Not a database that anyone can modify. Not wikipedia. Think about the same concept as the sex offender registry. You and I can read from it, but we can't add people...
If more government is the answer it is a bad idea. Whatever permissions you give to the government they will eventually use it on you. Opening up a database to allow private transfers to see if a firearm is stolen is a small step towards requiring all sales go through FFL and background check. This is what the antis want.
Bingo. Sounds like a great idea until you get cornered into mandatory documentation for searches on a private sale. Then, the data on the clean gun you just bought is going to forever be stored somewhere.

Re: buying private gun from someone, how to check the serial

I can understand wanting to be cautious, but this sounds a lot like what anti's would argue against private sales.
