The window for intervention is really short. Being able to purchase and possess a gun in minutes significantly increases the risk of firearm suicide and firearm homicide as well.

It's time for Wisconsin to return that common sense to that common sense policy. Tonight I'm announcing I will be asking the legislature to restore the 48 hour waiting period in Wisconsin in our next state budget. (33:23–33:37)
