The mandatory seven day wait on handgun purchases imposed by the PDRofMD has inspired some Dems. I can\u2019t tell you how many times I\u2019ve plunked down eight bills for a firearm purchase, and have impulse-robbed a Dollar Store on the way home. Because I haven\u2019t.<\/p>\n
David sends.<\/p>\n LINDSAY WHITEHURST<\/p>\n Not long before the deadly Atlanta-area shootings spread fear and anger through Asian American communities nationwide, police say the attacker made a legal purchase: a 9 mm handgun.<\/p>\n Within hours, they say, he had killed eight people, seven of them women and six of Asian descent, in a rampage targeting massage businesses.<\/p>\n If Georgia had required him to wait before getting a gun, lawmakers and advocates say, he might not have acted on his impulse.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s really quick. You walk in, fill out the paperwork, get your background check and walk out with a gun,\u201d said Robyn Thomas, executive director of the Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence. \u201cIf you\u2019re in a state of crisis, personal crisis, you can do a lot of harm fairly quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n The purchase was a normal transaction at Big Woods Goods, a shop north of Atlanta that complies with federal background check laws and is cooperating with police, said Matt Kilgo, a lawyer for the store.<\/p>\n \u201cThere’s no indication there’s anything improper,” he said.<\/p>\n The vast majority of states are like Georgia, allowing buyers to walk out of a store with a firearm after a background check that sometimes can take minutes. Waiting periods are required in just 10 states and the District of Columbia, although several states are considering legislation this year to impose them.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n This metering of rights is a pretty typical first start at chipping away at the Second Amendment. They\u2019re shamelessly playing the race card, and anyone using Giffords Center stats has an agenda and is suspect.
