I have a gun in my house; I haven’t registered it because I have no clue how. I also don’t let children come over to my house because there’s an unsecured gun. If I can ever afford a proper lock for it, I’ll consider letting my nephews visit.
Of course, like a stereotypical Texan, I only have a gun because it was my grandfather’s shotgun.
Not really for guns that are passed down through families. There are some cases where you do need to register it, like if it is a full-auto antique that wasn’t previously registered.
I have gone through federal background checks for all of my firearms except one. In that case, it was registered at purchase by the original owner and transferred to me in a state that allowed it. It can still be easily traced back to me, so whatever.
Yes, until the revolution is complete and your usefulness to the commissar has ended, after which you’re handed a pickaxe and told to go into the mines.
So more kids are shot where there are more lax gun laws; who could have ever foreseen that?
but hey, they are .000001% better protected you despite the elevated risk of child death in multiple contexts (school and home)

You could just Google how to register your gun in your state.
He doesn’t have Internet access.
Library? Asking around?
I probably wouldn’t try to register a firearm at a library.
You don’t register guns in most states. Some even have laws banning gun registries. We don’t have a federal gun registry either.
If he still lives in Texas, he definitely has no registration requirements.
Sheesh. Not even a gun registry? Wow. :(

If you’re still in Texas you don’t have to register it.
Put it on the top shelf of your closet and don’t let your nephews go in your room. And/or, keep it unloaded.
Sounds like you have a few good reasons to get rid of it.
If it’s a pump action then a normal cable style lock would work, which you can get for free through Project Child Safe.
If you go left enough you get to keep your guns
