Go to a local sporting goods store and fill out some forms for a background check. When the store calls you back you go pick up your gun. Or you just buy one from an individual. Everyone owns a couple dozen here.

Depending on the state, pretty easy if you can pass the The National Instant Criminal Background Check.
If you are an American citizen, can lawfully own a firearm, and choose to purchase from an individual vs a dealer, a private sale is pretty fast.

Unless youre a convicted felon or convicted of some violent crime like domestic abuse, youre good to go. And must be over 21.

Does the same paperwork count for buying from an individual? Not meaning to come across a bit blank about this

A few Benjamins will get you just about anything. And then there's the legal options.
Just want to make folks smile, and spit coffee on their keyboard.
If you put beans in your chili, you don't know beans about chili.
God doesn't create temporary people, you will spend eternity somewhere. Choose wisely.

So it's really quite easy then? Quite. At least in Texas. Your mileage may vary in such wonderful, crime free areas of the country such as Washington, D.C., New York (state and city), Chicago, all of California, and certain others. Basically just look at a political map of the USA. Red states are easier than blue states to purchase/ own/ carry a firearm.
