, said Seo Yoon “Yoonie” Yang, a leader with Students Demand Action, a gun violence prevention group. But they can help keep guns out of the hands of people who would do harm in the meantime, she said.
In Colorado, Democratic state Rep. Tom Sullivan ran for office after his son, Alex, died along with 11 others when a gunman opened fire in an Aurora movie theater eight years ago. Sullivan said he hopes a waiting period in legislation he’s planning to sponsor could help curb domestic violence and suicide.
Gun rights groups, including the National Rifle Association, oppose waiting periods. The group points to 2018
I am glad that they are considering a waiting period. It more than likely would have helped in this situation.
But apparently you need a cooling off period between registering to vote & actually voting...can't do that same day. But you can apply, purchase & walk out with a gun same day.
No Gun Waiting People Kill, Not Guns! Think About It!
There should be a cooling-off period for two of life’s decisions: buying a gun and getting a tattoo.
Rare? 12% of the U.S. population lives in California, which has a waiting period. Hardly a rare example of Goverment control.
Gun sales ppl all the care about is to make money, damn the ppl who get killed, they are really accomplices
Republicans are actively trying to impose more restrictions for voting and maintain zero restrictions for buying a gun. Is this how a civilized, peaceful society dies? VoterSuppression guncontrol democracy georgia StopAsianHate

So in GA I can buy a gun and kill 8 people in the same day but can’t vote mail and or do early voting?

Background checks didn't stop this. A waiting period wouldn't have stopped this either. Make him wait a week and now he has a plan, a rental truck full of gas cans and a gun. But go ahead and tell me how the next gun law will fix things.
In the USA, you can trust nothing but guns.
But yet there are waiting periods for women to receive healthcare. It's easier to get a gun than healthcare.
If you need a gun right that minute clearly something is wrong
In my state, you have to be 21 to adopt an animal from a shelter, but you can buy a gun at 18. Idiocy.
Imagine living in a country where a short cooling off period to possibly avoid a murderous rampage is even a controversy.
How many criminals have guns in this dangerous shithole Atlanta? Once you take guns away from Keisha Bottoms thugs let me know!
It shouldn’t be harder to vote than buy a gun justsaying
You're saying it rare like it's a bad thing
That the problem in the US, easy access to guns for people who are unstable or shouldn't be allowed one.
Crazy (⊙_◎) people can go into anything gun store and act normal enough to buy a gun, regardless of a waiting period. Especially if they don't have a criminal record. There's too many criminals, who have illegal firearms as well.
A moment of rage doesn't last an hour.
Just a reason to take guns away. Who actually still believes anytying these people say

Ohh they are considering it?!! 😗. Wake up people. Sounds like a good idea. If you can’t wait 3 days to purchase a gun something is up. Yea yea I know they can buy one offthe streets. But if they couldn’t it may save lives GAFollowers AtlantaGov
Considering?
What do you mean I’ve gotta wait 3 days? I’m mad now!
I'm all for a waiting period and I buy guns. Hell I love my guns. Background checks should check against a person's medical insanity issues to hell with doctor/patient priviledge. Apparantly crazy fucks are doing the killing and are giving responsible gun owners a bad name.
TheRealCoryElia We make gun policy in a reactionary fashion. Band aid gun reform acts as a 'cooling off period' after a mass shooting so that it looks like something is being done while facilitating the return to the status quo.
But I'm angry now!!!
Those same states that allow immediate gun purchases also require a time period before a woman can get an abortion. Anti abortionists aren't pro life, just pro birth and want to control women's bodies and reproduction. Why don't pro life ppl want regulations for gun purchases?
Why is the USA addicted to the gun?
One issue not often considered, is that proliferation of guns is one of the reasons we have so many police shootings of unarmed suspects. Police are on edge thinking everyone they stop has a gun.
It’s a no brainer, waiting periods save lives
Do the current cooling off periods apply only to handguns?
Waiting time is not rare-Most States they are from 3 days to 7 days
If you can’t register to vote the same day as an election then you shouldn’t be able to buy a gun the same day.
Thought: Make the wait longer? Still would have had access to a gun? Where is a shorter wait time the problem? He would of committed the crime had it been shipped in from china and had to wait 3 months? The guy didn’t want a ‘happy ending’ regardless?
I am sorry is US a civilized country? Where gun deaths are off the chart and some so called religious leaders stay quiet on such issues. US needs a serious religious revival. Franklin_Graham

Hate without a gun is just a feeling. Guns are the problem in this country yet people - cough, mostly GOP - scream 2A beats valuing and protecting human life. Their hypocritical stance is killing our fellow Americans.
The idea that “cooling off” is a term used in gun buying shows how much we need gun law reform. Men need therapy not guns.
The person was unstable. Not the gun. We need to address more than just delaying the same crime.
Ah yes, America.
considering...meaning they'll talk about it until the news dies down and then not do anything...sigh
you need training, extensive testing, a learner’s permit, to be able to drive. there’s no reason guns should not be treated the same way. with points coming off the gun license for offenses.
If he really wanted to address his addiction, he shoulda cut of his...
Ah yes let's make it the guns fault
He would have used a sling shot!
Yet there’s people across the pond who say “bollocks to increased gun control & legislature” like 💁♂️
But same day registration and same day vote... Far too dangerous. Back assward BS!
