Let's do the math

The Texas school shooter purchased his guns on May 18th.
Six days later he used one of those guns to attack and kill on May 24th.
The students that were shot that day only had 2 or 3 days left before school would have been out for the summer.

6 days between gun purchase and shootings + 3 days until the school would have been empty = 9 days


Conclusion: in this case a waiting period for gun purchase of only 10 days would have saved the lives of those children.
