This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

No. That wouldn't happen in a gun store.
You'd have to go to a gun show.
Edit: a gun show is like comic con, only for guns.
I mean Terminator 1 takes place in 1984. As far a quick search goes, there were no background checks, no assault weapon ban, no waiting period, ..etc
I think you could still buy machine guns. No phased plasma rifles though.
It's really difficult to buy them even now.
The process is quite simple. It's just the prices...
I mean you can still buy them with a tax stamp if they're made before '86, but you're going to pay a lot and it'll take some time to transfer. I think at the time that you could just walk into a gun store and buy a new Uzi.
