I'm not saying the system is not adequate but, I am saying 5 minutes to walk out with a gun legally is a problem. If you take your daily driver to an alignment shop and 5 minutes later they say your good to go....do you think they did a thorough job? Some dude goes off the deep end one day and gets a gun legally in 5 minutes and mows down 30 people because he was super pissed because somebody "disrespected" him but if the same dude has to wait let's say 24 to 48 hours maybe a cooler head prevails and, maybe he doesnt do it. I understand that a lot of these mass shootings are planned and waiting a little bit of time wont change a bunch of it. I also get that a lot of this is done with guns purchased illegally.

You do realize that the 5 minutes is an exaggeration right? Its usually about 30-45 minutes by the time you complete the paperwork, the background check is ran by the feds. If your background check is clean, its about a 5 to 10 minute phone call. Plus, if someone walked into a gun store angry and upset, MOST gun stores are gonna turn him away as they are allowed too.

You're also talking about punishing people for the actions of 1-2 people a year. 52% of Americans have guns, with an estimated 500 million in civilian hands, if guns were the problem, you would truly know it.

Evil will find a way. Murder itself is illegal, what law do you propose to make murder even more illegal to where a murder or prospect murder stops and reconsiders their actions?
