Interesting, Registration schemes are ILLEGAL according to this law! The wording would make it apply to STATES, not just the Fed.

......"No such rule or regulation prescribed after the date of the
enactment of the Firearms Owners' Protection Act may require that
records required to be maintained under this chapter or any portion
of the contents of such records, be recorded at or transferred to a
facility owned, managed, or controlled by the United States or any
State or any political subdivision thereof, nor that any system of
registration of firearms, firearms owners, or firearms transactions
or dispositions be established. Nothing in this section expands or
restricts the Secretary's authority to inquire into the disposition
of any firearm in the course of a criminal investigation."........
