1 a membership from a shooting range
2 you need to be active in the shooting range (at least a dozen times a year)
3 you need to take an exam every 5 years
4 you need to pay extra tax every 5 years
5 your doctor needs to sign a weaver that you are capable of owning a gun
6 you need a special cage to store your gun
7 you need a signature of every person over 18 years old, living in your house
8 certain calibers are just illegal, no normal civillian can own them... Period (it's pretty hard to own a firearm other than caliber 6 and 9 mm)
9 the amount of ammunition you can own is limited (i think you can have 10.000 cartridges as a private citizen)
So it's basically almost impossible to own a gun legally (many people own guns illegally tough). However, gun related deaths are pretty low.
EDIT: even after all these thing, the government can change gun controll laws whenever they want. If you stop complying to the new laws, you have to turn in your firearm with the police for free, even when you bought it legally... (this actually happened on two occasions the last couple of years)
What is "legal?" All legal is, is some people telling some other people what to do.
If you want to be a person who adheres to legal, all that means is that you want the right to tell others what to do and to be told what to do by others.
It is lawful for everyone to own guns, even though it might not be legal.
What gives anyone the right to tell anyone else what to do with their lives or property? Nothing.
Every legal action is unlawful in some ways, even though it might be lawful in other ways. Legal has to do with taking the rights away from some people while enhancing the rights of others.
Owning guns might be illegal in some areas or ways, but it is lawful.
