Why do they call it a cooling off period?

All the waiting period does is make you more pissed.

Doesnt cool off anyone.
"Crimes of Passion" can take place without a firearms anyways....some peopel are blind, I suppose.

Someone who is miffed about something, goes out and buys a gun and uses it to shoot someone is not committing a crime of passion, but premeditated murder. First degree murder is already against the law. Such a person is not going to be stopped by any waiting period.

consider it a gathering ammo time, it may take you 10 days just to find ammo .

Edit: Ehh... nevermind.

I took a moment and realized that I'm too utopian at times. I see the cooling off period as pointless, but I don't want to get into an argument. I'm not in the mood to bother.

Move to Texas. You have Pelolsi and Boxer, we have Cornyn and Hutchison.

It's always hot in Arkansas.

We want, we like and we get to take it home in a few minutes.

Too hot for a marathon sometimes me thinks.
