Yep...two anit gun democrats attempted to show how easy it was to buy guns online if you were a criminal.....and it failed miserably.....they got nothing......the only two guns they were able to buy they had to go to the "Dark Web." As one gun site pointed out, you can buy human beings on the Dark Web so getting illegal guns isn't a problem. In fact, a 19 year old British college student bought a gun on the Dark Web with the intent of shooting up the University that had kicked him out. British gun laws didn't stop the sale, British gun laws didn't stop the shooting...the idiot posted about the shooting on social media and the cops arrested him.....
Covert Operation Requested by Anti-Gun Dems to Bust Illegal Internet Sales Comes up Empty - Judicial Watch
An investigation requested by two fierce anti-gun members of Congress to determine if firearms are purchased illegally from internet dealers has come up empty. Maryland Congressman Elijah Cummings and Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren demanded the probe in the aftermath of mass shootings and the investigative arm of Congress, the Government Accountability Office (GAO), conducted a lengthy covert operation to try to purchase firearms illegally from internet dealers.
All 72 of Congressional investigators’ attempts to purchase a firearm illegally via the surface web were unsuccessful, slamming Cummings’ and Warren’s claims that guns are easily obtained by criminal elements on the internet.
“All of our attempts to purchase firearms from private sellers on the surface web were unsuccessful,” the GAO writes in an extensive report.
“Our covert testing involving GAO agents attempting to purchase firearms illegally on the Surface Web were unsuccessful. Specifically, 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.”
Most of the sellers refused to complete a transaction once the undercover investigator revealed either a shipping address across state lines or a prohibition by law from owning firearms. Five of the vendors went so far as to freeze the undercover GAO accounts, preventing agents from using forums and attempting to make a purchase.
