RACINE - A Racine lawmaker wants to repeal Wisconsin's 48-hour waiting period to buy handguns.
Republican state Sen. Van Wanggaard says the original intent of the waiting period was to give gun dealers enough time to complete a background check. Now that information is digitized and background checks can be done nearly instantly, Wanggaard says a 48-hour waiting period amounts to a ``time tax.''
