Is it legal to own a gun the gov. doesn't know about?

Like, do you HAVE to register fire arms? I want to legally own guns that they don't know I have. If that even makes sense.

No it doesnt. You have to get them registered. If you dont. Its illegal. Pretty cut and dry.

Depends on where you live. Check the state laws. NJ, NY, and HI all have pretty stringent Gun laws. There may be others that I dont know about. The second amendment protects your right to own a firearm, but the state and local statutes determine whether it needs to be registered or not. Sometimes they regulate how it must be stored and transported. And some regulations apply specifically to handguns vs. Long guns.

NJ is essentially impossible to own a gun unless you are a cop or someone who needs it for work.
IIRC, NY state allows you to own a gun but not NYC.

Hey. Thanks for the replies. My lack of gun knowledge is a result of never feeling the need to own one until recently. Like how you don't know all the ins and outs legalities of buying a house until you actually do...

In Arkansas if you are 21 then you should be able to buy a handgun,shotgun or rifle from a private individual. you don't have to fill out any paperwork or go thru a background check. most sellers do not care to look at your DL to see what your name is.
so who would know you had this gun after you bought it?

so a handgun? you can buy rifles and shotguns at wallmart...handguns are slightly harder to get but not really. my cousin bought a handgun at a gun shop a few months ago and all they did was do a quick background check...he walked out of the store with a gun 20 minutes after going in. Registering a handgun in Alabama is not required if you keep the gun at your home and do not go anywhere with it or shoot it, also have proof of purchase with it if you do not register it. Look up the Alabama gun laws to be sure...but the gun laws here are very loose.

In utah all you need is a BC no need to register. I simply walked into the store with no felonies and bought an ak-47. And walked out with one after filling out one paper.

no, he doesnt have to register any firearm, it's illegal for government to require the registration of guns, he commits no crime by buying from an individual and not registering a gun because the US doesnt have gun registration

other than no gun registration, none of this is correct, it's legal to transport your firearms in Alabama, it's common practice when taking them out to shoot, cant get range time if you cant take your gun to the range, there's also no need for proof of purchase, possession is enough even if the gun is reported stolen because then they get you for possession of a stolen firearm

youre right as far as Federal law goes but there are these things called State and Local laws.

I was only repeating what I was told by a cop when I asked him...since I don't need a gun I don't know the law, that's why I told OP to look up gun laws of Alabama, but after searching for myself I was wrong by all accounts. The cop I asked is an auxilary sheriff so he was probabaly bullshitting me. Either way...LOOK UP ALABAMA GUN LAWS TO BE SURE.
