Roy is corrrect. (I actually said that). When I bought my Ruger, I had to fill
out a detailed form to register the gun to myself via ATF. The pawn shop owner
said, in Louisiana the form is just filed, however if the gun is used in a
crime, it will be traced back to me. For that reason, you should immediately
report lost or stolen weapons to ATF.

Lee, on the internet anyone can find anything they want.  It's like a black
market in beautiful color.

This is one time I don't feel Bush is at fault. (I can't believe I said that).
 
My concern is "our liberal friends" who want to outlaw guns. This goes to give
some proof that if anyone wants to buy a gun, guns are openly available on the
black market.  By outlawing legally registered guns, our protections from nut
cases like the South Korean are taken away.
