Inside the Federal Bureau of Way Too Many Guns

This is absolutely amazing, and horrifying.

Horrified though I may be about gun ownership, I assumed all these transactions would be stored and retrievable on some kind of governmental mainframe, so much so that whenever a character on TV ends up in possession of somebody else’s firearm (“let me keep that”) I always thought to myself “whoah, that has to be illegal, some paperwork must be filed to account for the change in possession, right?”

Turns out I'm wrong.

Turns out they're banned from using computers, to ensure it's as awkward as possible.
