Firearms are not licensed (yet), although some classes of firearms dealers must acquire a license. To date, we still (fortunately) do not have an official firearms registry, although the requirement of dealers to indefinitely maintain the Form 4473 filled out at the time of purchase constitutes a de-facto registry.
Good point. I suppose I should have said "licensing to bear firearms", rather than "licensing for firearms", the latter suggesting that it is the firearm rather than the person to which the license pertains.
