At what point does a minor inconvenience in buying a gun outweigh the toll of guns everywhere. If a background check took 25 minutes instead of one and a half, would that inconvenience be enough to justify saving one life? If it took 3 days to pick up the gun you just qualified to buy would that be enough to justify saving just one life?

No one is asking people to not have guns or to give up their guns. We are asking how much inconvenience is reasonable to prevent non law abiding people from getting them. Instead of asking what we can do to reduce gun violence what if we asked the law abiding citizens what they will put up with in inconvenience to simply save one life, what would they answer?
