"The ATF recommends that if you want to give someone a new firearm, rather than going to a gun store, buying it on your own and giving it to, say a friend or you dad, consider instead purchasing a gift certificate from that retailer and giving it to them as a present. That way he’ll get the exact gun he wants, and there’s no question about who is “the actual buyer of the firearm,” which is a question any purchaser must certify on the Federal Form 4473 at the time of purchase."
Hey Max, how long have we been friends now?
Long time, Frank. Thirty years or so.
That's long. Speaking of long, I'm finished using my long gun. I want to give it to you as a present.
Wow! That's so nice, dude. Why don't you need it anymore?
Well, you know, I've finished my training with the AR-15 and I feel I'm ready to move up. Maybe an AK-47. Had my eye on a Beretta AR70 too. NATO uses that gun.
This is so cool. Is it legal?
Dude, come on. Would I suggest it if it were illegal? You can thank the government. They told me how easy it is to pass on military-style weapons to whoever the fuck you want. No paper work trail, no fuss, no muss.
What about Stevie? Can Stevie have a gun too?
Who is Stevie?
He lives inside me. You never met him? Can he have a gun? Can he?
Sure, Stevie can have whatever he wants.
Good. Stevie gets mad if you say no to him.
Hey, maybe Stevie wants this gun? I call it a "short"gun. Hee hee. Get it?
Are you calling me short?
No no. It's a joke. It's called a hand gun.
Are you saying my penis is short? My penis is bigger than this hand gun, you know.
Ya, ya, I know. I mean, I don't know. I believe you.
Okay, but don't ever call me short again. I think I know how this works. You press this, right?
Careful, it's load……………(bang, splat)
Frank, you okay? You don't look okay. Hello? Guess you won't be needing your car either? Ah, forget it. Too much paper work involved.
Christmas is coming, folks.
