Must be registered by multiple forms, licenses and practically on constant track. In other words, its legal but it must be registered to the dime.

Everyone except convicted felons are allowed to carry a firearm unrestricted and concealed if they so wish. The Right to Bear Arms is very dear to us.

As long as you have a licence to show that you know how to use a weapon correctly, responsibly and maintain that weapon. You can own what ever the hell firearm you like.

Every Registered Citizen may own a gun, but any history of violence in the family may bar them from having a license, afterall, if your Dad murdered someone, why should you have a gun?

We allow citizens to own any kind of fire arm, but they all require specific licenses, which is ordered in a hierarchy of permits.
It goes:
Hunting Permit>Concealed Carry Permit>Assault Weapon License> Military License
People can buy hunting rifles and shotguns with a hunting license, which requires the person to go through a few safety examinations. The hunting license never expires, and can be received as early as 14 with parental consent. To own pistols or other concealable firearms, one must get a concealed carry permit, which requires a hunting permit and also has a background check and requires the person to be a legal adult (18), It never expires unless the owner is convicted of a felony, which can be gotten back after three years after serving their sentence, unless the crime involved illegal use of guns on their part, in which case they can not get back their license. An Assault Weapon allows the owner access to most General Issue weapons of the military, including assault rifles and the like. It requires a concealed Carry license, and has the same rules as the concealed carry license. The Military License is provided to all veterans of the proffesinal army, and can also be applied for by citizens who hold an Assault Weapon License. It allows the person access to every firearm available, from machine guns to explosive ordnance to flamethrowers.

Note that all permits except the last one are very easy to get, and all three can be gotten in the same day. Most citizens of Goldsaver have an Assault Weapon License.

Ok, if ANYONE in your family has ever committed a crime(with or without a gun) you will be barred from handling a weapon.

Everyone is entitled to own a gun because everyone is in the military. Compulsory enlistment works wonders when coupled with secret police.

Complete freedom to own firearms, in fact, for a male, it's virtually required, since all males (and many females) are enlisted in the Militia, ready to defend at a moment's notice.

It really depends on who you are. If you are a white person, especially of Germanic extraction, then you can have as many guns as you want, really, without more than a basic permit.

If you are black, however, there is an extensive permitting process, applications, background and loyalty checks, and so on, and even then a legally approved application is unlikely.
