It's about trading and trafficking in illegal firearms, and how if you can provide traceability it can allow you to assert a tighter regime of control.
You'll find its a stolen gun. Now what?
Why don't you simply say that if you are in possession of a gun that has its serial number filed off then you get the maximum penalty allowable under whatever law they deem appropriate.
It's the inverse of the car part problem. With car parts they can ID the parts easily, but finding a stolen part among millions of legitimate parts out in the real world is not easy, but as my colleague points virtually all guns seized in a raid are effectively illegal but they have had their identity removed so they are untraceable!
