“I’m okay with a pause to allow for weapons to be purchased and allow the government and the gun companies to look at the background and do a thorough check before that gun goes to someone.”
Typical Communist circular argument.
What he doesn’t say is that “as a law-abiding citizen” he would accommodate intrusion (AKA: infringement) because he “has nothing to hide”.
Such a benevolent party supporter, eh comrade?
Yet he never says he wants to do the hard, dirty, dangerous work of getting illegal guns out of lawless hands because THAT is his job.
Not sitting around writing position papers and doing the bureaucratic shuffle while he pretends to be a policeman.
The lawless? They won’t need to wait for BG-checks because they don’t legally buy guns.
And I’m sure the chief and his LE buddies would be exempt from the laws, no matter how many times he says “I” and “we” would be good with further restrictions.
