Suffering from a "registry glitch"

I also suffer from a registry 'glitch'. I inherited my dads guns so we transferred every gun registered to him to me and I took the lot of guns. Turns out he had 1 more registered to him that is now in my name but the gun doesn't exist.

It is a non-existent make with no serial # which I eventually figured out was because one of the rifles was registered twice, the second time being based off of some marking on the buttstock.

So I called the registry to explain the error and have it corrected.... NOPE. The registry doesn't make mistakes I am told.

If I want that gun removed from my name in the registry I must call the police and report it stolen. They will remove it only once I submit the police report. I explained that it is a crime to fraudulently report a crime to which they told me that is the only way they will remove the non-existent gun from my name.

Registered twice

Thankfully the end is near:

So when the long gun registry came out I had 2 shot guns and a .22 registerd. 2 years ago now I had them all confiscated for unsafe storage. The police ran the serial numbers and determined that they werent registered. But offered to release them 2 months later, only if I registered them right then and there. So again I got the paperwork in the mail. Well I was cleaning out the file cabinet today and found the originals from 2003... funny same serial numbers different registration numbers.

A reply;

I had to register a rifle twice as when i sent in the ifo the forst time, i never got the registration certificate, and when i enquired was told they never got the form, but i had made copies of the forms before I sent them in, so i guess what i sent got lost on a desk some where. also another rifle I registered, I got in the mail a letter and a number, this number I was to stamp, etch on the rifle. when I enquired again about this number I was told that there was no serial number to the rifle, but i told them there was and that i had copies of the paper work that I had sent in.

Now get this, I was told that one reson was that this type of rifle had been produced so many times that the serial numbers where repeating themselves, and thats what I had to put this number on the rifle, and LOL get this, i was also told that maybe the scanner did not pick up the information I had sent in. So I redid the paper work and got it registered with out having to put new numbers on the rifle.
