It's been awhile...(guns)

That's right, it has been awhile, but don't think I have forgotten you. I can't get you out of my mind. Sometimes you are all I think about. The way you look, how you make me laugh, the way you smell so....bloggy. I bet I just made the word "bloggy" up. Mmmmmmmm, Bloggy.
So, I am sure the word guns in the title caught more attention than anything else. Do you know that when you go to buy a gun (and if you haven't bought a gun, what are you waiting for? The supreme power of life and death is only a trigger pull away!) you have to wait 10 days? They call that a cooling off period. I guess the fear here is that someone is going to come home, catch his wife cheating on him, and in a blinding rage head off to the sporting goods store, pick out a desirable and powerful gun, ammo to load said gun, and head home... Ideally still in a blinding and psychotic rage, and shoot everyone you find with your shiny new weapon. I don't really know about anyone else, but when I am angry, I want immediate gratification. If my blinding rage allows me the presence of mind to leave the house to buy a gun, it is likely I will use it on someone in traffic on my way home. Conversely, if I go to the store, buy a gun, but come home without it and begin my 10 day wait, I don't think that "cool down" is the right term. I think from now on this should be called the 10 day festering and planning period. This is better anyway, less innocent people are likely die. In 10 days it seems that you could book a one way flight to Borneo, get cash advances on all your credit cards, eat the food inn your freezer, rent a get away car, ya know, the important stuff.
