People who have renounced their citizenship is specifically a disqualification for owning a firearm in the US. They should’ve done their reSEaRcH first.

Also, you can’t buy a firearm and then be rejected on the background check. It works the other way around: pass background check, then buy firearm. Probably a grammatical error, but yeah, words matter.

As for advice: go down to your local hospital and tell them you need to have your head examined due to obvious blunt force trauma.

Kinda. You can buy one, pay for it, and start the background check in the store. They don't hand it over until the background check clears, but you did already pay for it. It can take ten minutes, or a few days. I'm sure the shop will give you a refund if it fails, but I can't attest to that. Just went through it a few weeks ago.
