The process for purchasing a firearm in the United States generally involves first having a background check which is conducted through the federal National Instant Check System (NICS). After passing the background check, buyers will need to prove their identity by showing proof of age and citizenship. Once these requirements are met, they can then purchase the firearm from a licensed firearms dealer. It is important to note that some states have additional requirements beyond those conducted by NICS and there are also other types of guns, such as those classified as military-style weapons or assault rifles that require additional permission from federal authorities prior to being sold on the civilian market.

The general process for purchasing a firearm in the US includes undergoing a background check and submitting the required paperwork, such as a federal firearms license, to the local gun store or dealer. A waiting period is usually required and once all requirements are met, including passing an in-store demonstration on safety rules and how to use the firearm properly, the prospective buyer can take their gun home.
