In the USA anyone of age who is not a convicted felon can purchase
a gun from a dealer. There is also no law anyone cannot purchase
a gun in a parking lot deal. Are those buyers or sellers felons
or in possession of stolen weapons? Maybe, maybe not but there's
no law preventing them from doing the deal.


Better read the current laws in your state and the federal laws.

Involuntary commitment or civil commitment to mental health precludes
one from buying a gun - does not include a person voluntarily seeking
counseling or treatment.

You don't think mentally ill people are smart enough to lie on a
firearms application??


You said that if you're not a felon you can buy a gun from a dealer
anywhere in the USA. That implies that it's the only disqualifying
issue. That isn't true. Sure, a mental case can lie. So too can
a felon. So, what's your point? Obviously you've stepped in it,
now instead of simply admitting a mistake, you're doubling down.
Are you related to Trump?

In the entire USA if you've be confined to a mental hospital, adjucated
a nut by a court, etc, you are prohibited from buying a gun, just as if
you were a felon. Many states have far more disqualifiers than that.




Nevada just passed, by ballot measure that closed the ALLEDGED gun
show loop hole (spit) You can't lone a weapon to a friend for hunting
purposes without both going to a FFL and having a "background check".

And you think Bob wants to borrow Bills gun to go hunting and he's going
to say let me get an FFL and do a background check on you?


Your claim was with regard to "buying" a gun.
