Illegal means "against the law". It will depend on the specific laws where YOU are. We get questions from all of the US States, and several other nations.

In most of the US, there is no requirement for registration of ordinary rifles, shotguns, or handguns. Federal law DOES permit the loaning of a firearm to someone for legitimate uses, so long as you do not have reason to believe that person cannot legally possess a firearm ( under age, illegal alien, convicted felon, etc)
