Time to go shopping! Annual Guns for Groceries day

[tussery]

Wait a second here...they were running numbers to see is they were used in a crime? Not much can be gotten from serial numbers unless the guns were used in a crime, recovered by police, logged into a database, released back onto the streets and THEN turned in. I could shoot some stranger in the face and drop the gun off at the PD and they wouldn't link the two without someone blowing several hours to test and compare. I'd be surprised if they sent all of these to a crime lab, and if they did, I sure hope they figured that cost into the budget. This program would get expensive FAST!

Umm. A stolen gun that had it's serial number reported to the PD was involved in a crime...
