The worst thing about all this is the deception of why it is being done. 
Michigan has a handgun registry.  For several years, you had to pick up a
ppurchase permit to buy a handgun, then within ten days of purchase, take it
to your local police department (or county building if live in a township)
and have a "safety" inspection done.  At this time the model and serial
number was registered as a means to track it if it was stolen.  I went with a
friend when he got his Ruger Blackhawk .44 inspected, and all the police
chief did was fondle the gun, ask him why he "needed" a cannon, then offered
to buy it from him because he liked it too.

Going through the county was a crazier adventure.  A buddy bought a Tec-22 in
the mid 1990's, and the "inspection clerk" knew very little about firearms. 
He gave her the pistol unloaded with no magazine.  he had two magazines for
it - a ten round Ruger rotary mag for a 10-22, and a Ramline 25 round magazine
..  She freaked when she saw the 25 round magazine, then called another
officer over to look at my friend's "machine pistol." The other officer
chilled her ass down and said everything was fine.  The paperwork was done,
and we left with no problems.
