Leading the way in this intervention is California. This state has enacted more logical gun control laws than any other in the past few years. In states such as South Carolina, there is no waiting period to receive your firearm after you purchase it. You can walk out of the store with the gun you just bought the same day that you pay for it. In California, however, there is a ten-day waiting period between the time that you purchase a gun and the time that you receive it. I find that this is an essential aspect, because if a person is buying a gun with out of anger in order to hurt someone, these ten days often serve as a cool down period and cause them to rethink the situation. Whereas in states with no waiting period at all, a person could easily go in a store and walk out with a firearm still enraged that he just walked in on his wife in bed with another
