It's been a long time since I purchased a weapon, but is this generally
true?
If I go to Walmarts and buy a shotgun, I have to be registered? What about
if
I got to a gun show? Or buy from a friend?

Only handguns, and then only from registered gun dealers. Private
purchases, gifts, and inherited handguns are exempt.

Depends on the State.

In some locales you're also required to demonstrate safe handling
proficiency, too. Here in California you have to show your DOJ (Dept. of
Justice) card, indicating that you paid a dealer to show you how not to
point it at things you don't intend to shoot.
