Some people think that if they restrict your ability to buy an object you will change your behavior. In the real world, however, gun laws only increase gun violence, due to the law abiding citizens being unable to defend themselves against gun wielding criminals (who get THEIR guns illegally)
The act of attempting to restrict the access to guns is unconstitutional so it therefor should be banned.

Federal law to purchase from a dealer is 18 for long guns and 21 for handguns. For ownership or possession the federal age limits are 18 for a handgun and no limit for long guns.
There was no US Gun Control Act of 1934 Another Answer: In 1934 the Federal Government passed the National Firearms Act. It placed a 200 dollar tax and other restrictions on the sale of machine guns. It required registration for the ownership of machine guns. It prohibited felons from owning machine guns.
That is the National Shooting Sports Foundation. They promote shooting sports. Gun control attempts to prevent ownership of guns used in shooting sports. No gun= no shooting sports.
Not in the US, but registry is required for ownership or possession of certain types of guns.
The Federal Gun Control Act of 1968 prohibits ownership of firearms by anyone who has been adjudged mentally incompetent. Unfortunately, that excludes a lot of folks who shouldn't have guns, and the Federal statute isn't enforced much on an individual level.
Legal ownership is not the problem.
No, but subject to licensing
Your local police can assist you.
There is some firearms ownership in Japan, but it's extremely restrictive.
Laws on private gun ownership there are very restrictive. Private citizens may not own long guns, and a permit is required to own a handgun. Egypt is about 341st in private ownership of guns.
