DeSantis Misleads About Florida Gun Law Passed in Wake of Parkland Shooting

At the very beginning of the CNN town hall Wednesday evening, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) was asked about gun laws and expressed his support for revoking Florida's 3-day waiting period, arguing that "the background check should be instant." But this comment misleads about the purpose of that waiting period, one of several reform measures passed in the wake of the Parkland school shooting -- as well as about the cause for any delays in conducting those background checks.
