USA – -(AmmoLand.com)- Gun restrictions give killers the upper hand. Background check waiting periods keep good people unarmed for extended periods of time. So, while the anti-gun crowd is pushing for universal background checks and a lengthy and expensive licensing process, (that the bad guys will pay no attention to) good people are left defenseless because they’re subjected to unnecessary costs, waiting periods, and often avoidable delays.
Pamela Smith and Melissa Roberts from Kentucky are two examples of women who were able to defend themselves and save their own lives with a firearm. Carol Bowne was not so lucky. The State of New Jersey denied Carol the right to save her own life by implementing unnecessary waiting periods for her handgun purchase.
