Quote:Is it really that difficult for law abiding citizens to purchase a gun? In Tennessee you get fingerprinted, fill out a form, pay $10 for a criminal history check that takes about 15 minutes, then you can buy a gun. That's difficult?

 

All those steps are unconstitutional infringements.  And the background system is often swamped so the gun dealer calling it in may not even get through.  If you make a mistake filling out the form, it's a felony.  There's also a 3 business day waiting period before you can actually walk out with it.  Yes, it's difficult. 

 

When I was a kid you could order a 20mm anti-tank Solothurn and cases of belt-fed ammo through the mail.  No age requirement.
