No, it's very stiff. Especially in regards to hand guns.
You need a permit to buy it. (You have to go to classes to get it)
You need a permit to buy ammo.
You need another permit to transport the gun (between your home and the firing range for instance).
When at home it has to be stored without the firing pin and in a locked box (or with a trigger lock).
The laws are such that if somebody was breaking in to your house, and you shot them, you'd be in much more trouble under Federal gun laws than he would be for breaking and entering.
