Ah well that's not how it is in AL. They sell every kind of gun at Walmart, academy, gun shows and pawn shops. And I'm not saying to take guns away.. I'm saying there's no reason to need a gun THAT day when you go buy one..
For instance, a wife tries to leave her abusive husband but is afraid he will hurt her, so she gets multiple friends over to help her move out while he's at work, they take all his guns out of fear because he is unstable, but that didnt stop him from acquiring all these weapons. So he comes home, gets in a rage but since she has male friends with her, and they took his guns he can't do anything.. Problem over, right?
Not quite.. So he gets back in his car, and leaves and 15 MINUTES later he gets back with a shotgun he was able to buy at a pawn shop... Now obviously there's no reason you would need a gun on such short notice for anything legal, but the law allows it. So now he shoots at them, she runs, he chases her into the neighbors yard and pumps her full of lead in the back.. Kills her. Now I'm not telling y'all this to say ban guns or w.e, but this happened in my neighborhood, and I think with slightly more regulation on gun trade that kind of disaster could be avoided. Just don't think it can't happen to someone you know.
I'm very "informed" and understand my rights, I own many firearms. But that being said there's no reason for something like I just said to occur.. If a law had been in place that required you to wait a day, or even a few hours to pick up your weapon, those kids might have a mom. So I'm not arguing with anyone, but I don't think you'll be able to give me any reason that man, or anyone for that matter should be able to legally acquire a weapon in that amount of time.. I know most everyone here are responsible people that would never do such a thing, but there aren't 350 million good people in America, so I would condone a stricter buying process on firearms.
