Serial number is a business regulation, not an individual. It's intended use is recognition by a manufacturer..... a milk carton is also marked.

Then why put the serial number on the form when you purchase one?

I am fully against a searchable database, but dont be so stupid as to think all guns arent registered already. The only way it isnt registered in your name is if you purchased it on the secondary market with no paperwork. Right now, the individual stores keep a record of every firearm purchased. Given the serial number and make, LE can back track it to the store it was purchased from, then on to who purchased it.

Ill video myself calibrating a metal detector to catch plastic. It sees density. Point is..... Technology to detect plastic exists. This is a registration move. I used to be a tech, worked on a lot of metal detectors.

Thats not possible with a metal detector. It is very possible and widely used with a hard object detector, or whatever it is called, similar to what they use at the airport. A metal detetor requires a magnetic field to work, plastic simply doesnt have one.
