OK, that's technically not impossible. A thief hacks into a police station, steals the gun ownership registry and then robs the guns while people are away.
Honestly, I think that is a stupid plan, though. If you have the resources to hack into police, wouldn't that resources be way better spent to hack for more valuable data? I wouldn't go for expensive guns, I would go for people with high income. Hack that information and then rob their houses.
Second, if I were a thief I would avoid the gun owners rather than targeting them, but maybe I'm just too cautious.
What it boils down to for me: I see it's a possibility, but I'd argue for giving that aspect the weight it deserves. Which isn't that much.
The gun ownership, cross-referenced with address would yield high value targets, but they'd also have far better security.
Honestly, I doubt someone would electronically hack the local registry.
It would be far more likely that a "hard copy" ended up outside the station.
