Can you tell me the general process for purchasing a firearm in the US?

The general process for purchasing a firearm in the US begins with filling out the requisite paperwork and conducting a background check through an FBI instant criminal background check. Applicants must also be at least 18 years old and undergo a safety training and questions (ASTQ) course. Once the background check is completed, the gun dealer processes the paperwork and notifies the potential buyer. Lastly, the buyer is responsible for completing the necessary paperwork and paying the fees, allowing the firearm to be transferred to them by the gun dealer.
