Other side of coin: those people - especially women - who need a means of protecting themselves and need it NOW.Let’s for a moment accept everything the gun control advocates say about waiting periods
1. Suicide rates are skyrocketing in NH (25162 in the US Gun Deaths Dropped in 2018, Excluding Suicides )
2. Studies show waiting periods save lives : Up to 1660 lives could be saved from firearms suicides based on From the Cover: Handgun waiting periods reduce gun deaths
3. 1660/25162 = 6.7%
So the the most important and effective change we could make by mandatory waiting periods would prevent 1 in 15 suicides by firearms - seriously?
It’s a start they say, as always. But if the most effective law can address just 1 in 15, how many more laws to address 1 in 10? By their own data they prove they are barking up the wrong tree and *only* enacting gun laws for the sake of gun control rather than their stated purpose - preventing firearms suicides. Suicidal depression is not treated by gun control.
There’s a 1 in 15 chance this drug with cure your disease, there’s a 1 in 15 chance replacing these parts in your car will fix it, there’s a 1 in 15 chance retiring your house will stop electrical failures. NOBODY accepts 1 in 15 as anything other than cause to reject and move on...
Honestly, someone need publicly to ask, "Why do Democrats hate women?"
We need to launch a campaign to make being a Donk as socially unacceptable as smoking, or farting in church.
Or beating your wife.
