If I ran a gun shop and wanted to rent guns, I would make rentals contingent upon joining a “club” wherein they are checked using whatever means necessary to insure they are legally allowed to own a gun. After the check is complete, they are issued a card, and then they can rent a firearm for range use.
Renting firearms to anyone that walks in the door just seems like a recipe for trouble.
Hasn't been but since 1986 that they would *sell* a gun to anyone who walked in the door. I have a nice 1911A1 that was the last gun I bought from a dealer before the "background check" became manadatory for handguns, and a "serious social purposes" shotgun that I got before the check was required for long arms. Plus a nice WW-II carbine that I bought with no check, since it was from a private seller, not a dealer.
The receiver for my AR also did not require a background check, even though I bought it just over a year ago. Bought it from a dealer too.
So does letting just anyone that is born in this country just speak their mind. I mean, we should at least run them through a government check to see if they have badmouthed the government before allowing them to exercise their first amendment rights. Then we'll issue them a Free Speech permit.

Your business would be cumbersome, and not profitable.

I’ll bet that you crap your pants thinking that in 1967 anyone could order firearms out of a catalog and have them mailed to their home.
