Generally speaking, no. A few states, 5 or 6, require gun registration, but in most of the U.S. there is no registration. The 4473 form you fill out stays at the gun shop for 20 years, then after that, the gun shop can shred and dispose of the forms, but that isn't the same thing as having to register the gun.

How can you find the serial number to a gun that you bought new and got stolen from you?
You canj go back and talk with the dealer you bought the gun from- if they are still in business They WILL need to know when you bought the gun. Dealers maintain records of sales for 20 years per Federal law. Next time, have an inventory with serial numbers and pictures.Added: If you bought it from a private party, hopefully you will have a bill-of-sale from them for the weapon, or you may know them. Contact them to see if they may have kept a record of it, or ask if they can put you in contact with the dealer they bought it from. If you/they don't have these records - you are pretty much SOL.
Where is the best place to buy guns?
The internet. <><><> However, you will still (in most cases) need to have the gun shipped to a local dealer, and you take delivery from that dealer. Besides the internet (and I have bought several there) you can also check with local dealers, or visit a gun show.
Can you find out when background checks were done when you bought a gun?
Any time you purchase a firearm from a dealer, Federal law requires that the dealer must run a background check at that time. The exception is that certain states issue a concealed weapons license that ALSO requires a background check- proof of licensing takes the place of a background check. So if you bought a gun from a dealer, you have had a background check made.
How do you find guns that are registerd to you?
