30-Day Grace Period For
Registration Os Firearms
Atlanta-Anyone having an un
registered machine gun, sawed
off shotgun, short barreled rifle
or other gangster-type weapon,
or a device such as a bomb,
grenade or land mine, may reg
ister it with the Internal Rev
enue Service without penalty from
November 2 through December 1.
A. C. Ross, District Director
of Internal Revenue for Georgia,
explained that the Gun Control
Act of 1968, signed into law
last week, establishes a 30-day
period for the registration of
certain weapons and destructive
devices. The Gun Control Act
Law further provides that infor
mation or evidence submitted in
registering a weapon during this
period cannot be used against
the registrant in any criminal
proceeding arising out of a prior
or concurrent violation of the
law. However, this would not
prevent prosecution for furnish
ing false information.
Firearms and devices covered
by the registration requirements
must be registered by filing Form
4467, in duplicate, with Director,
Alcohol and Tobacco Tax Div
ision, Internal Revenue Service,
Washington, D. C. 20224.
Anyone with a weapon to regis
ter should write or phone an
office of the IRS and obtain a
copy of Form 4467. Weapons
and devices should not be brought
to IRS offices for the purpose of
registration.
Former servicemen should
register any automatic weapon,
pistols with shoulder stocks, or
other National Firearms Act
weapon they might have as a
Hospital

souvenir of their military days.
Anyone with a bomb or gre
nade should make sure it is
deactivated. The IRS can make
arrangements to have the device
inspected and deactivated.
The registration requirement
for gangster-type weapons dates
back to the National Firearms
Act of 1934. There is no Fed
eral registration requirement for
ordinary rifles, shotguns, pistols
and revolvers, although certain
controls on the sales of these
weapons become effective Dec
ember 16, 1968, as part of the
new gun law.
Firearms which must be regis
tered under the Act include shot
guns with barrels less than 18
inches long, rifles with barrels
less than 16 inches long and
altered rifles and shotguns with
an overall length of less than
26 inches, such as shotguns or
rifles cut down to pistol size
or shape.
Other firearms covered by the
registration requirements: Fully
automatic guns, such as machine
guns and pistols that fire more
than one shot by a single function
of the trigger, and firearm muf
flers or silencers. In addition,
registration is required of all
weapons or devices, except for
conventional pistols or revol
vers, which are capable of firing
a shot and being concealed on a
person and weapons formerly
classified as "Dewats” —deact
ivated war trophies.
Destructive devices, such as
explosives, incendiary or poison
gas bombs, grenades, rockets,
missiles, mines and certain pro -
jectile firing weapons, namely
anti-tank guns, bazookas and
mortars, also must be regis
tered.
Mr. Ross concluded by stating
that anyone who possesses a fire
arm or destructive device, as
defined by National Firearms
Act, and who fails to register
the weapon between November 2
and December 1 as required
by the Gun Control Act, will
be subject to imprisonment up
to 10 years, a fine up to SIO,OOO
or both for each weapon not
registered. Under certain con
ditions, the law provides civil
penalties and property forfeit
ures.
