It's too bad that such a system doesn't actually exist. Yes, ISP had a mandate to implement such a system, but it took liberties with the implementation, turning it into a registration mechanism, instead.

This sounds like a state registration scheme. What happens after you enter the serial # into the database. Does it get stored in the database? I say that because this means appr 99% of all firearm sales at a gun show will be ran through this database. FFL Dealers get most of their new firearms from distributors, not manufacturers.
