This is precisely what I am talking about; federal investigators can only track 👉🏻2 of 5 👈🏻 firearms by their serial number?!?
There is a term for this - they are called ‘ghost guns’!
Quick Thread!

That is not necessarily true for Private-to-Private sales, but every SN# on every gun in the US *should* eventually track to *somebody*.
Once you get to that *somebody*... you can chase leads (connect dots)
1. There is no serial number
2. There is, but they cannot connect it to a transaction in their system
... been TONS of attention to #1 thetrace.org/2019/05/ghost-…
There have been operations that go out of their way to skirt the laws - they have been putting pressure on it.
But what about the guns that have SN#?!
This is a different type of ‘ghost gun’... that no one wants to talk about.
But we will!
They are gone - they have serial #’s, but won’t connect to a ‘purchase’.
But there won’t be paperwork after that; fed agents won’t be able to trace them to a sale to an individual.
If the FBI & ATF really want leads on those guns... JUST PUBLISH THE SERIAL NUMBERS AND LET PPL LIKE WES TAKE A LOOK!
