That's kind of vague. What makes it easy in your opinion?

Have you ever tried to actually buy a firearm? Not google the process, but actually went into a gun store and bought one or at least tried to. I ask because a lot of people that say that it's easy, have no idea what's involved in buying one.

In fact, one of the several absentee hosts in Castle Bansalot told me; "that it's just another NRA talking point and gun shops will sell to anyone with cash", when I asked if he ever filled out or even seen a 4473 or passed a NICS background check.
