    In Tennessee, one has to buy liquor from the government, but can buy a gun (including semi-auto rifles) from a random person in a parking lot. No questions asked.

      I know a person who actually obtained a handgun this way. In a parking lot of a bar on Florida, from a seller who was in his lunch break as an electrician… I’ll let those details sink in for anyone safety oriented.

        O noooo, a bar parking lot…the humanity…did this someone you know go on to become a serial killer? Or do you still know them and they’re a normal person.

      Most firearms are semi-auto… what’s your point? You clearly don’t know much about firearms with a statement like that.

      You can do this in pretty much every state as well. Private sales are legal basically in the entire USA.
