Correct in that the Colfo OIA requests show that as a single point data search there isn't any consistency in how the data is recorded to allow solid data but in terms of the info they are recording for stolen firearms, the data they are recording is going to show that ALL of them are going to be stolen from firearms license holders. Obviously, if you aren't a license holder you aren't going to report that your guns got flogged are you. What the data doesn't show is what they aren't finding, and that data is Customs and border agencies as well as Police so a bit of a dodge regarding using the data to show a point of view most likely.
