I've also heard it said that the serial numbers are obliterated in photos as anti-gunners will take the serial number and report the gun stolen to harass gun owners. This seems highly unlikely to me as they would be opening themselves up to criminal prosecution for filing a false report all to achieve what would amount to extremely limited results.
