Yes.  We can get them in any configuration (bbl. length, bayo lug, flash hider). But they are classed as restricted just like handguns.  Even for .22's and shotguns , we can no longer  (scince our new Gun Control Act) just go into a hardware store and buy one without first having a firearms purchasing licence. The restricted class you can not just carry one around with you like you can with a hunting rifle. Y ou need a special permit to take one to the range, and that is the only place you can actually discharge one ( eg. you can't take it over to the freinds farm and shoot it, nor can you carry it in the bush hunting.)
It used to be common to see a rifle  hanging in the back window of pickups, but there is getting to be a lot of anti gun sentiment orchestrated by the lobbyists and the gov't. Now you almost feel like you're packing kiddie porn or something and want to keep it hidden.
