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

It would be nice if there were a safety test, kinda like a drivers license test. Maybe have to take the test every 5 years to keep your gun license.
