Then what part of gun control would be hard?
I have to wait 3-6 months in NYC just to get a pistol permit for my own house. THAT is what you want for the rest of the country, and if that is the case, go **** yourself.
Well you better get on it. I'm sure you're not the type to have a gun without the permit.
And THAT is the crux of the problem. I am law abiding, and would follow the law. Meanwhile any criminal idiot can have a gun in about 4-6 hours if he really wanted one.
How does making me take 3-6 months stop crime?
It might provide a cooling off period if you were buying a gun to settle a vendetta or something. The problem is that there's no consistency in gun laws across the country so if you were of a mind to do it, you could go to another state and buy one.
3-6 months isn't a "cooling off period". It's infringement meant to make the process as difficult as possible so as few people as possible try to apply.
And what if I needed a gun for protection? Will the NYPD give me 24/7 security while they wait for my application to be processed?
And that is ALSO THE CRUX OF THE ISSUE. If I really really wanted a gun, I could get it, even if you made the laws the same across all the states. all NYC's law does is make my life difficult for no reason other than "we don't want you to have a gun"
But notice the NYPD can off duty carry, and retired PO's get a CCW permit almost automatically,.
Why do they get rights I don't. They should be forced to place their guns in an armory after a shift, and fend like the rest of us.
