It involves searching records. In a perfect world it would go like this: You commit a crime and get caught. The sn on your gun is given to various agencies who trace it. The manufacturer can tell when it was made and who they shipped it to. Who it was shipped to can tell who they shipped it to or who they sold it to. You bought it legally and committed a crime with it. Easy trace.

In the real world, once you find who it was originally sold to then the real searching begins. The original owner could be dead, trace ends. The original owner could have legally disposed of it and doesn't remember to who, trace ends. Original owner could have disposed of it illegally, trace ends. You get the idea...
