So, what to do? Can't we agree that a 10-day waiting period and extensive background check to purchase a gun should be the bare minimum nation-wide?

In a word, no.

Gun regulations correlate with lower gun violence. That's just a fact.

Actually it's not. Explain Vermont. No CCW or LTC. Really, no gun laws to speak of.

Did you know ANYTHING about statistics? VT is obviously an outlier, but on the average the correlation holds up.
