With a very few exceptions, such as machine guns and short barreled shotguns, there IS no national registration of firearms in the US. Various states have registration requirements- most do not. Dealers are required to maintain records of sales, but there is no registration per se of firearms. Common misconception.

When did gun registry become mandatory in us?

In the United States, there is no federal law requiring a national gun registry. However, some states have implemented their own gun registration laws at various times.

Consequently, the specifics of gun registration depend on individual state laws rather than a federal mandate.
