Also, I will see your left nut, and up the ante to an almost 3 month period from when I took the gun safety class to when I received my actual permit in the mail. There was so much involved, including having my first selectman interview me, getting letters of recommendations, visits to the state police for finger prints, background checks, etc.
I suppose it's not the same in Texas when it comes to purchasing rifles, and that is a big problem with me. There was really zero reason for Ramos to be able to turn 18 one day, and then be in possession of weapons, and do what he did days later. I have NO PROBLEM MAKING THE RULES TO OBTAN FIREARMS TOUGHER. ZERO. I would not mind seeing regular mental health checks, an initial mental health check, as well as periodic, mandated proof that you know what the f.uck you are doing with a firearm.
