There is a difference (legal) between OWNING and POSSESSING a gun. Under Federal law, you are barred from possessing a firearm if: you have been convicted of a felony, are under indictment for a felony, are a fugitive from justice, have been convicted of a crime of domestic violence, have received a dishonorable discharge from the US Military, are a US citizen that renounced your citizenship, are an illegal alien, are an unlawful user of drugs or have been adjudged as mentally incompetent. In addition, you may not purchase a firearm if you are under age. A firearm may only be purchased in your home state, except a rifle or shotgun can be bought from a licensed dealer in another state. You must have at least 2 forms of ID, one of them being a government issued photo ID. If you are not a permanent resident of the US, there are additional restrictions.
