Abstract: System and method for collecting, storing, and providing information related to firearms. More specifically, an embodiment tracks ownership and/or possession of a firearm from its manufacture onward (i.e., from cradle to grave) between and among registered firearm manufactures, firearm sellers/dealers, individual gun owners, pawn shops, law enforcement agencies, government agencies, and any other entity or individual stakeholder that may own and/or posses the firearm. An embodiment may further authenticate firearm-related transactions, provide notifications to registered users, and enable local and global reports of loss, theft, and/or the use in a crime.
