The idiocy of a waiting period simply defined!
Going thru some old stuff from my bulletin board at my work desk I found this political cartoon circa 1993...

You have lent immortality to a beast you have killed because you loved him and wanted him forever so that you could always recapture the day." —R.Ruark

I've always thought that a marriage license should be like a license plate which expires every year. BOTH parties would have to go to the local office and request to reinstate it for another year. If they don't, everyone is free to go where they wish. Would put a lot of lawyers out of business as well.

Re: The idiocy of a waiting period simply defined!
We have a 10 day waiting period from the time we purchase a firearm and run a DROS (Dealer Record Of Sale). It was sold to the public as a cooling off period for those wanting to commit homicide or suicide. Even if you are on record as owning a pot full of firearms already. The absurdity is beyond reason.
So, as the politicians probably say, apparently there is enough stupid sheeple buying into such a ridiculous argument that we can safely control those who know better.
And thats the state of affairs we are all living in.

Second that. For me it is not that the waiting period is onerous, it simply does nothing useful. Same for Prop 63. The intent of Prop 63 is preventing the deranged and terrorists from committing mass murder using a firearm. Presumably nobody is against that but Prop 63 will not do so. If California wanted a law that might do some good they would ban the sale of all semi-automatic firearms. And if the state coffers were full enough ban the possession of all semi-automatic firearms and institute a buyback program at fair market value.

I....have a hard time believing that they believe or are sincere in their intent as you have proposed. I just don't think they're that stupid. Nor do I think that banning all self-loading firearms would have any affect on reducing any probability of terrorism or homicide. Just look to Mexico. Firearm ownership is very difficult legally and I don't think it is legal there to own a self loading centerfire rifle or handgun. And yet the cartels seem to have no problem procuring fully automatic military firearms. Just ask ex attorney general eric holder.
