A heartwarming story
This almost brought a tear to my eye.
Almost.
A Texas man was returned his gun that had been stolen some twenty-plus years ago.

Police tracked the gun once it was sold to a pawn shop. This is one reason I am in favor of serial numbers. Not to register guns - as that is illegal to do in all but a few states. And I do not think serial numbers should be mandatory. The simple fact is that a gun with a serial number can be tracked back to its lawful owner if stolen.
There's a good chance that a stolen gun is used in other crimes. After all, criminals usualy disregard laws - including the laws against the theft of the gun in the first place.
