Funnily enough I’ve never been involved in a case where they’ve been imported in shipping containers.

I’m not pro or the registry reall as I don’t know enough of the details, but it certainly does have some positives which I’m not determined to remain ignorant to.

On the "Just because you haven’t heard about it doesn’t mean it’s not happening, or prolific." if Customs IS finding firearms but if they are only checking 7% of containers...

The thing is that straw byers were being caught before the registry anyway. Dealers are required to keep records however, being reported stolen and/or having it's numbers removed can break any solid connection to it's origional purchaser.
