I was going to refrain from commenting, but BSA has opened the gate.
The police have been trying to build the case that all guns in criminal hands come from licensed firearm owners, not from any other source.
I think Nicole Mckee got from Coster an admission that they actually only know where a small proportoo of guns have come from, and they are now trying to say "well - that is where all the guns come from" - and now this article very conveniently is produced.
I read the news very well, and had clearly missed any prior reporting of that case, and it just seemed to convenient in light of recent comments from the police and politicians.
A quick google search will provide some background.
Now - a Joseph Grond did sign a petition for COLFO - so this article could all be true, but WHY was the case previously unreported. The media, for this sort of public interest case would have been all over it. The police would have ensured there was coverage of it.
I read the article, and it didnt read right, in fact it stinks, there is a distinct lack of realism to it, ie lack of dates.
I would hope for the medias credibilty that this article was fact checked first, for me the jory is out - however it is a good plausible "story"
