The Department of Agriculture is demanding states hand over personal data of food assistance recipients — including Social Security numbers, addresses and, in at least one state, citizenship status, according to emails shared with NPR by an official who was not allowed to speak publicly.

      Several states require firearm registration, as does the fed for certain types of firearms.

        That’s an interesting way of spelling, “no.”

        Most states do not require firearms registration. There’s a handful that explicitly prohibit it. As far as states that have a general firearms registration is concerned, it’s limited to Hawaii and DC, so sure… you’ll get some people on a list there.

        CA, CT, NY - there’s only a registry for certain types, not all.

        There’s also no federal firearms registry whatsoever.

          But the answer isn’t “no”. There are lists. That’s what the registry is. It’s a literal list of people who own firearms.
