Gun traced murder weapon slips through tracking net
ATF could not trace the .38 Taurus used in Colosio’s assassination and says the gun’s history is unknowable. Sold in 1977 for 50 dollars, later passed through a San Francisco shop, a Texas security firm, and disappeared by 1980. Experts note routine gaps in gun tracing amid 220 million firearms.
