The timeline of gun laws in America. I guess we won't get anything sane until another President gets shot/killed. ?

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.Osawld also bought the pistol he used to kill the police officer via mail order. You still can have a firearm delivered in the mail. UPS will do it, but it has to go to a FFL dealer. Also 1968 was the year that serial numbers were required.
As far as tracking firearms, I bought a pistol a few weeks ago. It has not only a serial number, but behind the trigger guard has an electronic serial number! You know the goofy square that you take a pic of and directs you to a website? I don't know what they are called, but I'm sure you know what I am talking about.

The NRA we have now is NOTHING like the one we had in 1968.
