I was also thinking about the gun. I'll bet LE didn't even confiscate it, and instead just left it there, in the hands of DM. Obviously they didn't bother to check ownership records of the gun. DM had told LE that WM had owned guns - they likely just left it there. Waiting for DM to commit another murder with it.
It appears WMs death was never deemed “suspicious” at the onset and therefore Homicide Detectives were never involved. If the gun was only tested for DNA after the case was reopened, that occurred after TBs murder.
“....Outside court, Det. Mike Carbone of the Toronto Police Service refused to answer questions about how the investigation unfolded at the outset, when police and the coroner originally determined Wayne Millard shot himself.
"I'm not going to comment on whether or not it would have prevented any other investigations, because we really don't know," he said.
Once the case was reopened, investigators discovered that Millard's DNA was on the gun used to shoot his father, and his cell phone had pinged off nearby cell towers around the time it's believed Wayne died....”

Without a search warrant, I agree, I also don’t think LE confiscated the gun at the time of WMs death.
“With no search warrant, he and the officers looked casually around the home for a suicide note, but never found one. Evans ordered an autopsy, requested toxicology tests, and made a preliminary call on the death as a suicide.”
