Court records show two 18 year olds, Jeremy Reynolds and John Gillespie Jr., broke into America's 2nd Amendment Firearms in Cedar Rapids on June 3 and Midwest Shooting in Hiawatha on June 16, stealing 40 pistols and revolvers and eight rifles. Reynolds pleaded not guilty to theft of a firearm from a licensee with trial set for Sept. 18. Gillespie waived indictment, arraignment Aug. 3. Police recovered the guns from Midwest Shooting and linked a later recovered firearm to America's 2nd Amendment Firearms. The men were arrested after surveillance captured two suspects with gun-filled bags.
