Secondary sales never require a background check, as far as I know - they don't in Illinois, home of some of the most ridiculous gun laws in the country.
Waiting period wouldn't have made a bit of difference either. He bought the guns well outside of any waiting period that's ever been. Three days, five days, a week? If there had been one, would you have then realized that it did nothing?
Should we restrict sales of gas and fertelizer so people can't make bombs? Put a waiting period on lighters to prevent arson? License people to go in a pool as they might drown another?
Utterly silly. I don't think gun laws are irresponsible, but I do think it's irresponsible for someone that carries to have invested so little thought into the right they exercise.
Bad things happen in free societies. We are in a time of unparalleled naivete in terms of people expecting that someone else is taking care of them. So long as we are free, we must provide for our own care. Things will only get worse until then.
I still have to call troll on this, everyone watch what you say. I'm sure plenty of people fish here for comments to take out of context.
