Can confirm ah Ram?
Unlawful possession of firearms, 7 years. Smuggling (a.k.a. buying, selling or trading) firearms, death penalty. What's the difference between unlawful possession and smuggling? For example, a wife's husband is a police detective and she took his firearms. That's unlawful possession. But if she goes around enquiring and acquiring firearms privately, that's smuggling. All firearms trade not sanctionced by army, police and government is smuggling.
Another important difference with firearms offence is attempted murder. If you plunge a dagger into someone but he lives, that's not murder, that's just attempted murder. Depending on how good your evidence and lawyer is, average anywhere between 10 to 20 years. If you open fire, that's straight death penalty case whether you hit or miss, he dies or not, regardless of how you've acquired your firearms, unless you're soldier or police in the line of duty.
In US, yes, just go to a gunshop or supermarket and you can buy pistols, rifles and ammos, but you must register your identity with them. If you want it to be discreet, just go to any big city street corner and ask the Black or Hispanic hanging around there. Pay a little more commission and it can be arranged too.
