7. Registration is being miss used there.
Mon May 1, 2023, 01:44 PM
May 2023

Every gun bought from a gun store is linked to the person that bought it, but that does not mean its registered. In Maryland only handguns and other regulated firearms are registered. But the people who bought rifles are still linked to the rifle thru the paper work required when its purchased at a store.

The way it works if a gun is found the atf knows which gun store it was sold to, they then call the gun store who looks up who they sold it to. Then we wont even get in to the fairly tail idea that the ATF has a list of every gun owner. But it does seem pretty likely with how fast they know when shooters do something wrong and they announce when the person bought the gun with in a few hours.
