For all your "registration" needs use the social security number 567-68-0515. It belongs to Richard M. Nixon.

" ... as a service..."

Yeah  right.  " I'm from the government and I'm here to help"   Thanks, but do something the police ought to be doing, like catching criminals.

Okay, it's a hoot, but don't you find it interesting that they want your race?  What possible bearing could that have on a simple "we'll keep track of your guns for you" service?

Wonder how they explain that request?  Of course, the dolts who'd register their guns here are too stupid to ask, I suppose.

Hello....

  As funny as it would be to register more items than they have at most armories, it probably would not be a good idea...

In my spare time away from shooting ( i wish it was like that ) I get to be a computer geek for a local ISP....  I am not looking to insult anyone's intelligence or anything like that but just about every page on the net logs IP access to their page, and if something were posted that they wanted to find some legal offense to they could supena your ISP for your name and address.....  just an FYI

Your gun registration information has been sent. Thank you for helping to make Arlington County a safer place.

That's what it said after someone (hmmm) registered a Thompson 1928A SMG for Edward A. Flynn and his home address.  He is Arlington's very rabid anti-gun (even more so than the politicians here in SC!) police chief.  BTW, he first became infamouse when he had his bully-squads breakdown doors in Massachusetts to confiscate legal firearms.
