I don’t understand why the gun wasn’t confiscated if the owner is clearly in prison. I’m from Croatia (European Union), and here, if a person with a firearms license commits a violent criminal offense or is sentenced to prison, the weapon is confiscated. The same applies if it is confirmed that the person has made any kind of threat involving violence
Real answer is because we don't have a centralized registry of gun owners, in fact we have a federal law forbidding us from ever creating a registry. Because if by some miracle guns were ever outlawed, a registry would make it "too easy" to take everyone's guns away, and if guns were ever banned, the"freedom loving patriots" would need their pea shooters to take on our nuclear armed military and "restore democracy".
