But can you explain how a 25 min background check instead of 1 1/2 min check would have prevented this shooting? Or even how a 3-day waiting period would have prevented this shooting?

Also, you wrote, "No one is asking people to not have guns or to give up their guns." This is not true.

But maybe if people stopped talking about forced "buybacks" and gun bans of some guns, we could meet in the middle and lessen the gun violence rate.

So you have nothing. SYFROYH Sep 2023 #9

No, I made an OP that asked a specific question which went ignored. AndyS Sep 2023 #10

That may be because your question doesn't seem to have anything to do with the video. SYFROYH Sep 2023 #11

Nice dodge but you now have the opportunity to answer the question I posed in the OP. AndyS Sep 2023 #12

Your question was answered TexasDem69 Sep 2023 #15
