OK... let's start here.... Guns are NOT "registered" when someone does a
4473 form and buys it. The 4473 form stays with the FFL or dealer who sold it when one's done. It goes no where, except into his file. If something illegal ever occurred with the gun, the Mfgr would tell them what dealer had it, the dealer pulls his info on who he sold it to, etc. on down the line

Also a good point. I didn't mention the 4473 in my post #7 because the OP mentioned being in Missouri. It has been a common misconception in Missouri that the permit to acquire was a registration, and most often when someone mentions the "R" word about handguns, that is what they are referring to. Even now, several years after the law has been repealed, the idea remains in many people's minds that the registration process is too much bother to buy a handgun. that was the purpose of the abuse of the law. To intimidate, and inconvenience the public so they wouldn't buy handguns!
