Can you tell me how to purchase a firearm in the US, like a rifle?

To purchase a firearm, including a rifle, in the United States you need to obtain a federal firearms license (FFL) from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). Additionally, you must pass background checks under both federal and state law, and you must be at least 18 years old to purchase a long gun, 21 years old to purchase a handgun, and sometimes be a resident of the state where you are purchasing the firearm. You will need to provide identification and possibly fingerprints for a background check. Depending on state law and the gun store policies, you may have to fill out paperwork, pass a safety class, or complete a waiting period before being allowed to buy the rifle.
