Anyone found in possession of unregistered firearm (includidng ones without serial numbers) is automatically acting illegaly, so bad buyers will not buy to onsell to gangs. It is the only benefit of the register, apart from boosting the public perception we are acting honestly and legally as firearms users.

But yes I agree it is a waste of time, I'm trying to look on the bright side here.
