Old Dominion Terror Attack Exposes the Myth of Gun Tracing - Ammoland.com
The gun used in the terror attack on Old Dominion University was a stolen .22 caliber handgun that uses 10-round magazines. The pistol was untraceable for two common reasons.

From apnews.com:
The man charged Friday, Kenya Chapman, told federal agents in an interview that he stole the gun from a car in Newport News, Virginia, about a year before the shooting and recently sold it to Jalloh, according to an affidavit filed in court. Chapman said he met Jalloh at work and that Jalloh told him he needed the gun for protection as a delivery driver, the affidavit says.

WA Dems Ram Through Background Check Fee Hike, Sheriff Silencing Bills - Ammoland.com
As the Democrat-controlled Washington Legislature wrapped up its 2026 session, two bills that anti-gunners supported while gun owners opposed were rammed through and sent to anti-gun Democrat Gov. Bob Ferguson to sign, one hiking background check fees and the other a measure essentially designed to silence county sheriffs who publicly oppose gun control laws.
On the plus side, bills which died in committee include legislation which would have restricted possession of firearms in state or local public buildings, parks, playgrounds and county fairs, another measure limiting bulk purchases of firearms and ammunition, and a bill establishing so-called “safe storage” requirements for firearms in vehicles and residences.
However, House Bill 2521 allows the Washington State Patrol (WSP) to adjust its background check fees by setting “an amount reasonably calculated to cover the direct and indirect costs to the Washington state patrol incurred in administering the firearm background check program.”
