To purchase one from a dealer in the US, you must be 18 for Title I long guns, and 21 for handguns and NFA regulated items (machine guns, short barreled rifles and shotguns, AOWs, destructive devices, etc.). Possession, on the other hand, may be an entirely different matter, and one which can vary between states. Please ask a state specific question for a more accurate answer.
