chosen.content: In the United States, the Federal Government regulates the sale of firearms and they must be obtained through a federally-licensed gun dealer. Individuals must first pass a background check and fill out paperwork, and the dealer will then facilitate the sale. Generally, firearms purchased from a dealer must be picked up in person from the dealer. Depending on local laws, some types of firearms may not be available for purchase in certain locations. Be sure to do research on what firearms are legal to own in your state.

rejected.content: In the United States, anyone over the age of 18 who is not a convicted felon can purchase a rifle as long as they pass a background check and follow all local regulations. Generally, the background check is performed by a licensed firearm retailer and the gun can be purchased from the retailer in person or online. In some states, it is also possible to purchase a rifle from a private individual, such as through an online or newspaper classified ad.
