In 1838 Georgia banned all handguns. Supreme Court found the ban to be unconstitutional.

However, to further answer the question, contrary to popular belief, there is very limited registration in the U.S. A few individual states require it, but only a few. There is no federal registration of "normal" firearms, such as handguns and rifles. Some items, known and NFA or Class III items must be registered with the federal government, and a few states don't allow those items within the state. This includes items such as machine guns, silencers, short rifles, and short shotguns.

Is it legal to own a Gatling gun?

Depends on where you live, and how the Gatling Gun is operated. In MOST of the US, a hand cranked Gatling Gun is legal to own, if you can meet the legal requirements to own an ordinary gun. However, the last one I saw for sale was around $15,000.If the Gatling Gun is operated from a power source (think Jesse Ventura and the movie Predator), then it is regulated as a machinegun. That requires special registration and payment of fees.


How do you register gun bought in Oregon private party how do i register it in ca.?

To register a gun purchased in Oregon from a private party in California, you would need to first ensure that the firearm is legal to possess in California and meet the state's requirements for firearms registration. You would likely have to submit the necessary paperwork and fees to the California Department of Justice, specifically the Bureau of Firearms. It's important to consult with legal authorities or experts to ensure compliance with California's gun laws.


Is it illegal to have a gun in your house?

The 2nd amendment to the Constitution grants everyone the right to bear arms (have a gun) for their personal protection, as well as the protection of your family, and your property. You do not need a gun permit to have a gun in your own house. Your gun does not have to be registered with the government either. Actually, registration depends on where you are. There is no national registration, but a few individual states require it. CA, MA, IL, and IIRC, NY and NJ, and possibly a few others.


How do you change title ownership of a gun in Kentucky?

Like most states, Kentucky does NOT have a registration process for ordinary firearms (rifles, shotguns, handguns). You may transfer ownership of a firearm ONLY to a person who is also a resident of Kentucky. You may not transfer a firearm to a person you have reason to believe is not allowed to own a gun- such as a minor, a convicted felon, person under a restraining order, etc. A simple way is to write up a bill of sale- Describe the firearm- make, model, serial number, who is selling it (name and address) and who is buying it (name and address). Make 2 copies, seller keeps one, buyer keeps one.
