Tracing is a ridiculously ineffective law enforcement. Despite a few hit TV shows, it’s never the case that a gun is found at the crime scene, and is traced back to the owner, thereby solving a crime.
Guns used in crimes are mostly stolen, And if the gun is dropped at the scene, usually the bad guy is also.
Guns are not traceable without registration. Traceable guns have one purpose only, confiscation
Seems without fail we hear “Check to see if it’s registered.” in these shows too.
Yes.
The only real purpose of traceability is to build a system for registration.
The only real purpose of registration is to enable confiscation, either piecemeal, as is being done in California now, or en mass, as was done by the NAZIs in occupied territories or the Russians as they gained power.
I’ve been wondering about this for a while. Isn’t mandatory universal background checks on all gun sales pretty much registration? Especially if you combine it with mandatory reporting of lost or stolen guns? Unless the serial number isn’t recorded on background checks on sales between private individuals?
