But I thought there was no gun registry?

That's not how it works newracer. The manufacturer has a list of all serial numbers, and to what FFL those were sold, then the paper trail begins. Each FFL keeps their own record of the firearms they sell and to whom and when.... When LE took possession of his guns, they can trace them from the manufacturer through the chain to the FFL. There is not a "registry" in Colorado. It's a pointless waste of tax payer money.

Exactly my point, there is not supposed to be a gun registry but effectively there is.

It's not a registry because there are no names associated with the serial numbers. FFL's have to track serials and submit them to the feds.

If they didn't have the serial numbers of his guns they wouldn't have been able to track them.

The anti gunners are all over FB, Twitters etc. I didnt realize I have wasted 3 hours arguing few folks out there.

I got called racist despite that there is no mention of races in our disagreement.

Wow!! These guys are real quick in politicizing any tragedy.

I have been involved in numerous debates with emotionally fuelled anti's, DO NOT make statements. The only way to argue with those people is to question their behavior.

EX:

Why are you letting your emotions get in the way of your ability to reason?

How is calling me names accomplishing your goals?

What are you trying to accomplish by insulting fellow human beings?

Why are you incapable of separating racism and firearms in your head?


Effective questioning is the only way to debate with these people.

I feel you there bro.
If they really think about it calling a gun a murderer without knowing shit about it or even know that a gun is a hulk of metal. Is kinda racist. They just run across the street when they see one assume the worst about it because of what it is not because of its use. I guess they have become what they feel and care about the most.

I have seen the busy-body ban everything people come out of their scratch holes in full force today. Its pathetic.

The FFl has your name on that little 4473 form that you filled out when you bought the gun for the standard background check. Post facto registry.
