A "blanks/caps-only" revolver
dat da firearms-store gives you (along wif a coupon good for unlimited "harmless" ammo-refills for a month) to use during da 30-
day waiting-period
dat dey make you fumingly suffer through before you can pick up da "real" handgun dat you purchased. Da theory/intention of this practice is to hopefully increase/enhance da effectiveness of this month-
long "cooling-off period"... i.e., if you were wanting da
gun because you were
mad at someone and wanted to kill him, you could "totally knock yourself out" --- i.e., wrathfully blast away at said "offender" all you want --- wif da prop-
gun for four-plus weeks, and then hopefully by da end of dat period, your anger towards said person would have sufficiently dissipated after seethingly directing hundreds of humongous satisfyingly-deafening muzzle-blasts and puffs of
smoke in his direction, and so you would then either change your mind about buying da "real"
gun in da first place, or at least you would not use said
bang-stick to harm said "offender" --- or anyone else --- when you eventually did acquire it.
If all
gun-shops would issue pisstols to first-
time handgun-buyers during da waiting-period, I
imagine there would be a noticeable decrease in shooting-murders/injuries.
