Mark Kelly Clocks In At 5:36

It took Mark Kelly all of 5 minutes and 36 seconds to complete Arizona's "background check" and buy a gun at a licensed dealer.  Mark and Gabby are reasonable people.  They own guns.  Their position is simple and very reasonable:

1.  This particular background check is painless, quick and easy.  So what's the NRA's fucking problem?

2.  This 5 minute cupcake exercise does not occur at "private" gun shows, where 40% of all firearms are purchased.

3.  So-called universal background checks, which would include gun shows, will help us to better deal with this public health and safety problem.



No one can, in good conscience, argue with any of these points.  Buster merely suggests that clearing the official hurdle to obtain any gun ought to take a bit longer than 5 minutes.  How about 5 days?  Five weeks?  What's your hurry, big boy?

And as you may know, after the videotaped purchase shown here, Kelly went back to the same store to buy an assault rifle.  They wrote him up, took his money, then saw this video, cancelled Kelly's transaction and refused to give him the gun, because he was in favor of, you know, like, reasonable gun controls.  And we can't have that.

Yes, we can!
