Reply to comment by EsotericAbstractIdea in Affidavit: Man armed with AR-15-style rifle shoots 2 at Orlando resorts overnight by TupperwareConspiracy

To prevent drunk and/or sleep deprived person from making a rash decision. It especially doesn't make sense when the person from another state too.

I work overnight. I get off as the before the liquor stores open. Am I a raging alcoholic because I’m the first one in the store and drinking before noon? The time of day is meaningless. We are not a nanny state either.

If you need to go to the liquor store everyday then you are an alcoholic by definition. Completely different conversation tho and some states do limit the sale of alcohol after a certain time. I know Wisconsin does.

I didn’t say everyday. Reading comprehension, straw man.

I just inferred based on the way you're typing lmao. What do you mean by "straw man"?

But you brought up the sale of alcohol when we were talking about guns. You brought up all that stuff, so should i have just not addressed it, called you a straw man, and shut down the conversation like you have done? Probably lol. Also Florida is a nanny state, the "don't say gay" bill and the crusade against CRT are only things a nanny state would do. Anyway I still don't understand why a suggestion for a time limit for ammunition purchases offended so many of you.

The liquor store thing was an analogy. A commonly held belief is that drinking before noon or 2pm signifies a problem. If you had a 9-5 job and a sleep schedule that matched, I would probably agree. Being day drunk is weird. But there's people with different schedules. What if dude got off work at 2 am, and felt like going hunting at 4 am? A lot of animals are crepuscular, and the break of dawn is a good time to get a LOT of different species. I thought that no ammo time idea is super strange. As if anything you think of after dark is by default more evil than what you think of during the day.
