3. There was this guy...

...in Florida who bought the gun from the guy who bought the gun from the Florida dealer. Things were fine thus far since this guy was a cop and cops are beyond reproach and always to be trusted with guns (unless they're sometimes not). In the intervening 26 years the Florida cop (let's call him Officer Morpheus) committed two heinous and thoughtless acts. First he had a habit of keeping the gun in his car trunk under the spare with a trigger lock engaged. Now this car came into the possession of another individual (let's call him Smith). This brings to Officer Morpheus' second indiscretion, he had, in the most inconsiderate fashion, the gall to experience a fatal cardiac event without properly disposing of his firearm.

This unknown free agent, Smith, acquired the gun along with the car in which it was left, after a couple resales. The unknown and apparently unsavory agent, Smith, not wanting anything to do with the gun, gave it to a friend who gave/sold it to another...

Eventually this Colt makes its way to Boston via the grey market.

Conclusion: Obviously both Smith and Morpheus belong in prison.
