I do have a question about something I've seen in this thread about REGISTERED guns. I've been in CA for almost 30 years now and bought many guns and I've never had to register a single one. Perhaps I'm interpreting REGISTER in a different way than is meant in these posts. To my way of thinking I've seen other states where you have to fill out separate paperwork to register a gun to you that is different from the federal forms when you originally buy the gun.
