The gun could have been purchased 3000 miles away from this community. Why are they only pursuing the local gun owners?

Profiling.

It is “likely” that is came from a source nearby.

Here is your answer from the article:

Authorities believe the killers are from the Weleetka area, given the remote location of the girls' slayings. They said the killers had to be familiar with the area — N. 3890 Road (County Line Road) north of Coleman Road, about four miles northeast of Weleetka.

Because the OSBI has to be actively doing something when the reporters write this story, don't they?

It's nice to be able to fall back on the basis that 15 "gun nuts" are posing an obstacle to you solving the murder because they're 'hiding behind silly constitutional protections.'

Wouldn't it be nice if a reporter would actually ask these obvious questions? I mean, if the case has gone cold, and the only way to find the killer is a gun registry, then we need a FEDERAL sweep of all 40 cals, don't we? NOW!

How right you are!

Wonder when they're going to show up in SD, and ask me if they can check mine?

You never know; it could have sneaked out one night, and hitched a ride with a rogue SUV...

Because they want to appear to be doing something. And from some of the moronic post here in this thread, I see it is working.

why?

because police are not the sharpest tools in the shed. They must think it is a local person and they were doing this to establish guilt by refusal to cooperate.

A policeman’s job is easy in a police state.

this is no differnet than a policeman saying either cooperate or we will use your failure to cooperate to get a warrant.
