Nevada....This is for State residents AND out-of State VISITORS! Each felon has 72 hrs to register with the local police dept. Your address is needed. Should you change addresses either as an in state resident or out of state visitor(without proper police notification), you may be charged with:"Ex-Felon, Failure To Change Address". This is a misdemeanor offense. ( this information is based on personal experience from a native Nevadan and also by researching the most current NRS < Nevada revised statues> as of October 2010 ).
Six states and the District of Columbia require registration of some or all firearms. Hawaii and the District of Columbia require the registration of all firearms, and New York requires the registration of all handguns through its licensing law. Hawaii, New York and four other states also have a registration system for certain highly dangerous firearms, such as assault weapons. These states generally ban such firearms, but allow the continued possession of grandfathered weapons if they were owned before the ban was adopted and are registered.
No. Most states in the U.S. do not require it.
The basic answer is no, but there are two parts to the answer. First, only a few states require gun registration on regular handguns and long guns. There is no national registration. Second, in the few states that do require registration, the information is not generally availble to the public.
registration and background checks when purchasing a gun It doesn't require "registration" but it does require a 4473 form to be completed and a background check to be performed when purchasing a gun from a gun store. In many states, it's perfectly legal to sell a gun between individuals with no paperwork.
Basically, no. There are several parts to the answer: if you are in the U.S. most states don't require registration, and there is no federal registration. If you do live in one of the few states that do require registration, the information is not normally available to the general public.
It depends on where you are. In the U.S. at least, there is no national registration of normal firearms, and most states do not require it.

You can't. The state of Texas does not require registration, therefore, there is no gun registration that can be changed.
Pennsylvania doesn't require gun require registration, and even in states that do, the average person can't access the information.
The answer is, you probably can't. In the United States, most states don't require registration, so it's likely that it isn't registered. In the states that DO require registration, the average person can't get the information.
That would depend on where you purchased the gun and what the local laws are. If you purchased a gun from a private seller it would be your responsibility to register it. If you purchase from a gun store, they probably register it during the sale. However, only a few states require registration. So the answer is, you probably don't have to register the gun, regardless of where you bought it, unless you live in California, Massachusetts, or one of the other states that require it (there are only about 5 or 6 states that require registration).
Texas does not require gun registration.
In the US, when you buy a gun from a dealer, you complete a Form 4473, which the dealer keeps. A few states require registration of a gun- most do not.
