AND prior to the 1968 infringement, one could order a shotgun or small caliber rifle and have it sent to your front door via USPS. BUT, the sheriff’s dept did asseret that the serial number had been taken off.

Not exactly. They said, according to the article:

“The Orange County Sheriff’s Department told the Associated Press it is trying to identify the seller, but the gun’s serial number was unreadable, making it difficult to trace the firearm.”

“Unreadable” could mean a number of things. I have seen old firearms where you could not read the serial number, just because of wear. It is also possible that it is “unreadable” because it never was there in the first place. This is not a “high value” case. There is no point in determining where the gun came from. That is irrelevant, though it is pushed, by those who want to take away our guns, as important.

The only reason they consider it important is because it give them a semi-plausible reason to demand registration.
