Today there is much controversy over gun control whether people should have where people should have them many things are still foggy but there is some rules set in stone.Some people are not eligible to own, receive, or transport fire arms, a majority of the people are restricted because of crimes that they have committed. But just to name a few more illegal aliens, people diagnosed with any major mental conditions, and people that have been dishonorable discharged from the armed forces. These are simply the restrictions on the people that can purchase and own weapons. There are also limitations on age such as only citizens of 18 or older can buy long guns and only citizens of 21 or older can buy handguns. But there is also a restriction on places you can carry a firearm for example on school properties you cannot carry a firearm with the common carry laws in the state. The most important law to do with the distribution of guns is that a person can only sell a firearm to another person in a interstate transaction where both people are of the correct age to carry the fire arm. The laws may seem quite restrictive but are actually very lenient and still keep the people safe.
