Lobbying & Government. Ron DeSantis ready to dump firearm purchase waiting periods A.G. Gancarski Jan 4 Ron DeSantis says he is ready to make gun purchases "instant" without background checks. The Florida Governor told CNN viewers Thursday that for "law-abiding citizens" there should be no waiting period, when asked about a House bill that would eliminate the current three-day interregnum. "I think that the background check should be instant. You have the thing, somebody goes, you can run them and you can see if there's a criminal conviction, if they're a felon, then obviously they ping. If they have mental health adjudication, then of course they're going to ping. But I think you want it to be instant background checks. And so that's what I support." "I think it should be instant," DeSantis added. "I think it should be instant background checks (for) law abiding citizens exercising their rights. You shouldn't have to be on a mandatory waiting period. Instant checks would do the job." Rep. Joel Rudman's HB 17 would change statute regarding the waiting period, which currently encompasses three days or a completed background check, to whichever is completed earlier.
