No, I'm actually not joking. Maybe it's easier in some states, but the process to acquire a gun can be quite lengthy.

*edit: especially so in the more heavily populated states, which tend to have ludicrously restrictive gun control in addition to what the federal government requires. I'm from NJ, see- it was three months between when I applied for my purchaser's ID card and when I actually got the thing, and that's just because my family knows the local police. Only then could I go to a store and buy the weapon itself, and I needed several forms of ID for that in addition to the FFIDC and filling out the usual paperwork. That's for a long gun, mind you- handguns each require a separate permit (which, by the way, expires if you don't buy the gun within a certain period after issue) and a wait period. NJ also has a lovely little bit of red tape which prevents the dealer from directly contacting the FPI for the NICS; you pay $15 for the dealer to call the state police then they call the FBI.

Easy my ass. I'm gonna start the ball rolling on a handgun the day I turn 21- that's August 9th- and I'll bet it will be at least until November or December before I can go and buy it.

"Arms discourage and keep the invader and plunderer in awe, and preserve order in the world as well as property. Horrid mischief would ensue were (the law-abiding) deprived of the use of them." - Thomas Paine

Remember, kids: illiteracy is cool. If you took the time to read this, you are clearly a loser who will never get laid. You've been warned.
