Sure, buy a new one today and there is federal paperwork involved.
One used to be able to order rifles from the Sears catalog. No background checks, no age verification. Send the money, Sears sends the gun through the mail. Friends sell/trade with friends, dad gives his son his first .22, later his first 12-guage shotgun. "You want my go-cart? I'll trade for your 30-30!"
Not long ago, all normal everyday activity. And all of those are still out there, somewhere.

Sure there used to be a time like you discribed, and good times they were. but that was then and this is now.
Times and people have changed, leading to the increase of gun crimes and mass shootings of these times.
Society has decided to try to stem the tide of unlimited gun access in an effort to reduce these burgeoning crimes using guns.
No doubt there are allready lots of guns out there, lots of them kept safely out of harms way. But lots out on the streets and available to be used in mischief. If we let continued unlimited access to guns there will be many more out on the streets.
That is what is trying to be reduced. Apparently much to the chagrin of some gun enthusiast who were accustomed to things the way they were. And seem to want to resist the efforts to address these changing times.
In Green, anyone got a good link for home made RPGs?
