All the gun stores and dealers do is call a database (NCIC) hotline, give them your name DOB and SSN. They say they don't keep the info on file in a registry, but do you believe this... Anyway, they see if you're a felon, or other person who cannot own a gun legally, other than that it's just like buying anything else. For PTP sales, it's a simple manner of trade like anything else. As for the people who aren't legally allowed they get them the same way they get illicit drugs- the black market. Anyway, if you're a felon with a gun, it's an automatic 5 years in a federal pen just for the gun (and each bullet if they want to be dickheads), makes it an automatic federal case, and it usually doubles the time you do with other cases so you better have a REALLY good reason to have it and be mentally prepared to use it if need be. Save the last bullet for yourself.
