Newbie here....please explain how the govt knows what NRs you own? I guess they would know what you bought at some point?

Ah ok thanks. My understanding was there is no NR registry like there is for R firearms.

There isnt an official one and older firearms cant be tracked very easily but new ones are recorded and any firearm that is bought , sold , given and I believe inherited requires the 2 license holders to acquire a transfer number which is possibly also recorded

Transfer number just permits you to transfer NRs, no information on what if any firearms are actually transferred
