The Firearms Owners' Protection Act specifically prohibits using information collected on firearms under the act in any registration system. The act states as follows:
No such rule or regulation prescribed after the date of the enactment of the Firearms Owners' Protection Act may require that records required to be maintained under this chapter or any portion of the contents of such records, be recorded at or transferred to a facility owned, managed, or controlled by the United States or any State or any political subdivision thereof, nor that any system of registration of firearms, firearms owners, or firearms transactions or dispositions be established (18 USC § 926(a)

Also, in some States, guns bought/sold privately at gun shows (by individuals, not registered Fireams dealers) are exempt from registration requirements.
