Old Dominion Terror Attack Exposes the Myth of Gun Tracing

Summary

An analysis of the Old Dominion University terror attack highlights the limitations of gun tracing, where the stolen Glock 44 .22 caliber handgun with an obliterated serial number was untraceable through federal systems. The article argues that the tracing system is obsolete and ineffective, as the seller of the gun was found via telephone records, not gun tracing. It also cites Canada's handgun registration system as an example of an ineffective policy.
