Gun History

Not in this State of SC, NK.
for handguns ... You must be 21 years old, a non-felon, you must have a background check ( ie. 5 day wait) unless you possess a CCW/CWP.
For rifles and shotguns the age is 19 I think, and fill out proper paperwork, been so long since i bought a rifle I don't know if they do a background check for a rifle or not. They used to not.
The only thing class wise mandatory at this point is any hunter born after 1986 must attend Hunter's Ed a class mostly on state laws and hunting morals to obtain hunting permit.

There are national instant background checks for both rifles and handguns through out the US (federal law). You also have to fill out 4473 form (also federal law). Felons don't get any firearm, period.

All of it is useless of course and does not stop or even slow down criminals in the slightest which makes me wonder why we don't just go back to following the US constitution?

A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.

And do away with all of these federal laws.

Agreed but then what would we as citizens and tax payers spend all our money on if we didn't have the government to waste it all?

Looking in from the other side of the pond...

Did that not mean that people were given a right to bear arms to protect The state, not that they have a right to bear arms to protect their own their own private and personal state?
