My uncle, now deceased, brought back several firearms after WW-II. He was not a shooter, and they lived in a corner of his closet for 50-60 years. On his death, my aunt had them sold off. I am thinking that, prior to being sold in the early 2000s, these guns were not on any list any where.
If the UVU shooter's rifle was a similar "bring back" and not a gun imported well after the war, it is quite possible that it was not on anyone's current registry and so would be nearly untraceable. This is speculation as the details of the rifle used are still vague and shifting in the press.
