I'd just like to debunk this myth as long as I've got a gun post to do it on.

Guns aren't supposed to be registered by the government--though they probably are, this is an infringement of your rights.

The only kind of "registration" you ever need when purchasing guns in applicable states is if you want to purchase Class III weapons (automatic rifles, machine pistols, sub-14" barrelled rifles or shotguns, or projectile weapons which fire explosive charges, i.e. grenade launchers). In this case you have to apply for a Class III weapons permit to a local Sheriff. I'm sure everyone who gets one of these permits is tracked carefully (but illegally) by the government.

Any other weapon, be it AR-15, AK-47, or Barrett .50 Cal, requires no "registration" and the purchase requirements are that the buyer must be 18, have no past history of felonies, be mentally competent, and not be an illegal citizen. Don't believe these commonly propogated myths of registration and how "easy" background checks are or that they don't take place. Don't let your constitutional rights slip away.
