The point of all this tracing/tracking is moot anyway as the crime gun is generally a stolen gun.

That's why it's important to track - because it alerts the the police to the "stolen guns". A major source of guns to criminals is unscrupulous dealers (and I mostly mean the dealers who have a license but no store) who make fake sales to people who then say the gun was stolen but it was really sold, unrecorded, to someone who would never pass a background check.

Most gun owners are pretty protective about their weapons and so these are not stolen by burglers looking for TVs.

I would be in favor of gun owners re-affirming every 5 years or so that they still have the guns they bought. This would similar to getting an inspection sticker for your car.

The best way to stop/reduce the gun related crime is to never let offenders who use guns out of jail for the rest of their lives.
It's always better to prevent these tragedies than to regret them later and seek revenge after the fact.
