My initial comment was based on a 2022 law that required persons inheriting guns upon the death of their parent to immediately register the guns in their own names. But that was for a state that required gun registration anyway.
But it does seem a bit scarey that guns don't need registering and children can potentially play with them. Parents need to be thorough in their discussions with the kids, but maybe the kids friends will borrow just to play.
We had capguns as children, and playing cops and robbers was fun.
Don't confuse registration with gun safety. They're totally different subjects.
Yep, I had cap guns as a kid but my parents wouldn't allow me to buy caps to shoot in them... but occasionally I would sneak and buy some anyway. We usually played "cowboys and Indians". We took turns being the cowboys.
And all that exposure to toy guns as a kid didn't result in me being a criminal.

How would registering a firearm prevent children from playing with them? There is a disconnect there...
They need to be registered immediately in the names of the new owners or laws will be broken.
You need to do a bit more research before assuming that is true, and openly commenting like it is a fact as stated.
I gifted my wife a Taurus TX22 Competition SCR model I recently purchased for myself, this year as she has discovered she likes steel shooting competitive matches quite a bit. This pistol was designed around that sport. There is a local all women group that does this here.
I also included a signed document transferring the gun to her for the sum of $100 (a value in "services rendered", ahem..), which includes the serial number. Why? Since I filled out ATF form 4473 to purchase it for myself, there is now a record already of that firearm being purchased by me by the ATF. The informal sales form I created is simply in case I pass before my wife, and my wife happens to ever encounter any kind of legal nonsense regarding the transfer of the sporting pistol from myself to her.

Firearms are being handled on US State level. What happens in MD stays in MD:>) OP seems to be in AZ and made three young men very happy. Those gifts are not likely to get regifted.
There are only seven states that require registration of firearms.
Just another reason to live only in free (and not commie) states.
