Best Answer

The same way you register a firearm made after 1940. In MOST of the US, there is no registration of firearms. Firearms made prior to 1899 are legally classed as antiques, and not as firearms. Not aware of anything special about 1940 in US gun laws- but you may be in Another Country. If so, check with law enforcement where you live.

Can a person be convicted of a firearm if it was made 70 years ago and is not working?

No one is convicted of a firearm- you are convicted of doing something with it that was illegal. Carrying concealed, brandishing, threatening, etc. In the US, firearms made after 1898 are considered firearms- guns made before then are antiques. My 1940 firearms still work quite well, and they are 70 years old. You need to talk with an attorney, and not WikiAnswers.

Disney released "Pinocchio" in 1940. Because animation takes a while to produce, it was probably made sometime in the 1930's. It couldn't have been made before then, because the actor who does the voice of Pinocchio (Dickie Jones) wasn't born until 1927.
