The article is mostly about straw buyers, license holders who buy firearms then flick them onto gangs. And mostly about this guy Grond.
And interestingly, for a different point of view, the police are expecting once they close the straw buyer loophole they expect the gangs to switch to things like burglaries, ram raiding dealers etc. Not a single mention of fees.
It's a reasonable well written article, not the crap you usually see in stuff - plus it has some interesting and valid points from the police.
