    Default GAO attempts to buy guns illegally online

    Unsurprisingly to those of us here, they were utterly unsuccessful. Results here:

    https://www.gao.gov/assets/690/688535.pdf

    TL, DR; version: 72 attempts to illegally buy guns online, 56 sellers told, 'em to f-off, 5 phony accounts banned by forum mods for revealing they were prohibited in one fashion or another, and 11 were abandoned after the GAO concluded the seller was trying to scam them, including one that they paid for and never received.

    ...but...but...that's not what I hear from the MSM.
    Liberals never met a slippery slope they didn't grease.

    I wish technology solved people issues. It seems to just reveal them.

    It wouldn't surprise me. I wouldn't be at all surprised to find out that the mods here were responsible for one or more bans on "buyers" that revealed they were prohibited or otherwise solicited illegal behavior. The mods here do an amazing job!

    Our members also tend to be pretty good at self policing, mostly through their law abiding natures, and maybe partly due to paranoia about ATF and/or other law enforcement stings.

    Clearly this isn't true because I've been told by dozens of Europeans I've argued with that in America, school children can buy machine guns at Walmart without any ID ... cash and carry.
    Modern liberalism is based on the idea that reality is obligated to conform to one's beliefs because; "I have the right to believe whatever I want".

    "Everything the State says is a lie, and everything it has it has stolen.
    -Friedrich Nietzsche

    "Every time something really bad happens, people cry out for safety, and the government answers by taking rights away from good people."
    -Penn Jillette

    A World Without Guns <- Great Read!

    9 times, they tried to scam us. 2 times, we fell for it.
    There's a fine line between cuddling and holding someone down so they can't get away.

    ... On the "surface web."

    They were able to complete purchases and receive product via the dark web.

    On the surface, it appears good for the good guys, but the libs in congress are going to cherry pick the fails.

    He paraphrased a part of the report.

    The only "success" on the surface web were scams and they never received anything.
