War era gun registration urged by investigator
An investigator urged owners to register war trophies and firearms brought back by servicemen. Any pistol capable of rapid fire, any pistol with a stock, shotguns or rifles under 22 caliber with long barrels must be registered. Weapons with silencers also require registration. Registration has no fee and unserviceable guns may be rendered inoperable at no cost, though owners risk a transfer tax if the gun remains in working order upon sale or giving away.
