Which "schoolchildren" died because of a firearm that was purchased inside of a 30 day window? None of the famous massacres would fit this bill; did you have an actual, documented event in mind or just feelings?

All of the gun grabbers I am aware of that are in favor of waiting periods try to make this infringement justified based on "crimes of passion" and other "heat-of-the-moment" nonsense - not "schoolchildren."

It's just an example, you're refusing any kind of gun regulation, doesn't matter what it is, dead kids is not a factor.

Casual gun ownership is the difference. In Europe you can get guns, but you do it for a purpose like hunting or sports, license and training is required.

They don't have any evidence because they are appeals to emotion.

If you look at the people doing the shooting you get a much better correlation but no-one wants to go there.
