There are keys on your key board that allow for punctuation; little things like periods and commas make understanding what you write possible!
It sounds like you are telling us that the gun has had it's serial number removed and this is a felony.
Its stolen
You dont have to be the person who removed the number, simple possession of that gun is a crime. I would suggest you find a very deep lake and chuck it.
Periods................ comas,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
its already gone
It cant be gone already, because your first question was a fictinal writing, and the gun never existed in the first place.

I agree. Nobody would be stupid enough to face a $250,000 fine and 10 years in a federal pen by publicly posting that they have a handgun with a defaced or obliterated serial number. Nobody.
Do not adjust your monitor. This is only a test.
a. Its stolen.
b. It was used in a crime,
c. It was INTENDED to be used in a crime. (IE its a throwaway gun).
Obliterating the serial number of a gun is a Federal crime.
Possession of a gun with an obliterated serial number is a crime.
But just having a gun without a serial number may not be. Guns were not required to have a serial number prior to the 68 gun control law.
In some cases legitimate rebuilds of guns can destroy the serial number, and this was historically true of a number of military Colt 1911 pistols.
Also, in some cases what looks like an obliterated serial number can actually be restored, and in such cases, its perfectly legal to do so. For example, some guns have the same serial number engraved on multiple parts. If you can identify the number, it may be able to be restored. In some cases, special techniques can be used to help visualize numbers that appear to have been removed.
If this is a cheapo gun, the best thing to do is probably destroy the frame entirely. (If it has salvagable parts, they might have some value).
Hint: Try using the word removed in place of "took off" and you'll probably land a better job!
