Nice another uneducated take that shows no understanding of the firearms buying process.

In the great state of Texas, as I understand the process:

-walk into a licensed firearm dealer

-show government ID (e.g. drivers license)

-fill out ATF form 4473 (approx. two pages)

-wait for background check (called NICS, Near Instance Criminal Background Check System)

-pay for firearm

Did I miss any steps?

Little bit different than “ simply by walking into a store and asking for one” no?

Almost like anti-gun people are purposely disingenuous when they state stuff like this and ignore the background check.
