This is, in one sense, true. Every receiver is "registered" when manufactured. It is registered as rifle/shotgun, handgun, or "other". Beyond that, there is no FEDERAL registration in the usual sense.
The Fed does NOT have a list of who owns them, they don't have a list of where and when shipped or sold by the factory. As noted, they can get that information, during an investigation, BUT they have to have a gun to trace, to begin with.
