I think I remember actually asks you on the gun application. I'm not trying to get a gun, either, but I believe I have the right to get one as long as I'm not violent. I might want one for self-defense one day (and that means getting trained to use it, too... Getting one and not being trained ups your chances of yourself ending up hurt). The point is, it's my American right, and people's rights shouldn't be taken away without solid reason.

But as for how they'd find out, I just assumed it would show up in a background check. But I've never done one, so I don't know.
