Governments register gun manufacturers to provide data on firearms, manufacturers, dealers, collectors, and importers. This data can be used for:
Crime investigation: The data can help identify and arrest suspects in firearm-related crimes.
Keeping firearms out of the hands of those who shouldn’t have them: The Gun Control Act of 1968 was enacted to keep firearms out of the hands of those who are not legally entitled to possess them.
In the United States, the National Firearms Act (NFA) of 1934 requires registration for certain firearms, including: machine guns, short-barreled shotguns or rifles, and silencers.
However, federal law prohibits a universal, national gun registry. Only Hawaii requires registration of all firearms, while only a few states require registration of certain firearms.
Governments register gun manufacturers to regulate firearm production, ensuring safety standards and preventing illegal arms trafficking. It helps track weapons, reducing crime and misuse. Registration also ensures manufacturers comply with laws, pay taxes, and operate transparently. In Nigeria, this control is vital for national security, curbing violence, and maintaining public order. It’s about accountability and protecting citizens.
