LOL, I've heard that this is the most broken part of the system, people own guns that don't show up, guns that have been sold years ago show up, heck, even the same gun to multiple people owning it is the latest. I used to work with a retired MA LEO who told me horror stories about how bad it is and if the clerk entering the paper file into the database on a Monday would literally throw darts at a stack of papers and enter those that had holes in it.At the time of license renewal, require each gun owner to verify and sign an affidavit that he or she still owns all the guns legally registered to him or her and increase penalties for failure to report lost or stolen firearms.

Move legislation forward to curb gun violence
LOL ... I followed the link to wicked local new (Cambridge ) to read this article about this Cambridge house member and one of the story links at the bottom of the page was "Cambridge Rindge and Latin student stabbed".
