In a bold move, journalist Clara Jenkins from the Metro Gazette decided to uncover just how simple it is to buy a semi-automatic firearm in the United States. Spoiler alert: It took her a mere seven minutes to walk into a gun shop and leave with an AR-15, a firearm notoriously favored by mass shooters.

Clara was keenly aware of the weapon’s grim legacy; just the previous day, it had been in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons, linked to a tragic mass shooting. “Seven minutes,” she noted in her article. “The same amount of time it probably takes to read the names of the more than 100 individuals affected by gun violence.”

As she drove to the store, Clara wrestled with the thought of what justification she might offer the salesperson. Would it be for personal safety? A passion for firearms? Or perhaps as an NRA member fearing governmental overreach? Ultimately, it turned out she didn’t need to justify her decision at all. The AR-15 was proudly displayed in the window, marketed as “Gun of the Week.”

Just a day after its use in a devastating massacre, this gun was being promoted. When she inquired about the purchasing process, the salesperson only required confirmation of her U.S. citizenship and some identification. “I’ve filled out more paperwork for a routine doctor’s visit than I did for this,” Clara quipped, as she filled out a page and a half of forms, underwent an instant background check, and paid $759.99.

After a lighthearted chat with the store employees, who congratulated her on her timely purchase before any potential “gun runs” due to fear of bans, Clara left the store. “God bless America,” she reflected, noting the absence of any required training or a concealed carry permit. They even tossed in a coupon for a free day pass to a local gun range—how generous!

As she exited, however, a wave of unease washed over her. What was she supposed to do with this firearm? She didn’t want it in her possession, nor did she want it in anyone else’s hands either. So, she made the decision to turn it over to the police.

Ironically, it took her longer to hand in the gun than it did to acquire it. This experience highlights the alarming ease with which firearms can be purchased in the U.S.
