Didn't the State of New York have handgun registration after the Sullivan Act 
passed, or was that just a state-based permit to carry system?? Until the 
modern era (post 1968), I think this was the only example of firearm 
registration by any government in the United States.

Thanks Doc:
There were similar events in many states just before and during the early
stages of WWI and WWII.  Self-armed groups undertook patrol duties in many
areas in both wars.  As for the registration claim by another poster, I've
never seen any evidence of such anywhere in the U.S.
