Every gun that entered the market after 1968 is in some FFL's bound book somewhere. Tracking is possible

WRONG. Tracking is possible on some guns, some times. Not every gun is possible to be tracked.

Wrong? How am I wrong if you yourself admit that some guns can be tracked?

I never said every gun could be tracked. I said that every gun that entered the market after 1968 is traceable at least as far as its first sale. The GCA required dealers to be licensed and keep records. The bound book is a legal document, and FFLs are responsible for the accuracy of its contents.

You do realize that there is no such thing as an "unlicensed dealer," don't you? Not after the GCA. Non-licensees can sell their own personal firearms in-state, but if they do it as a business they aren't "unlicensed dealers" -- they are gun traffickers, and the ATF treats them accordingly, if and when they catch them.

Yes, I am sure that the police of XYZ City in XYZ State will have access to your "bound book" and the information contained therein. Just how exactly are they going to accomplish that?

Yes, in fact they will. Through the ATF. It's part of their mission.

Every fact I have stated in this thread is verifiable. I would suggest that you pay closer attention to exactly what I'm saying before concluding that I'm "wrong." It would also help if you would educate yourself on what the laws and procedures actually are.
