Exactly.
Now we're back to basic police/detective work.

Actually, it's even easier than that since in most states a buyer has to pass a NICS call-in to get permission from the government to take possession of a firearm from a FFL holder. They are supposed to destroy such records, but I hope no one really believes that whopper.
I never assume that any records are destroyed.

I guess it's just me, but I just can't see how asking for permission from the government to buy a gun doesn't trample the Second Amendment deep into the ground. The govenment can basically shut down sales of firearms by simply not answering the NICS phones. So how is that NOT an infringement of our rights?
You may have a point.....
