Police Log | The Herald-Sun
Seeing this story today makes me think that we really ought to record the full story of all guns that wind up involved in crimes or violence/misuse of any kind. What do I mean? In this case, let's make sure the public record - here, for example - shows the make and model of the gun involved in this incident, along with serial number. Let's answer the question publicly about the origin of the gun. Who bought it? When? How many owners has it had? How did it change ownership if it did? Where is it now? If with the police, what will they do with it short and long term? If taken out of circulation, how? If not, what happens to it, both during the disposition of the criminal charges and beyond?
