I’m honestly fine with waiting periods to purchase guns, if only because it’s the only gun control policy I can see that doesn’t punish the disadvantaged or minorities like red flag laws (for example) do. The problem is that if you state that as your position on gun control, then you’ll get immense pushback from both sides of the debate, using mostly the same arguments ironically. “What about assault rifles?” from the antis would be about why you aren’t going far enough, while on the pro side it would be about
muh slippery slope to “complete confiscation!”
It’s a shame really, because like you said it would go a long way to help mitigate suicides (by firearm) and crimes of passion.
Also totally agree that the left needs to be armed, especially with the police being up to no good, and shitbag racists and fascists going after people for the sheer crime of not being exactly like them.
