    That’s not true at all. Every gun has a serial number and when you transfer ownership you need to transfer the serial number to your name. Just like a title on a car.

      That’s not true at all. Under federal law, you can build your own firearm, and you don’t ever need to serialize it. If you transfer it, you just hand it off.

      Individual states may implement additional restrictions.

      Thats often taught to buyers/sellers so they can kinda have a paper trail if confronted about a crime with a serial last linked to them.
