I'm just curious if you need a license or anything to own a gun, not hunt.

Just walk in to the gun shop and walk out with your weapon of choice. Easy. They do an immediate background check on you via phone and you pay and you go home with your gun. No waiting periods or any BS. Just be 18 for long guns and 21 for handguns, and have a clean record.
NOTE: This is for Virginia and West Virginia, the two states I have dealt with. OTHER STATES AND LOCALITIES may have different laws & procedures. Many states make gun purchases EASY, a few require a gun license.

It depends on the state you live in. In some states you must have a license for any gun. Some states you must have a license for hand guns only. Check with your local police department.

Depends on where you live. Some places all you need is a clean record and enough bucks to buy one. Other places you need a licence or permit. Some places won't let you own a handgun at all. So like I said, it depends on where you live. I'd check with the local cops. They can give you the info you need for where you live.

If you're in a state that still trusts its citizens, you need to be a competent adult with some form of identification, like a driver's license, and enough money to buy it. A past conviction on a felony or violent misdemeanor may be a prohibition.

Really depends on your locale, and what kind of gun you want, but the general answer would be no
