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.
