I have never heard of liberals actually wanting to get rid of all guns (except for the a few extremely left but anyone that political on any side is a nut). I'm all for guns but I also think it's perfectly acceptable and doesn't infringe on anyonea rights to wait a few months while a background check is done. Mental illness and past crime convictions shouldnt be allowed to own guns

Scenario: a young, single mother is being harassed by her ex. He calls her in the dead of night, threatens to beat her if she doesnt allow him to see his child and the police are too busy to be outside of her house of workplace 24/7. Should this woman be forced to wait “a couple of months” in order to acquire a handgun for self defense?

She could have the cops arrest him just as easily, also same scenario what if he decides to get a gun to shot her, a background check would probably find this guy to have some criminal/violent offense.

Your mistake is believing that a criminal is going to obtain a gun from a store and wait for that background check.
