

    Gun violence is a problem and it has been discussed ad nausea. You want the status quo, and that is not in the cards.

    Funny how you did not address the fallacy in "negotiating" with the anti-gun left.
