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.
Scott Hattrup 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. ________________________________________________________________________ More new features than ever.
