Do I have to have declared residency in Minnesota (pay my taxes in Minnesota, have a Minnesota driver's license and plate, etc) to get a permit to purchase?
Also, can the permit be used for more than one gun in the one year period? Or do you need to get a new one every time you want to buy a handgun or "AW"? For example, what if I want to buy 2 ARs and a handgun? How would that work out in terms of paperwork?

I don't remember the answer to the residency requirement.
However, the permit can be used for multiple firearms in the one year period. I've purchased several on mine so far

Keep in mind that when you get your permit to carry, it is also your permit to purchase.
Not only that it is valid for five years instead of the one year that the permit to purchase is good for.

Section 624.7131 does not require that the applicant be a Minnesota resident BUT federal law prohibits a non-FFL from purchasing a handgun in any state in which they are not a current resident.
You can get the permit but you can't use it.
State and federal laws concerning firearms often fail to coordinate.
CSM (and most of their legislative fellow-travelers) won't allow us to clean up these problems unless we agree to make things worse for the gun owner attempting to comply with the law. Remember that the Brady Campaign's current "grand" strategy is to harass the law-abiding into voluntarily abandoning gun possession because it is too much hassle. They have been pretty successful with reducing hunting.

I'm not sure whether I'll legally be a resident immediately or not.
I'm going to be living in the Twin Cities for over 3 years. Not sure if that legally makes me a resident.

Minnesota, like most states, doesn't have a formal residency requirement involving a minimum number of days. You live where you say you live.
Questions only come up when people maintain two or more residences. The case law is pretty clear that seasonal change of residence is OK. So if you live in AZ during the winter and MN during the summer, you can buy a pistol in either place. But if you come back to MN for a week during Christmas to see your kids, you apparently aren't supposed to buy a pistol that week because it's not a change of residence.

I wouldn't give them too much credit. The paucity of game, declining cooperation of landowners, land use changes, and increasing density of hunters on what public land is open to hunting deserve most of the blame.

Why couldn't Lawguy get a MN drivers license and his residence utilities in his name. and once he has a MN d/l and a current bill in hand, go apply for your permit to purchase?

I would say that once one has a driver's license in MN, you are considered a resident.

Do I just go to the DMV, show them my Florida Driver' License, pay a fee, and get a MN Driver's License? I would bring something that shows that I live in MN at that time.

Click on 'Driver Info' on the left, followed by 'New Resident' - lists everything you need to bring/do for both Driver's License and License Plates/Vehicle Registration.

Interesting, they don't require a proof of address (like a utility bill). Sounds like you could go right away to get a MN license.
