It depends on what you mean "bullets", where you are, and how you acquired them. If you dug up bullets on an old battlefield, there may be laws that make them the property of the landowner or the local historical commission.

If you refer to live firearm cartridges that contain gunpowder and a bullet, then your local firearms statutes and regulations will tell you whether you can purchase or possess them. In some states you can "own" them, but you cannot carry them outside your home without a license to carry firearms or at least a firearms identification card. In other places, you can buy and possess bullets (cartridges) without a license, but only if you're over 18 years old and show local identification as proof.

Can on bullet be an evidence of crime even if you had no gun?

Yes, it can and it has. If a witness can be found that has seen a suspected gun fired at another place or time and those previously fired bullets can be recovered, they can be compared positively or negatively to the bullets used in a crime. This situation has occurred in a number of real cases and was effective evidence in court against a defendant who had disposed of the gun used in the crime when the gun could not be found.

What is the name of the study of bullets and how they are fired?

There is no such thing as the "study of bullets", except, perhaps, as a historian. However, one may study the effectsof bullets using "ballistics", and a person who does so for a living would be called a "ballistics expert"; someone who is trained to do such at a crime scene or laboratory may also be called a "forensics specialist", but the word "forensics" has nothing to do with bullets.
