I would expect a database of gunowner with serial numbers and for each weapon a ballistics profile.

Makes sense. There is a database of people with permits to operate and all ownerships including VIN of vehicles.. that's not weird either.

The NRA specifically lobbied to prohibit digital databasing of guns, gun owners, and gun sales. All gun traces are done by filing through paper copies of form 4473.
