You still haven't told me how it prevents/solves crime.
The PAL(formally FAC)....also gives you information on who bought a gun. In fact I'd say if the cops what to identify someone, or get a description of the person, the PAL does it a lot better than a statement of registration.
My PAL has my name, height, eye color, DOB, and I assume if they'd scan it, where I reside and phone number as well.
If the idea is to strictly find out whether or not there is a gun at the house the cops are raiding, you have to consider a few things. If they're raiding a house, chances are there are criminals inside, and criminals don't register guns, so if the cops check the database and it says no guns in house, then the information could be life threatening.
That much has already been said by numerous cops. Some whom I personally know.
