Are you calling your own bullshit then? because you know what I posted in that paragraph was not a denigration of a waiting period, it was pointing out how a 'feel good' regulation can backfire on those that thought it was a good idea in the first place.

Do you have a problem with basic comprehension? It does not say that a well regulated militia has the right, it says a militia is necessary to the security of a free state THEN it says that the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
"A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State,//////// the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."

The BOR is a short but incomplete list of individual rights. It's insane and illogical to think that the constitution defines and lists what 'powers' the government is authorized by the people and then to believe that smack dab in the BOR it gave the government a right.
