A stupid question, I know. Bear with me.
In the PRK we have a form with every gun sale called a "dealer's record of sale" (DROS). That means that someone in the government has a piece of paper with my name and a gun serial number on it, which surely must be de facto registration. However, according to the state, one must only "register" handguns here; not long guns. What does that mean, exactly? If all Hell breaks loose and everyone in PRK is suddenly required to "register" their long guns, does the state already know what guns you have from your DROS forms?
I also have a C&R. If I buy a rifle from a dealer in a free state, he will log that sale into his bound book, and I will log the receipt into mine. What other record exists that shows I own that rifle? Can the state of PRK find out? Can the California DOJ force me to show them my bound book?
