    Why do so many people think firearms are registered?

    WTF. I just had a fellow Marine I work with swear up and down that every gun gets registered with the feds. Where does this come from?

    They don't, they are just repeating the lie often enough and loud enough to make people think that is the case.

    This. Years ago my ex wife bought me a 9mm Walther P99 & HK USP 9 for my birthday. We were living in Texas at the time. She was going to call the police and "register" the pistols, since she had seen this on a CSI type show.

    The law in MA is that you have to register all firearms with the state.

    They have an FA-10 form that you can pick up from any police station and once filled out it gets mailed in.

    What on earth does "this" mean? Keep seeing it here recently.

    Assuming it means you agree, but even so...
