Are Arkansas law enforcement agencies registering gun owners?Steve D. Jones, Fort Smith Gun Rights Examiner One of the NRA’s and other Second Amendment advocates’ chief worries is that the government will someday begin registering firearms owners. In Springdale, Arkansas, registration may already be taking place, albeit on a smaller scale. www.examiner.com/article/is-arkansas-law-enforcement-agencies-registering-gun-owners
If one agency has been caught doing it, you can bet your ass many more are already on-board... and more are on the way.

BEGIN! The weapon is manufactured by XYZ Corporation. The weapon is test fired into a soft box and the round in reclaimed. This slug is cleaned of debris and placed into a sample bag. The weapon Serial number, date of manufacture, and legal description is written on a tag, and a copy of Manufacturers Certificate or Origin are attached to the small sterile slug and sent to the Dept of Commerce who forwards it to the FBI records section. Ever wonder why they sent you an empty casing in the box? Then when the weapon is shipped to the Retailer/Jobber the ATF forms are mailed to ATF, Dept of Commerce, and the ATF. When you buy the weapon you fill out a form which is mailed to the ATF, and your state LEO. If it was a handgun it is attached to a copy of your local records check info before mailing. How much more "Registration" can they get from you?

Little known fact about the test fired round. By the time you get another 1000 rounds through it, that "pattern" will have changed and no longer match.
More pointless stupidity by bureaucrats.

If rubbing compound is used on the barrel to smooth off any rough surfaces on the rifling it will do the same thing. Take rubbing compound and put it on a bore patch and run it down the barrel once, or twice. It changes the rifling, so it will not match a round fired before the rubbing compound was used. If rubbing compound is used do it once, or twice at most it will not damage the rifling enough to damage accuracy. If the same thing is done to the ejector, then the markings on it will not match either. If it is done to the firing pin, it will also remove any micro stamping on it. This would be a good thing to do if you used the weapon and wanted to hide the fact it was that weapon that shot someone. You need to know what you are doing, so as not to damage the weapon, so be careful. Just a fact I picked up from someone I talked to years ago.

The average gun purchased by the average gun owner in America will never fire 1000 rounds. Most will never fire 100 rounds. Their only worry is that we will give, trade, or Sell our weapons amongst ourselves and when the time for collection is arrived they will not be where they think they are.

Always good to have a "spare" barrel, firing pin and extractor for all semi-auto weapons, as those are the installed items that will "mark" a bullet and its case.
Notice all those cones after a shooting... because most cases will have at the minimum, a sweet little partial thumb print on each case.
