I've gone and removed my own posts on this subject matter and, seeing as I am somewhat the instigator of this whole mess, I apologize for spouting my views here, in this inappropriate place.
To make up for it, I can tell you what I know about Dutch laws
If you join a gun club, you can legally purchase weapons after being a member for 1 year, this includes rifles. Of course, there is a background check and such.
A friend of mine works for the Koninklijke Marechausee, sort of the Military Police, and while he is allowed to bring his sidearm home with him, he is never equiped with more than 9 (nine!) bullets at any time, unless the brass sees reason for it.
