    Most of these DO apply to buying a gun and basically all of these apply to buying a supressor. Maybe we should fix that too.

      It’s been a decade, but I bought my firearm at a show/expo, and it took about 15 minutes, my ID/dl, and a form. Nothing too fancy.

      It’s a 9mm though, so maybe ARs and whatnot get more scrutiny. I just wanted self protection after the Pulse shooting.

    Clearly you’ve never bought a gun.

    Add to this - every gun purchase is tracked by the gunsmith, and the Federal Government can seize those records at anytime to see how you “voted”, and can, retroactively, determine that you “voted” illegally and put you in federal prison for it.

    Also, your ID is checked against a federal database with every purchase - this commonly takes 3 days. And that check is tied to the gunsmith.

    Supposedly this isn’t tracked by that database, but do you really trust the government to not do so?

    You should probably educate yourself before making such embarrassing comparisons.

    Maybe we should apply gun purchase laws to voting
