Consider this as an editable essay seeking consensus. It may remain with that label until consensus is reached that it is a viable guideline or even far future policy.
Many of the articles we have contain guns and gun incidents. Although some of the article subjects will influence
gun politics and
firearms law others will not, and to varying degrees. One extreme is no mention at all even though material has
due weight to be included, the other extreme is articles becoming
coatracks. This is not the only forum with
similar views.
When a crime involves named suspects see crime. Persons are presumed innocent and will be treated as such until acquitted or convicted.
Include material in a legacy/reactions/aftermath section. If laws were changed to a great extent or the incident were the main cause of a political turmoil some may wish to include it in the lead. This may become a matter of debate until consensus is reached.
Wikipedia is not a newspaper. Sources may claim that the article subject will effect laws but until it does then avoid speculative material such as:
Open for examples and edit to match above if you wish.
