1. Is there away to findout what guns are registered in my proper name?

2. What exercise you mean by "registered"? The Us doesn't have firearms registration at the national level. Any "registration" would accept to be at the country or local level. Equally far every bit finding out what guns are "registered" to you lot in a given jurisdiction would involve contacting whatever bureau handles such registrations in your surface area and asking them. That would at the very to the lowest degree be a starting point. There is no universal database where you tin actively search all jurisdictions at one time to see what, if whatsoever, firearms are "registered" to you....nor would most firearm owners be happy near such a database

3. My state (NY) has registration of handguns. That said, I can't imagine (A) not knowing what handguns I own or (B) someone else registering a handgun in my proper noun.

   Not sure what problem you're trying to solve.

4. Wiki says:So I'd imagine you could attempt contacting the CA DOJ and request if they'll give you a list of what'due south registered to you.

   Otherwise, unless you lot've had the misfortune of living in one of the few other states which registers guns, OR if you ain NFA weapons registered with the BATFE, there isn't any registry of what y'all own.

5. How are firearms traced back to the owner when used in a crime? I assume information technology is traced from the manufacture, to the gun shop, then to the original possessor...am I correct?

6. I wrote this a while dorsum:

7. Pretty much what I suspected, thanks.

8. When Arthur Bremer shot George Wallace in 1972, steps ane - 5 traced Bremer's gun to Bremer in very short guild.
   Lesson 1, if you lot are an assassinator, do not buy a gun in your own proper noun.
   Lesson 2, if yous sell a gun, get a nib of auction in case the purchaser is a cheat.

9. That's one of the reasons I similar C&R'south and why I accept a FFL03. If the buyer or seller will non requite me the information I need for my jump book (and let me copy it down) then there is no deal.

10. Years agone in Michigan

    I got a call from a Sheriffs deputy I knew. He wanted to know if I yet had my $23.00 Herter's single 6 revolver in my possession. I asked why. He said a gas station in town that but had girls working in that location pumping gas had been robbed. The robber was carrying a 22 revolver and had shot the gal in the leg with it.

    Told the deputy I would take to become await as I had non had it out of the gun cabinet in a twelvemonth or more. It was still there so I was in the articulate.

    I estimate Michigan does keep track of who got a let to buy a pistol. My Herter's is registered equally a Herter'south Wasica. Wasica is the town where Herter's was before the tornado put them out of concern non the name of the gun. I did not notice it when the gal at the sheriff'due south department gave me my permit.

    As far as how many guns I have that are in the organisation it is few every bit nearly were private sales.

11. Let me become this straight... someone shot someone with a .22 revolver and they started calling local guys on record equally having owned 1?

    (Hey, a guy was hit with a car. Let's call all the people we know with cars. That should narrow it the <flip> downward!)

    I think that pretty much sums up why these systems don't make any sense at all.

12. Fella'south;

    Information technology'due south true that there is no national registration of firearms - yet. But, if or when that legislation is passed, the 4473 form that'due south filled out with every FFL buy these days will exist the starting point for amassing the registration data. The established fact that firearms tin can be traced via the 4473 starting betoken is proof of that. True, there are holes in the 4473 arrangement that you could fly congress through at this time. But, closing those holes is only a matter of passing legislation to do then.

    Perhaps the single near effective point available to united states of america to foreclose such legislation is the case of the tardily and unlamented Canadian firearms registration scheme. The compliance cistron was, of course, unknown but best guess is maybe 30 to (highly unlikely) l%. The budgetary cost over-runs are a matter of public record and were huge, several hundreds of percentage above projections. I don't have the figures at paw, but they're easily found. Therefore, in these times of sparse Federal availability of funds, to advise a massively expensive national firearms registration deed should be political suicide. But, if national media supports it without accurately presenting both sides, or giving both sides equal time, you can bet your last .22 round that there's a good chance it'll be put before our elected representatives with intent to laissez passer.

    I have no problem with breaking the 4473 chain whenever I can do and so. If you won't sell to me privately considering I won't provide yous with a driver's license number, so what? The next guy will get my money and we'll both be happy and supporting the idea of the 2d subpoena to the Constitution of the The states as written IMHO. Remember, the second doesn't allow restriction of firearms ownership under any circumstances, every bit written. And information technology finer says that that wide open right shall non be fooled with either. Or, Wyatt Earp in Dodge City Kansas was a Federal felon.

13. Your interpretation of the 2nd amendment doesn't seem to hold with the courtroom'due south interpretation. Kind of like claiming that to you "red" is really "blueish" no thing what anyone else says.

14. Now that you mention that, how is information technology that the Left Liberal Socialists politicians and the Left Liberal Leaning Media started getting Republican voting states and areas shown in red, the color of the USSR flag, Chairman Mao's book, and the color used to announce enemy forces in military maneuvers?

15. In my state, CA, registering the gun is office of the purchase steps ane must go through. I asked the question because I wanted to know if I can confirm for myself what is out in that location in the records confronting what I really own.

17. Lesson 2, Nib of Sale: this can also open you lot upwardly to problems.

18. If y'all exercise go that data, there are a couple of possible outcomes:

    1. Their records match up with what you actually ain. Swell.
    ii. They show you owning guns that yous no longer own. At present you take some explaining to practice equally to who you sold them to and why you didn't go through the "proper channels" when you sold them.
    three. Y'all ain more guns than they evidence are registered. Now you lot take even more explaining to do in terms of buying an unregistered firearm.

    Makes me glad I live in Utah.

    I've never understood the beak-of-sale thing in terms of proving that you no longer owned a gun in relation to a constabulary investigation. I've discussed it with several Detectives and one really good firearms Lawyer (all in Utah, other states may be different) and if it the concatenation-of-ownership leads to a non-restricted person who no longer owns the gun, there isn't a whole lot that they can practice. It isn't up to the "no-longer-owner" to prove that he didn't commit the offense. The burden is on the state to prove that the "no-longer-owner" has committed the crime. On the other paw, if the person had a tape of having sold the gun to a restricted person, information technology volition open a serious can of worms.

19. Exactly - I exercise not do BOS on FTF private party deals. Cash talks, gun walks

20. Fella's;

    And here's proof positive every bit to why our educator's separate reading skills and reading comprehension every bit two different categories. "remember the second doesn't allow restriction of firearms ownership nether whatever circumstances, as written." Emphasis now added by me at this time.

    Information technology is quite truthful that several successive judgments rendered since the passing of the Nib Of Rights have absolutely changed the rights granted by the 2nd amendment. Simply those decisions practice not alter the original intent, just the current application. 1 of those judicial decisions now prompting the O.P. to have to ask a question that would not be necessary if the courts had not interfered with what the framer's of the 2d desired. Delight read George Mason and research the Federalist Papers if you doubt me.

21. Yup the same mode it was done with Lee Harvey Oswald's rifle, using normal, pre-computer business concern records: manufacturer/importer to seller to heir-apparent, before the GCA added an extra layer of paperwork to harass gun buyers.

22. CA must exist dissimilar from NY in that regard. Handgun owners in NY take paperwork in their possession that lists all handguns currently registered to them. Y'all have to bear it, along with your permit, when you're conveying a handgun. I'm supposed to contact the sheriff's office when I sell a handgun, in order to get information technology "off my permit." I ever do that ASAP, for obvious reasons.

    No one could annals a gun in my name unless they got a concord of my permit and could alter the picture to resemble themselves before they get in to register the gun.

23. Indiana don't have no steenking registration!

24. > (Hey, a guy was hit with a car. Let's call all the people we know
    > with cars. That should narrow it the <flip> downward!)

    You think?

    I evening a deputy sheriff came and arrested my female parent for a hit-and-run vehicle collision.

    A witness had reported a white Ford van with a license plate that started with the letter "B". My mother's white Ford Mustang was evidently a close enough match to make an arrest.

    My Dad had to rent a lawyer and make bond. Birthdays and Christmas were thin that twelvemonth, and there was no family vacation the next year.

    Lawyers and bondsmen cost money, and information technology had to come from somewhere.

25. AG has a course for that:
    Automated Firearms Organisation (AFS) Request for Firearm Records (BOF 053)

    AFS is reputed to be incomplete and at times inaccurate. No long guns purchased earlier January 1 2014 will appear in what is returned, unless you voluntarily registered them; DROS did not collect that info until this yr.
