You're not buying a pistol, at least not in this political climate.

The transfer freeze will be long implemented before you get your license. You're looking at 6+ months before you even get your license. Freeze is expected to hit in October.

Your only hope is to get licensed now and then pray the freeze is reverted at some point in the future.
