You can buy a shotgun (um.. not pump action, or sawn off) or a rifle (probably not anything you could kill a tank with) with a licence, which isn't hard to get as long as you don't have a record for violent crime. Katanas are legal, most swords are, but you can't wave them around in public without a good reason (reinactment or martial arts of some kind).

Of course, if you know enough about guns to be willing to spend the kind of money in acquiring ones like these, removing said modification is fairly trivial.
