of why there should not be 2 to 4 week waiting periods. here's a hint. most criminals don't go through legal channels for their guns. but in regards to the wait. say you are a victim of domestic violence, and your husband has beaten you and threatened to kill you. the cops come to your house and arrest your husband. he bails out the next day. the courts issue an emergency protective order. would you say "what's the rush?" should the courts wait 2 to 4 weeks?

i'm a law abiding citizen. i happen to be a LEO. i used to be pro gun control. from a practical basis, my mind was changed based on my years as a firefighter/EMT and as a cop. from a constitutional basis, my mind was changed due to intelligent articles.

what kind of thorough background check do you propose? that would take 2 to 4 weeks?

i'm all for streamlining criminal and mental health databases. it's the 21st century.
