Today's Standard Times front page lead is on LTC. Not a bad article. Not anti-gun anyway. Interviewed local PD and gun shop owners.

Law enforcement officials and gun sellers say they see little if any connection between licensed gun owners and the proliferation of illegal weapons on the street.
You might expect that we'd be finding guns that are stolen from house breaks in New Bedford, but that hasn't been our experience," Lt. Silva (NBPD) said. "It doesn't play out that way in reality. That's not where these guns are coming from."
"The (illegal) guns we come across many times are stolen from out of state or bought in other states that have fewer restrictions," he said.
"Typically, gun owners are the most law-abiding people. They're very responsible. They're taking the precautions to keep their guns safe."
Also article on Gun and ammo sales and interviewed local gun shops owners.
