Most states don’t require long guns to be registered and very few require handguns to be registered. Almost all do NOT require a permit to purchase a gun. What are the laws of this particular state? Did she buy from some private person? Did she buy in another state and then move? This article is lacking a ton of information and seems to me to be written merely to stir up sh**.
“Most states don’t require long guns to be registered and very few require handguns to be registered.”
Registration required or not, that info is not something that is public info. THERE IS NO CENTRAL REGISTRATION OF FIREARMS (sorry for yelling) The only registration is with the dealer that sold the guns
