It's in their interests to shut down ""Rogue FFLS" who may receive stolen goods (think similar to pawn shops)

So you think it's a ploy to setup and catch ffl's not running serial numbers prior to purchase? It wouldn't make sense to withhold that info. The likelihood that someone would try to resell and transfer the gun legally after stealing it is slim to none. The best way to find it would be to offer that information publicly to try to recover it under the table.

We're talking about an agency that put two men in Fed jail for metal etchings of a gun part while they don't really prosecute literal gang members caught with Glock Switches outside a few token add-on charges...

And a Department that told FFLs to let certain guns walk across the border
