Because you don't apply to a gun company to buy a gun. (You actually apply to the government...chew on that one for a while.)

Well, in my state, you don't "apply" for a gun like you apply for a license. It is just document that you purchased it after the seller runs a background check.

The government isn't attesting to your capabilities - that is still on you as a citizen.

Didn't need to chew, I already know the government doesn't do enough to curb gun violence.
