Longer delays spur gun debate | Waynesboro News Virginian

Prospective gun buyers in Virginia are waiting longer for background checks to clear their firearms purchases.

Look at it this way, how do gun owners benefit from having a background check run on them every time they buy a gun? They don't. I, for example, know I'm not a criminal. So the background check doesn't tell me a single thing I don't already know. The background check for gun purchases was supposed to be a "public safety" issue. If so, then the public needs to pay for it.

for those in the home invasion business the longer wait is just what they might need so they can pounce on there prey, could you imagine what insurance would cost a home invasion expert if people were allowed to defend themselfs, then again new healthcare reform will cover them

Background checks do not save lives. Get rid of the redundant state police check.
