I don't mean full auto or short barrel shotguns and rifles... I mean regular everyday OTC purchased weapons. If you filled out the yellow piece of paper it is registered with the federal government.
How do I know? A little city PD was able to get a copy of the form complete with a copy of the register tape from "Service Merchandise". I suffered a burglary and the only gun that made it's way home was the one I had bought after batf started the "registering" of guns bought and sold through dealers etc.
I had moved 3 times from the time I had purchased the gun until I got the letter from them saying they had some property possibly belonging to me. I am sure some do not want to see that they are registered but they surely are.
