    You guys aren't doing a great job. Why has no one pointed out that there is no waiting period in Colorado? Why has no one pointed out the equally obvious point that a gun purchase is a one time event. If some husband or wife is "deranged," then they are deranged all the time, not just when they go to buy a gun. People very rarely buy guns out of anger or while angry, but that is when they use them. So a deranged person buying a gun during a calm period waiting three days (which again is not the case in Colorado), then using the gun later saved exactly zero lives and didn't even register on the meter of goodness.

    This AND a waiting period keeps someone that has just discovered that they have an angry and dangerous person in their life threatening them (in possession of a weapon they purchased years ago) and they get to sit helplessly "cooling off" while said angry and dangerous person is free to murder them at their whim.
    Modern liberalism is based on the idea that reality is obligated to conform to one's beliefs because; "I have the right to believe whatever I want".
