Gun History

Perhaps someone let me know, to own a gun in US, do you need to attend any type of classes or get some license to own one?

I only know about the states where I've had residency. I'm a gun owner and the only state I ever had to get a license to own was California. I also had to pass a basic firearm safety class. In Alabama, you do have to pass a class to get a hunting license (that includes firearm safety) but don't have to do anything to own a firearm. There wasn't even a wait period for my most recent purchase in Louisiana--the gun store had a shooting club attached and so it was considered a 'private sale.'
