Oh, but your argument before was that 10 days isn't long enough. Was that just a trick?
Sounds to me like you're one of those people that says, "I'm not against gun control in principle, it just has to be done right", then disagrees with every gun control proposal. Because you actually are against gun control.
No, my argument was that a 10 day wait period was "pointless, because it does fuck all."
Oh, and yes, I am against further gun control that has no impact. I, unlike you, don't just want to pretend I'm helping, I actually want to address the root causes of violence (not just gun violence) themselves. It may be harder but at least it isn't "completely useless feel good legislation that isn't even actually designed to actually solve the issue because if they did solve it they couldn't use it to pressure you for votes."
Wow, you seem pretty confident you know what my opinion is, even without me telling you! Try my age, next!
I'm sorry, Mr. High-And-Mighty, but did you or did you not just post this?
Try harder lol your trolling is not working.
What exactly do you think that proves? Do you think it proves I'm against mental health programs? Do you think it proves I'm for increased police budgets?
No. You know my inclination on this one subject. Not the totality of my opinion. Did I say this measure alone would help? Fuck no. But who wants to add wait times and do absolutely nothing else? It seems like that's what you're implying. But anyone who isn't an idiot knows these issues aren't dealt with by doing a single thing on its own.
No I think it proves you're the pot calling the kettle black. "OhH I cAn TeLl YoU wHaT yOu MeAn BuT yOu CaN't TeLl Me WhAt I mEaN!!"
