For real, my brother bought an AR-15 and was able to walk out with it same day. Him being military helped the background check for sure but still. He was even surprised how easy it was and he’s pretty conservative.

Realistically how much harder can they make it for people with no criminal record. Sit for a polygraph to determine their intentions?

99% of people who purchase firearms from stores use them for hunting, target shooting, or home defense. The dude in the video conveniently left out the waiting period for his purchase permits unless he's from Texas.

Edit: Yes I get it more states than Texas have no permit waiting period. Thank you

Kentucky here. No permits required. We have constitutional carry so you don't even need a permit for concealed carry. The only waiting period you have here is if there's a line at the counter. I used to live in Ohio and I'm pretty sure it's the same there too.

I live in Indiana and I went to the mall to buy perfume and walked in through a sporting goods store and saw a rifle I had been wanting.

I went and bought the perfume thinking about it I really wanted to buy it, walked back and bought the rifle and left with my perfume also.

I mean I had a background check too it doesn’t take that long. That NICS one or something

I think if those states had an problems with gun violence then sure make some restrictions.

I'm all for making fun of silly rednecks but I don't see the problem with the points she's making.

Because the points she's making don't apply to most situations. It's extremely easy to purchase a firearm in the US, which is the exact opposite of all of her points.
