But the comment about a registry stopping straw buying is pure wishful thinking, there is zero mechanism or even enough manpower to review the firearms licence holders to actually ensure what is registered is actually there.

That is true, I guess the police are looking at recovered firearms will close the loop in that they will able to identify where they came from. But again how easy is it to grind off a serial number.

If I were the police I would be taking gun sales -> serials -> LFAOs inventories, looking at who owned a lot more weapons than average and doing random audits. The guy above had purchased ~70 firearms - people like that would stand out like a ducks nuts.

There is an opportunity for the police to run it right and make a useful tool. But who the f**k am I kidding...
