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!

First, understand that ALL COMMERCIAL SALES REQUIRE A BACKGROUND CHECK!

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)
However... we have a recent issue with ‘Ghost Guns’ - there are to types of guns that are referenced with that term.

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-…
That is, to say, that the Feds made concerted efforts to ID/track/prosecute the operations illegally manufacturing & selling.

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#?!
The article doesn’t say that 3 of 5 are *without* serial numbers; it says they cannot track.

This is a different type of ‘ghost gun’... that no one wants to talk about.

But we will!
Over 2k Firearms from @wesleyfelixpsi’s family gun store in Las Vegas, NV were PLUNDERED... by what he claims were federal agents.

They are gone - they have serial #’s, but won’t connect to a ‘purchase’.

That’s not to say that there isn’t a paper trail *at all* - those 2k firearms that are missing will have paperwork showing they were sent to the National Survival store...

But there won’t be paperwork after that; fed agents won’t be able to trace them to a sale to an individual.
Here is an actual copy of transactions made in their gun store...

The ATF won’t be able to track these to a point of sale; Wesley’s Uncle was locked up during these transactions!

They are now ‘ghost guns’ - they have Serial Numbers, but may as well be without.
There are many other store owners with similar stories as Wesley; many of their stories involve the same Federal Agents, and/or same ‘informants’.

If the FBI & ATF really want leads on those guns... JUST PUBLISH THE SERIAL NUMBERS AND LET PPL LIKE WES TAKE A LOOK!
The scale of these issues is enormous - please check this out for further info.
