So glad I have to wait three days after buying a shotgun. It's amazing how much of a deterrent the new Visa Gun Registry, waiting list, and age restrictions are.

I really love jumping through hopes to exercise my rights. Hey, maybe next they will make me log into my citizens portal that monitors all of my online use just in case there is a chance to catch the next 1:99999999 terrorist that isn't a part of a three letter agencies.

Colorado is such a big freedom loving state.

/s if it wasn't obvious.

You literally don't know what you're talking about or deliberately lying. The evidence is overwhelming, especially re: suicide.

gee, I can't imagine why you'd lie about your motivation to purchase this firearm. and overt frustrations over being denied for 3 days. seems impulsive and erratic behavior.
