Massachusetts and New York are about tied for being the state with the strictest gun control laws. In both of those states, one must have a permit just to own a handgun. However, Washington D.C., though not a state, has the strictest laws of all. They have an outright ban on handguns. You can have shotguns or rifles, but they have to be kept locked in a safe, without ammo. Also, they can't be semi-automatic.
There are two main types of gun licenses in the United States: concealed carry permits (which allow individuals to carry a concealed weapon) and firearms licenses (which regulate ownership and purchase of firearms). These licenses vary by state in terms of requirements and restrictions.
The person must have been a citizen of the US for seven years. Article I Section 2 says "No Person shall be a Representative who shall not have attained to the Age of twenty five Years, and been seven Years a Citizen of the United States..."
In 1838 Georgia banned all handguns. Supreme Court found the ban to be unconstitutional. However, to further answer the question, contrary to popular belief, there is very limited registration in the U.S. A few individual states require it, but only a few. There is no federal registration of "normal" firearms, such as handguns and rifles. Some items, known and NFA or Class III items must be registered with the federal government, and a few states don't allow those items within the state. This includes items such as machine guns, silencers, short rifles, and short shotguns.

no, you cant due to the second amendment of the us constitution. The second ammendment of the U.S. has nothing to do with felons. Felons are not allowed to own guns because of the Gun Control Act of 1968.
Pennsylvania Wow, I thought It'd be Alaska or Texas....
A person against gun control. A pro-gun advocate. A pro-2A advocate (in the US).
Your question asks for an opinion. My opinion is that gun control laws are based on a flawed belief that a person who will break laws regarding murder, robbery and rape will obey another law that says they may not have a gun. There are already about 20,000 Federal, State, and local gun laws on the books in the US. Gun control laws frequently do little except keep law abiding people from being able to defend themselves.
Depends on WHICH gun control legislation you mean. In the US, there are already several thousand "gun control" laws on the books. However, they do not work. They DO keep honest people from being able to defend themselves from criminals.
According to the scorecard from the Brady Campaign, California, followed by New jersey, Connecticut, Mass, MD, and New York.
No.
Depends on the state
With a 2000 population of 544,270 Wyoming is the least populous US state.
Wyoming is the least populated U.S. state.
They have protection from Gun Control Laws that are not available in the US.
Depends on what state you are in. In MOST of the US, there IS no requirement to register a gun.
