The federal government has no waiting period. A bill that passed the Democrat-led U.S. House last year would extend the review period for background checks from three days to 10, but it's opposed by Republicans and is not part of current negotiations in the Senate over how Congress can respond to the recent massacres.
Advocates say such measures can provide authorities with time to complete background checks and create a "cooling off" period for people who might pose an imminent danger.
