Dem-ordered study to expose illegal online gun sales backfires

Right. We have plenty of gun laws. If the justice system had some teeth to it we wouldn't have so many repeat offenders on the street to begin with. Enforcement and shutting the revolving door on prisons would be a better use of Congressional oversight, IMO

TSgt David L. - it is a crime to try to buy a gun if you cant own one. If you try you should be charged and prosecuted with that crime.

SSG (Join to see) - Exactly. And they successfully stopped 2 transactions with folks who chose not follow the law. They probably spent a couple of million dollars to that end.

TSgt David L. - They also were using the dark web where criminals go to do illegal things on the internet.

Those two purchases happened over the dark web, too, not the regular internet. (I say that as if I know what I'm talking about. I wouldn't have a clue how to get on the dark web if my life depended on it.) Using the websites on the regular internet that most people use, they weren't able to complete any purchases at all.

SSgt Christopher Brose - I didn't catch that part. I don't really understand the whole deal either. I know there are a couple of IPs that folks use but as I'm not hiding terrorist activities or other nefarious crap I don't care. Obviously the ATF has someone that can do it...
