Question: Is there a database of gun serial numbers?

There is no national database of guns. We have no centralized record of who owns all the firearms we so vigorously debate, no hard data regarding how many people own them, how many of them are bought or sold, or how many even exist.

Can a gun serial number be traced?

Does the government keep track of gun serial numbers?

The ATF, using the make, model and serial number of the weapon, tracks down the original manufacturer. From there, they identify the federally licensed gun shop where the firearm was originally sent for retail sale. If a gun shop goes out of business, the owner is required to send all of its 44-73 forms to the ATF.
