The US government, specifically the ATF, can track firearms by tracing serial numbers through manufacturers, distributors, and gun stores. This process is initiated when the ATF is looking for a specific type of banned firearm. While they cannot access a general list of all firearms owned by an individual, they have a high success rate (reported as 98.7%) in locating a specific gun or its last known owner through this chain of records.
