The crazy thing about the U.S. is you once your 18 you can buy any rifle/shotgun on the spot(without a felony record) this includes assault rifles. while not fully automatic u can dump 30 rounds in a couple heart beats. but u cant purchase a handgun for 3 days? this is intended to keep people who are in the heat of the moment from purchasing a handgun and doing something rash. well to me this is ridiculous cuz basically your tellin the guy sorry you cant have the 9 millimeter but I can sell you the .308 armalite with 2 30 round clips. to me this is just dumb.
