chosen.content: In the United States, the general process for purchasing a firearm involves a number of steps. In most cases, a background check is conducted to determine if the individual is eligible to buy a firearm and legally allowed to possess it. This background check is conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and can take a few days. Additionally, individuals must provide their personal information, such as their name, address, birthdate, and phone number. If purchasing a long gun (e.g. an AR-15), the individual must also fill out an federal form known as the ATF Form 4473.
  
  Once the form is submitted, the prospective buyer will have to wait for the firearm seller to complete the background check and receive an authorization from the Federal Bureau of Investigation. This process may vary by state and the seller, though most often takes a few hours. After the background check is approved, and the firearm is purchased, the individual must then take the firearm to a local gun shop, where it must be registered. Finally, depending on the state, an individual may need to take the firearm to an Authorized Firearm Instructor to obtain a License to Carry or other appropriate certifications.

rejected.content: The process of purchasing a firearm in the US depends on the State, but generally involves filling out paperwork, conducting background checks, and paying for the firearm. Once the purchaser has provided their paperwork and background check information, the store or dealer will conduct the necessary background checks and make a determination whether to sale the firearm. The purchaser will then be notified and have the option of paying for the firearm before it is released. Generally, a firearm purchase cannot proceed if the background check does not provide a favorable result.
