"We're concerned because obviously they could fall into the hands of criminals."

Duhhh... If someone took them, then by definition they would be a criminal.

LOL! Bro, they have a flair for the obvious.

We're worried that the the criminals who stole these guns might be up to criminal activity.

Just because something(s) are missing, does not yet prove a theft- could be computer problem, UPS/FEDEX, inventory, some things other than theft. But if they were really stolen, then, yes, it is by definition criminal.

You beat me to the post. That statement by the ATF spokeman is laughable. That should be ranked right up there with all time assinic quotes.
