Changed the thread title.

But yeah, this is pretty hilarious.
Why stop there though? They should have a 7 day waiting period for buying videogames as well.
That'll reduce the mass shootings.

Unless... the only thing that can stop a bad guy with a videogame is a good guy with a videogame?

Galaxy brain!

Time to give all the cops + security guys a week off, and tell them to go play some video games!

Phew, thank God for that. Now Americans should be safe and mass shootings should now finally be over. Glad they got to the bottom of that.

This is the best thing in the entire thread.

So you want them to stop selling guns? But what if a gunman goes nuts near me? I wanna buy a gun so that I may defend myself against said gunman if such a situation were to develop...

So you want to buy a gun when a gunman goes nuts? Seems like you might be a little late to the party. Also, there are about a million other stores that sell guns from Academy, Cabela's, gun shops, gun auctions, and private owners. I don't think one store no matter how big would prevent you from being able to buy a gun. CVS stopped selling cigarettes and you don't see too many smokers bitching about CVS because you know there are things called gas stations and other stores.

Excellent! Then I shall purchase the most powerful gun they have to offer! The one with all the perks!

Yes. I think they're just trying to step on fewer toes, tbh.
