I can without equivocation or uncertainty tell you “it depends”!I presume you to mean a registry much like cars are registered. The state knows what cars you have and where they “spend the night”. All said registry does is provide an annual revenue stream for taxes, and should you not pay taxes or they deem your car unfit, they know where to send the tow trucks. Registration does nothing to prevent crime, as many think.There are as I recall 6 states that maintain a state registry of firearm ownership. CA likely thinks I’m still there and have my Glock. I have it but I’m no longer in CA.It’s against federal law for there to be a federal registry. That’s not to say there isn’t an unadvertised one.Every gun is registered with the ATF to the manufacturer, who keeps track who they sent it to. That seller maintains a 4473 as to who they sold it to. Once the gun goes through a private sale (outside of those 6 states, or if the transfer requirements are ignored in those states, which is very common) or is stolen, that chain of 4473s stops cold. So it’s not a real registry, but is a way to trace guns much of the time. 4473 tracing means a manual lookup by each dealer, it’s not online. I don’t know what happens to 4473s that are filled out on a computer, but I suspect that data just stays on the seller’s computer.The NICS background check contains no information about the gun(s) being bought and is supposed to be purged inside 3 days.The idea that every gun is registered to the end user and there are no criminals who fail to register their guns is all Hollywood.

Depends on who you talk to.They came into existence as an enforcement arm of the IRS, whose job it was to investigate events where alcohol, tobacco and firearms were being made or sold without the government getting its cut. Not too many people like the IRS, so take that hatred and multiply it by a bunch of guys in tactical gear swarming your house looking for moonshine or ghost guns.Ruby Ridge and Waco. In the Ruby Ridge incident, the ATF set up a sting operation that crossed the line into entrapment, and ultimately devolved into a standoff between the ATF and Randy Weaver’s family, two of whom were killed along with a US Marshall in the initial firefight. Ultimately, Weaver and a family friend Kevin Harris were acquitted of all charges except for failure to appear on the initial weapons charges, and subsequent civil suits for wrongful death resulted in a combined $3.5 million payout to the Weaver and Harris families.The siege and raid of the Branch Davidian compound outside Waco was initiated by the ATF in concert with the FBI to search for and secure a number of illegally-manufactured automatic weapons thought to exist in the compound, as well as to arrest cult leader David Koresh and other cut leaders. In the initial raid, four agents and 6 Branch Davidians were killed, leading to a 51-day standoff culminating in a second raid. The compound was set ablaze, with the ATF and civil rights groups pointing fingers every which way regarding who started the fire. The fire claimed the lives of the cult leader David Koresh and 75 other Branch Davidian members.These incidents led to calls to rein in the ATF and other federal law enforcement, and as a result the ATF was severely defunded by the Clinton Administration even as sweeping gun control reforms such as NICS were coming online.It’s not doing its job. As a result of the rollback of ATF power, as well as a threefold increase in annual gun sales during the Obama Administration compared to 2006 numbers, the ATF simply does not have the field staff required to meet its various mandates. For instance, it’s require to perform a full audit of each of the 135,000 FFLs annually to make sure the paperwork is in order. It manages just 7% of them each year, and some stores have not had an ATF audit in a decade. It’s supposed to process paperwork for NFA items like silencers, machine guns and short-barreled firearms within 90 days; last I checked the backlog was 8 months long.The whole Second Amendment thing. The ATF is the embodiment of the Federal infringement of the right to keep and bear arms protected by the Second Amendment. We can have semantic and legal discussions of the difference between “infringe” and “restrict”, and the level to which the RKBA is not absolute. It remains that the very weapons the authors of the Amendment intended for citizens to have, of a type that would be suitable for combat and military service by infantrymen, are the ones most restricted to the point of banning them outright under Federal law, and the ATF are the ones whose three letters will most likely be on the black jackets of agents surrounding some suburban home after a SWAT raid.

Recently in NYS a newspaper got ahold of a list of folks with concealed carry permits in that particular county and published it. “Because the people have the right to know.” They also, IMS, had the list online to aid people in seeing if their neighbor had a gun that was likely to get loose and kill them. Gun owner rights groups howled but the newspaper and the reporter were unrepentant despite the very real risk of break in robbery these law abiding citizens were now exposed to. Why pay for a gun when you can get one for free?Then someone released the names, addresses and home phone numbers of the paper's editorial board and of the reporter. The newspaper staff said that was a dirty trick and exposed them to dangerous reprisals when they’d done nothing illegal.True, but “the public has the right to know…..”I wonder how many guns fell into the hands of prohibited persons thanks to this idiotic attempt at reducing gun crimes?edit:Now one town has banned “assault rifles” and is fining residents $1,000 a day unless they turn them in.Does This Illinois Town Have the Country’s Toughest Gun Law?“At issue: an assault weapons ban passed unanimously last month by six trustees and the mayor. It requires residents turn in assault-style weapons and imposes a fine of $250 to $1,000 a day, much stiffer than the usual penalties that are calculated per weapon, not escalating per day, by gun laws in other parts of the country.”Just another reason the state shouldn’t know what you have because registration ALWAYS leads to confiscation.How many 100% law abiding citizens just became instant criminals because 6 people said so?
