How long is an acceptable delay? Until they finish the background check? So basically forever.No, I very specially said that a delayed background check to further investigate the backgrounds of people 18-24 may not be a bad thing.
Such a pause would probably have stopped Parkland and Ulvade, two shooters who had significant history that had been ignored.
Nowhere have I said anything about denying anyone without a history of violence, nor have I stated all kinds of people- its clearly targeted at an age group and demographic that is prone to school shootings, not everyone.
If you bothered to read, the delay is to investigate juvenile adjudication information and/or mental health prohibition- as in, juveniles who are prohibited persons, but have not had their juvenile records reported to NICS.
This is pretty straight forward- you can't come out of 2 years forced incarceration for psychosis as an adult and buy a gun, you shouldn't be able to as a kid. Currently, juvenile records like that are falling though the cracks and it's what this is aiming to stop.
Eventually those records will be reported to NICS and the delays will stop.
They can’t even complete a background check on me ever. If this law affected me that just means I just never get a gun.
Maybe there should be a delay before you’re allowed to talk, practice your religion, Maybe the police should be able to search your house and take your property and then get a warrant later. That’s not how any of this is supposed to work. I don’t care if it saves a child’s life or not.
