Flip-Flop: Waiting Periods

Long ago, in a liberal state far far away, I had to wait 10 days before I could pick up a new gun.  The waiting period, or 'cooling off period,' was to reduce the rampant, out of control new-gun shootings that were happening all over the place. 

I was so incensed each time I bought a gun that it never occurred to me I had a safe full of guns that were perfectly fine for an epic spree.  Ahhh, life is full of missed opportunities.

I'd pass Mikhail, a co-worker at the time, in the hall at work and would tell him "I'm on day 4, still pretty agitated," or "I'm on day 9 and am finally cooling off."  This humor was funny then, and it'll be funny again when we all meet in the re-education camp.

Anyhoo...  I saw the photo above at a favorite blog, and the liberal within screamed "cooling off period."  (The gun nut within said "I need to have one of those.) 

Sorry comrades, but I'm guessing some of you will agree, these need to be held aside until the buyer has calmed the f**k down.

Can you guess what these are?

I'll give you a hint: They were made in America.
