44 AMP ....Since 2019 or so, every firearm used firearm sold or traded to an FFL or placed with one on consignment or for internet sale, or pawned, is placed on a 10 day hold, while the dealer (gun shop or pawn shop) notified the police and they run a trace on the gun through the ATF, to determine if the gun is stolen. This applies to ALL the FFL holders in the state.
It's not uncommon for local PD to visit pawnshops to check for stolen merchandise.

But I question the "run a trace through ATF, to determine if the gun is stolen".
ATF NTC does run gun traces, but isn't the database to check if a gun is/was stolen. ATF doesn't maintain a stolen gun database, thats the FBI NCIC.

Once a gun is recovered at a crime scene or LE needs to know who it was previously transferred to....THEN they do an ATF firearm trace.
