I'm in favor of allowing people to buy basic guns for self-defense so you've got yourself a deal!

no lie, that'd be a significant improvement.
was looking into the rules here.

you're gonna wait about a year no matter what.
if you want a handgun you literally need to write an essay about why you want a gun, get multiple people saying you're fine, do an interview, and are pretty much going to get denied unless you're a celebrity of some kind. oh, and if you get denied you paid your fee for nothing.

rifles and shotguns are easier, technically, though there's a billion restrictions that are absurd and silly because there's always a workaround since, y'know, it's a modular weapon. they don't have an interview, so that's a start. still gonna take 9+ months.

it's really, really fucking stupid and unsurprising that 3/4 of our guns come from out of state. anybody who wants one just looks at everything it takes and goes fuck that, i'll just go to PA, to Vermont, to NH, to anywhere else that's easier to buy. ....or 3D print these days. that's on the rise too.
