Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

There is a form 4473 that has to be filled out and then you undergo a background check to verify that you are not a felon, have a restraining order, a history of domestic violence etc. If you order a gun online it doesn't get shipped to your house but it goes to an FFL (gun stores federally allowed to do said paperwork) and the same process is done there before you can pick it up, usually for a small fee to the people at the FFL.

As long as the state laws allow for it (no wait periods, addtional hoops) and you don't have a criminal history it can really be that simple. Most gun sales are done in like 30 minutes.

Technically as an individual I can sell a gun to anyone without doing a background check or paperwork but if that gun is used in a crime that is easily tracable back to me and my paper trail at the initial sale. There are new rules in place for the "private sale/gunshow loophole" to say when paperwork is mandatory but I haven't read enough to have a good grasp of it
