Common Sense Gun Laws

Now this is a "common sense" gun law!

HB 0171 by Rep. David Reis

"Amends the Criminal Code of 1961. Provides that the waiting period for withholding delivery of a firearm after application for its purchase has been made does not apply to the transfer of an operable firearm in exchange for another operable firearm. Effective immediately."

Finally, a bill that makes good sense.

Now, how about a bill that says if you already own a firearm you don't have to undergo the waiting period to purchase another. Doesn't it stand to reason? The whole reason touted for the waiting period is to prevent a person who gets angry at someone from stopping by a store, purchasing a gun, and then shooting who they are mad at, right?

Keep it honest, to the point, and civil. Most of all keep it pointed in a safe direction.
