Re: New gun law

You: “I've been a gun advocate all my life. When I was finally old enough to buy my first hand gun -- we had a 7 to 10 day waiting period and you had to be at least 21 yr. old. That was the law and no one objected to it. Now almost 60 years later -- back ground checks can be done in no time because of the computers. The only people that fear background checks are people that know they won't pass. With all the unprovoked gun violence in this country today -- people should applaud the passage of background checks. There is nothing about confiscating guns in this law unless you're mentally unstable. In that case - you don't need a gun - you need a therapist. The law doesn't say anything detrimental to owning a gun -- it doesn't open any doors that will lead to Americans' right to bear arms to be lost. This isn't a partisan issue - it's an American issue. Any Politician that claims that is lying.” ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here is my reply to a few of your points: You said: “When I was finally old enough to buy my first hand gun -- we had a 7 to 10 day waiting period and you had to be at least 21 yr. old. That was the law and no one objected to it.” Who is no one? Are you speaking for everyone else in our country? I turned 21 in early 1968. I purchased several handguns during that year and I don’t remember any waiting period at all. All I remember was showing my driver’s license to prove that I was 21. What year are you talking about? Your story needs to be revised. --------------- You said: “The only people that fear background checks are people that know they won't pass.” That’s BS too. You could be flagged because you do not fit the mold. You know, you might be 20 pounds overweight, a Republican, you forbid to take the covid shot, not believe in man-made climate change, not believe in 74 genders and 17 bathrooms or heaven forbid, be a non-wokester. The red flag law allows the ones in control to flag anyone they feel like, for whatever reason, pure and simple. As long as you are a sheep and follow the BS blindly, you’ll be fine. --------------- You said: “This isn't a partisan issue - it's an American issue.” I beg your pardon; it is very much a partisan issue! You are a looney lefty and you are stating your views. I share the same sentiments of many people that totally disagree with you. So, if that is not partisanship, I don’t know what is. --------------- You said: “The law doesn't say anything detrimental to owning a gun -- it doesn't open any doors that will lead to Americans' right to bear arms to be lost.” Oh sure. Evidently you have not listened to any of your loon party’s continuous rederick about guns and the 2nd amendment. They would like nothing better than repeal the 2nd amendment! This has gone on for decades and so far, they have not succeeded. Thank goodness half the population has some brains. Just because you spew something, you seem to have the impression that all gun owners agree with your position. What a wokester buffoon you are!
