Is there a stolen firearm registry that we can use to research before purchasing a gun from a private party?

Then, if the gun turns out to be stolen, you can show the police where it came from. You will likely lose the gun, but you won't have any legal entanglements.
If your seller won't produce ID and a bill of sale, that's a big red flag. Walk away.
I buy guns, and I never ask the police to run them through NCIC. I am a dealer and I have to keep good records. That's my protection, and if you do likewise, you will be similarly protected.

Does anyone know if these are dependable sights?
A side question - why are all these posts showing I hour earlier than Eastern Standard Time? Where is this web site located?
