It can't work if semi autos from before 1968 aren't serialized, as there is no "record" of their ownership, especially if they were purchased prior to all the recordkeeping requirements. Lotta guns out there that aren't on file. Prior to 1968, very few guns (full auto, destructive devices, etc.) were on file. Full autos prior to 1934 weren't on the books, either. The "regulation problem", you see, is of fairly recent vintage. Semi and full auto were around for quite some time before someone tried to get them all "papered".
