So wait 10 days even if you already own guns? And what evidence is there that waiting periods stop a statistically significant amount of gun crime, or any gun crime at all?

Force small businesses to employ multiple additional people? Who's going to pay for it? Who decides these criteria?

Again, what are the criteria? How do you know if they're a new gun buyer? Are all guns registered now so you know if they own guns or not?

What's the point? If you're trying to stop a crime where a gun might be concealed to commit this crime...the person doing so is already not following the law...

Seems like a lot of invasive not minimal regulation to me.
