is a gun licence required to purchase ammunition like 9mm rounds?

I wouldn't think so, but it would depend on the state.  My state no you don't have to.

you need a retail license.

Actually it depends on the state you live in.  In Georgia, you only have to be 18 to purchase rifles and shotguns...handguns are restricted to age 21 and older.

A gun that doesn't look like a gun is classified by the BATFE as an AOW, or Any Other Weapon. In order to purchase an AOW, you must fill out some ATF paperwork, get the chief law enforcement officer to sign off on the paperwork, submit fingerprints and 2 photographs, submit to a criminal background check, wait for the ATF to approve the purchase, and pay for a special tax stamp that must be affixed to the paperwork. Furthermore, you really should have the paperwork with the AOW at all times to prove its legality.\n\nAre you really sure you want to go through all that?

Yes, and the person selling it must also have a permit.\n\nThe sales and purchases of all HANDGUNS in the State of North Carolina are restricted to persons having a PERMIT TO PURCHSE A HANDGUN issued by the Sheriff of the county where the purchaser resides. Applicants are checked for past and present criminal activity, drug addiction, mental deficiency, residency requirements, age, employment, and propensity for violence. The approval or denial of a HANDGUN PERMIT is based on the information you provide on the application.\n\nThe application is to lawfully purchase a handgun and does not give you authority to conceal or lawfully carry a handgun.\n\nYou will have to look it up for your county, but here is an example of what kind of application you have to fill out: http://www.stanlysheriff.org/handgun.htm

You do not need a permit to purchase the gun, only fill out a 4473 and pass the NCIC background check. To carry the gun on your person you will need a carry permit.  For transporting the gun, if you don't have a permit, it needs to be locked up  in your car and unloaded.

Yes. You can get a license to own an automatic weapon, but the AR15 looks exactly the same. You fill out an application with a Class III dealer (only a few around)  & lay down a deposit. The feds do a hardcore background check plus the $250 fee per weapon. IF & when they clear you, complete the purchase, but they have the right to no-warrant search your house at any time to inspect the storage conditions. Call your local ATF office, explain you're a collector & want to figure out the process. Also be aware that some states (Ca, NY) have additional regulations that the feds will not care about, so they may license you in Ca, but that doesn't prevent your local/state cops from busting down your door. There's also regulations about transport & such. Do lots of research.

Yes. The person for whom it is issued can't own a firearm for a certain period among other restrictions.

Depends, a 9mm, .45, .223, or 7.62x39, or a .50bmg. \n\nThe only one gauranteed to go through would be the .50bmg.\nBut with a few shots (even as little as 3) the .223 or 7.62x39 could easily go through.  \n\nIn lay man's terms, a handgun, no.  A rifle, maybe.

9/11 has nothing to do with gun ownership.  In fact, the rules have been eased in many states since 9/11.\n\n2 states, Vermont and Alaska, have no restrictions on ownership and do not require permits.  \n\n37 states have "shall issue" laws that require issuance of a permit to anyone who meets certain qualifications, i.e., no felonies, no mental defect, completion of training, pay a fee, etc.  Local authorities are not allowed to refuse a permit application from a qualified applicant.\n\n9 states have "may issue" laws that permit local authorities to deny a permit for any reason.  For example, if you live in rural upstate New York, you'll probably get a permit easily but don't even ask in New York City unless you own a jewelry store.\n\n2 states, Illinois and Wisconsin, prohibit concealed carry and have no provisions for issuance of permits.  Pundits predict that Wisconsin will have a CC law by the end of 2007, maybe sooner.\n\nSo, that begs a question:  What the heck IS your question??

RPGs your allowed to own legally, and if your licensed to, you can legally own plastic grenades, (much waiting involved with the feds on waiting lists.) anything that’s considered a weapon, and can be considered "fully automatic" unless its a car, its illegal in any case.  unless your a secret squirrel for the government, they're going to have a pretty big problem with finding out you even want one.  (but, I don’t really plan on contacting anyone about this question, or any question I read on here, so duh.)  \n\nsilencers innately affect the accuracy of a gun, so a silencer on anything, especially something with a short barrel like that of a pistol, is going to severely affect the accuracy.  you will not find an accurate pistol like the one you speak of, the barrel is just too short to make any bullet accurate.  but if you try your local pawn shop, you'll be sure to find a good ol' regular one.  you can pick up a 50 cal from your local army surplus, however, it will be missing some key components that are pretty hard to reproduce. if anyone does find out that you somehow managed to arm this kind of weapon, they would raid your house just to confiscate it.   \n\nhonestly, I know somebody like you.  he owns like 20 guns.  (none of which are capable of blowing a hole in anything any smaller than a foot wide) even a German pistol from world war 2 with a Nazi sign on it. (its pretty old, but it is a piece of history)  except for he doesn’t have the balls to pull the trigger when he needs to.  its pretty sad.

Anything you need to know, you can find on the link below. It is from the NRA/ILA (NRA's legal division, see second link). \n\nIt seems that you will need to provide the gunshop with your photo I.D., name, birth date, gender, race and social security number, at the very least. There will be a fee for any background checks that they need to run. \n\nReally, your best bet is going to be to call the gunshop you are considering making a purchase and see what they're procedures are. \n\nGood luck.

Yes, in North Carolina, there is a three day waiting period to purchase a hand gun. This is after you have taken the time from work to take a state mandated fire arms safety course, go to your county's sheriff's office and fill out the necessary paperwork for a criminal background check and FBI search and fill out an application for hand gun purchase. In the mean time, you could have bought as many of what ever you want off a street corner in one day and be done with it. The criminals have it made in this country...why do they make honest people go through so much to get a hand gun? I know other states are even harder to deal with....New York being one of the toughest! They're trying to make honest people not want to even have guns.\n\nWhy isn't there a national standard on the gun law? Should individual states be able to create their own laws concerning something straight out of the Constitution?

If you want a legal gun, you need to be over 18, have a valid ID, no felony convictions and be a US citizen. After you fill out the paperwork they make a call and run your info. If you come back clean then you pay for it and leave. I own quite a few guns and I have been through this many times.

I believe that depends on the state you are in but in my state you only have to be 16 to buy a gun.

Unless you are in one of the few communist states in America, all you will need to fill out is a 4473...all of your personal information, a question asking if you are the actual buyer of the firearm, several questions concerning any criminal record, a question concerning your american citizenship, another asking if you have ever denounced your citizenship, and that's about it...the store calls the FBI, they make sure you are telling the truth and you can legally own a firearm, and if you are approved, you're done.  Alot less complicated than it sounds...plus, of course, you must be 18 or older...

No they don't function the same!!! You can buy fully automatic weapons in the US, with an extremely invasive background check that exceeds what it takes to work in nuclear weapons labs & signing a consent for federal agents to search any property in your name or that they can associate with you in order to inspect storage conditions of any weapon you may own, plus of course a significant fee. \n\nThe weapons you saw LOOK LIKE m16s or AK47s. The M16 actually would be the civilian AR15 version, and the AK47 typically available in the US is imported & significantly modified so that it is semi-automatic & difficult (not to mention highly illegal) to modify back to fully automatic. \n\nThat said, you don't need weapons like this for home defense or hunting, and generally they are not very good for either one. However, a lot of people like to see what the weapons used by soldiers are like. That's fine, if they want to spend 2500-3000 dollars to shoot what aren't the best guns available anyway then what do you care?\n\nAs far as WHY guns should be available, you do have to understand WHY that clause is in the constitution. The founders had just been thru a war where it was necessary for the population to rise up & overthrow an oppressive govt by violent means. They wanted the public to own weapons as a check/balance against the US govt becoming the oppressive thing the British had been. Now obviously the world has changed somewhat & I'd be fairly worried if you could go out & buy anti-tank missles, but the point of the constitutional provision still prevents swift police state like tyranny by the govt, and that's a good thing.
