Gun used in Paris terror attack traced to Florida

It is high time that the United States takes a re-look at its gun laws and policies and introduces suitable checks to ensure that guns do not fall into wrong hands and, simultaneously, prevent easy access to guns that are being used by people to carry out mass killings. This is because one of the guns used in the Paris terror attack has been traced to a gun dealer in Florida.
This has been reported in nzherald.co.nz dated 12 December 2015.

The gun dealer is Century Arms, based in Florida, and it has indicated that it was cooperating with authorities since a pistol it sold was recovered from the scene of the Paris terror attacks. The dealer has said that it scrupulously follows all state, federal and local laws and was not involved in wrongdoing.
It has also clarified that the pistol was legally imported into the United States and legally sold to a licensed, domestic firearms dealer more than two years ago may have been recovered from the scene of the Paris shootings.
The gun was made by Zastava arms factory in Serbia and some of the arms believed to be used in last month's deadly Paris attacks were manufactured there, including one that was exported to Century Arms in 2013.
The weapon has been identified as a semi-automatic pistol PV M92 and it was legally exported to Century Arms in May 2013.
