Frequently Asked Questions About Gun Tracking
Yes, it’s possible to put a tracker on a gun or firearm. In fact, law enforcement agencies, firearm manufacturers, and firing ranges place trackers on guns and firearms to manage maintenance, track ownership, support check-in and check-out procedures, and to comply with regulations such as ATF, ITAR, MIL-STD-130, and others.
Placing a gun tracking label or tag on the weapon is the foundation of a gun tracking system. This tag has a unique identification or serial number associated with the gun. Depending on the use case, information about the gun is stored in a tracking software solution.
For example, the ATF’s National Tracing Center (NTC) traces guns and firearms used in the commission of crimes in its eTrace system, and the Department of Defense (DoD) tracks guns and other high-value assets in its IUID (Item Unique Identification) Registry.
Yes. Gun manufacturers assign unique serial numbers to guns, which can then be tracked through the wholesale and retail distribution chain (from the manufacturer to the dealer) and the original retail buyer.
The ATF’s National Tracing Center (NTC) is the only organization that’s authorized to track and trace guns that have been used in the commission of crimes for law enforcement agencies. However, the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) also tracks guns that fall under its IUID (Item Unique Identification) program.
Law enforcement agencies, manufacturers, and shooting ranges also use gun tracking for the purpose of monitoring the weapons that are in use and reducing theft or loss.
Gun track and trace systems help to deter theft or diversion by criminals. Without gun track and trace, a theft may go undetected for an extended time. When guns are tracked, regular inventory audits help to ensure that all guns are accounted for.
Law enforcement agencies use gun track and trace to solve crimes that involve firearms and track down gun retailers and buyers who evade the law, and the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) uses gun tracking to monitor guns throughout the supply chain and reduce the likelihood that they end up in the hands of nefarious actors.
