No. Submitting a birth certificate in order to purchase a weapon is not required in any state. A driver's license is sufficient identification..

Yes. People shoot guns that they don't own all the time. Firing ranges rent them, for example.

Criminal history record information check required for the transfer of certain firearms. You must fill out the paperwork and pass the background check, you can then take your firearm with you.
“In addition, no dealer shall sell, rent, trade or transfer from his inventory any assault firearm to any person who is not a citizen of the United States or who is not a person lawfully admitted for permanent residence. To establish citizenship or lawful admission for a permanent residence for purposes of purchasing an assault firearm, a dealer shall require a prospective purchaser to present a certified birth certificate or a certificate of birth abroad issued by the United States State Department, a certificate of citizenship or a certificate of naturalization issued by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services, an unexpired U.S. passport, a United States citizen identification card, a current voter registration card, a current selective service registration card, or an immigrant visa or other documentation of status as a person lawfully admitted for permanent residence issued by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services.”
Attention Gun Show Attendees....Do you need to know what type of ID you need to purchase a firearm from a Federally Licensed Dealer, as we have to turn down a lot of sales when people don’t have these specific ID’s
Attention North Carolina Residents.....
