How is this a problem? Until the GCA of 1968 serial numbers weren't mandatory and many makers didn't mark them. Nor was there a database of any sort to match them against.

I also don't know of any problem regarding guns which could be cured merely by adding a serial number. Other than law enforcement wanting more control over the things I possess that is. Which has now led directly to gun registries, ghost guns, 3D printed guns, AW bans, ammo bans, and all the rest.

Yet not one of those things has reduced gun crimes. Not a single one, or even all of them added together. Moreover, making someone add a serial number to a gun they built, and which was subsequently "stolen," changes nothing because there's no record of it anywhere.

I have a .22 that was probably sold out of a Western Auto in the 50’s. Only a foundry mark, no serial number.

Any serious gun collector will likely have more than one gun in his collection which wasn't stamped with a serial number.

Trivia; in Montana (and likely other places too) there's a premium for rifles which haven't ever been "registered" or "reported" to the government. These rifles NEVER see the inside of a gun shop and aren't ever advertised for sale through an FFL.

To who??????

Irene Triplett, a 90-year-old North Carolina woman, was the last person to receive a Civil War pension, thanks to her father’s service in the Union Army. Mose Triplett was originally a Confederate soldier who deserted in 1863 and later joined a Union regiment, a move that kept him out of the fight at Gettysburg, where 90% of his former infantry was killed. Switching sides also guaranteed Mose a pension for the remainder of his life, which would later play a role in him remarrying after the death of his first wife. At age 78, Mose married the 27-year-old Elida Hall — a move historians say was common during the Great Depression, when aging veterans needing care could provide financial security to younger women. The couple had two children, including Irene, who was diagnosed with cognitive impairments that allowed her to qualify for her father’s pension after both parents’ deaths. By the time of Irene’s own passing in 2020, the U.S. government had held up its duty, paying out Mose Triplett’s pension for more than 100 years.

OK, cleared that up and it actually made sense.

I have more than a few of those.

Trump has issued an EO shutting down all "Operation Choke Point" initiatives. What it does is effectively cause those entities that engage in de-banking activities to fall under DOJ investigation. "Reputational Risk" is over as a regulatory process.

May we presume that v2.0 was as disingenuous as its predecessor???

Concerning?

[Wat_Tyler]

Yep. Disingenuous indeed. How O'Bama of it.

 

[Rebel5soul]

Just one more example of how petty, faceless, bureaucrats fuck over businesses and individuals. You see it all the time in your line of work.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Oddly, Wat gets along with some of those senseless fucks.


Just this week, Wat had seven inspections and passed all seven of them first time through.


Wat also knows what will happen when SHTF . . . .
