Anti-gun pieces of shit ordered a 2.5 year investigation on online gun sales and how easy it is for prohibited individuals to purchase guns online. Only for it to prove them otherwise.

They aren't owning up to it.

The only "successful" attempts were the guns they bought from the deep web, but they could not provide the info that they are prohibited individuals, so that's a fucking fail, too.

“Private sellers on Surface Web gun forums and in classified ads were unwilling to sell a firearm to our agents that self-identified as being prohibited from possessing a firearm,” the GAO reported, noting that in their “72 attempts ... 56 sellers refused to complete a transaction once we revealed that either the shipping address was across state lines or that we were prohibited by law from owning firearms.” In the other cases, the investigators' website was frozen or they encountered suspected scammers.

Lol. Sweet

The gun laws we have in the books work. No need to add more, just need to enforce the existing ones

No more slaps on the wrist for armed robberies and drive by types just because no one actually got hurt. They’ve shown they’re willing to use potentially lethal force for their own personal benefit, and it’s only a matter of time until there’s a victim

The bit about “self identified as prohibited individuals” gives me pause tho. The study is effing useless unless they’re using a felon trying to buy guns, without outright saying he’s a felon. Have the guy lie, attempt to buy within the state, and see if the system catches and stops him
 
The second amendment makes all others possible.
 
I still remember them shrieking, "The NRA made it illegal for the CDC to do studies on Gun Control !!!"

And then Obama wrote an Executive Order and got the CDC $10M to create "Priorities for Research to Reduce the Threat of Firearm-Related Violence."

It was 'game over' for gun owners. The headlines read: "The Executive Order the NRA Should Fear the Most".

And then the results came out...

I'm no Sociologist, but I wonder about the ethics of a study based on soliciting crime.
 
There is no such thing as a gun show loophole. It is just a made up phrase liberals use to push their agenda.
 
Would also add that the feds dont prosecute people for lying on the form or attempting to buy when they are prohibited possesors.
 
I'm so sad America has fallen into this gun-hole.
 
Tuned up 2x SIG p226's tonight. Its clear I will need more magazines.

So they apparently just told people that they were prohibited from buying guns while attempting to do so? Did this study only find out something analogous to 17-year-olds going into liquor stores and then telling the cashier that they were under age were actually refused sale? It doesn't do anything to indicate that they could have just not given that information? Applying to the same analogy: would the liquor store have checked their ID before selling them the booze?

So true.

What kind of retarded idea was it to actually study something you think is a problem.

Much better to guess than to find out facts.

I find it funny that the article links a study in which buyers only said they "probably couldn't pass a background check" were still able to purchase from 62% of sellers (last paragraph)

The NRA described the study as an attempt to model the findings of former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s 2015 report, titled “Point, Click, Fire: An investigation of illegal online gun sales,” which found that 62 percent of private sellers were willing to proceed with a sale, even if the prospective purchaser could not pass a background check.

Excuse me if i don't accept your word as gospel on the matter.

Your anti science views (testing is silly) make me think you have little to add.

In this instance, I can vouch for @WorldofWarcraft

Everytown is little more than a well funded arm of the Civilian Disarmament lobby.

And vastly out funded by the nra.

Regardless, critising people for doing research then cherry picking one aspect of thst research factual and disregarding the rest as bullshit is not going to endear me to him or his intellectual integrity.
