What's a registered gun?

An Official Journal Of The NRA | This Old Gun: Smith & Wesson Registered Magnum

Smith & Wesson's Registered Magnum was purpose-built to chamber the hot, new cartridge of the day: the .357 Magnum.

No, no, no...don't you see? "Play nice", act "reasonable" and these folks will switch sides. Happens all the time.

Not likely says I. My experience with anti-firearm folks is that once 'paranoia' about guns sets in, they will never change their stance.

I get that it was a joke, a really tired old joke that most us have made and it also needs to go die in a corner. I was raised to say nothing about having guns at our house. It was nobody’s business. It’s still a good rule. Your neighbors, friends, and co-workers don’t really need to know about the guns you keep.

I learned that lesson as a kid. I let my friend come over to my house and shoot my BB gun in my backyard, when we were done I put it back in the garage. Later that afternoon, he came back over and we talked on the front porch. It was a distraction so that his cousin could sneak into the garage and steal the BB gun.

Anyone who is shocked that such a joke would end up the way that it did needs a sign with Snowflake written on it.

What's a registered gun?

One that has been registered by a requirement of law. Aren't guns registered when one picks them up at an FFL?

No, they are not technically registered in Oklahoma. The dealer keeps a copy of a form with the serial number on it, but is not entered in any central databasee.

Don't you remember the local sheriff's office wanted a record of your guns and serial numbers just in case you were burglarized or a tornadie hit yas?

Not until the FFL closes shop, then the ATF gets the records.

Yeah, see I knew that explanation would go into this.

Technically and officially, buying a gun from a dealer does not make it "registered". That's as far as I'm going.

 

[GunSlingingPlatypus]

See, my question was rhetorical because if you don't buy from an FFL it's not registered with the ATF as in your possession.

Red flag in action.

Though not likely, some anti-gun attitude can / does change. Majority are based in ignorance.

The difference in attitude between the 2 Cops could have made the end results very different. Difficult and changing times, we must remain diligent in presenting a good light and steadfast in determination to not give an inch.
