The shocker is… Gun Owners are Law Abiding and will not sell willingly to prohibited persons.
Tests performed on the Surface Web demonstrated that private sellers GAO contacted on gun forums and other classified ads were unwilling to sell a firearm to an individual who appeared to be prohibited from possessing a firearm. Of the 72 attempts agents made to purchase firearms on the Surface Web, 56 sellers refused to complete a transaction: 29 sellers stated they would not ship a firearm and 27 refused after the disclosure of the undercover identities’ stated prohibited status. Furthermore, in 5 of these 72 attempts, the accounts GAO set up were frozen by the websites, which prevented the agents from using the forums and attempting to make a purchase.
Color me totally unsurprised. The Gao Report is interesting to read and I do believe they were kinda shocked they could not make a purchase among the good people and how harsh they were shut down by individuals and websites.
And you know some people are having a rash in their unmentionable parts because we get to say I TOLD YOU SO!
So much for the “on line loophole”…..
