My father had a firearm stolen from him. He reported it (and it's serial number) to the police.
If it ever turns up at a crime scene... they'll know it was his stolen gun.
If a firearm is stolen, and the owner reports the theft, that firearm's serial number is listed as stolen.
If law enforcement finds that gun on a person and runs a check, it's serial number will come back as stolen.
If someone buying a used gun wants a check performed (to see if it's stolen) the police can run the serial number.
How does registration chenge any of this? :shrug:
