This is largely ceremonial but applied to gun purchasers makes little sense. 99% of gun owners are law abiding citizens. An equally large number do not need to seek a doctor's or psychologist’s letter to own a gun. On the other hand, since I view abortion as murder, I understand trying to convince women to seek out alternatives to abortion. In one case I believe a woman is committing a (constitutional and legal) mistake and in another I think someone is exercising a legal and constitutional right to own a gun.
Some of the ideas make sense, such as closing the gun show loophole and requiring all firearms owners to have training and to pass a test to own a gun. Ditto barring felons and those with mental illnesses from owning guns. think that actually would go a long way to reducing fatalities and gun deaths and accidents.
A 72 hour waiting period is already in force I believe for some purchases. I think that's reasonable as well.
