The manufacturer will be contacted to learn the identity of the distributor who bought the gun. The distributor will then be contacted to see which FFL received the gun. The FFL will then be contacted to see who he sold it to. You will then be contacted by the authorities about your gun and you will tell them you sold it to someone, or that it was stolen or lost, etc. The trace is then over. (This presumes you don't live in a state that requires all transfers to go though an FFL, or that doesn't require state registration of guns.)TexasAggie wrote:So I assume then that when I go to DFW Gun Range (as an example) and purchase my new gun through them, then ALL gov't authorities will know any, and all, pertinent info and can find it and me, correct?
In other words, by buying it new, it's now "registered"??
