    Yeah, pretty much. I have a friend in a state with very similar laws to Indiana. They had bought a DDM4 and was on the range with it later that day. There’s only 13 states that mandate a waiting period.

    2A just short for second amendment rights, part of US constitution that prevents the government from broadly restricting firearms access.

    Felonies are the “big” charges (murder, arson, drug trafficking etc.) That’s a scenario someone’s second amendment can be restricted. Misdemeanor charges are lesser (petty theft, speeding ticket) and not something that would cause a restriction during background checks.

    Edit- to get into the American mindset, invert your understanding of how it “should” work. In most of the world people have to earn a weapon license and prove their responsibility with it, if firearms are even available to the general public. In America everyone can have a gun by default until they’ve committed a crime that causes restriction on an individual basis.
