[upant]

for those who think it is easy to buy guns illegally online

Key takeaways from the GAO’s report:

The GAO attempted 72 times to illegally purchase a firearm on gun forums and other classified ads.
They were unable to obtain any firearms.
29 sellers stated they would not ship the firearm.
27 refused after they learned that the attempted buyer was prohibited from buying.
In 5 instances, the accounts the GAO set up were frozen by the websites, which prohibited them from even accessing the forums.

even on the dark web they failed most of the time.

The GAO attempted seven purchases on the dark web and successfully obtained two firearms, an AR-15, and an Uzi

This just means they didn’t try to buy from any paid informants or ATF partners. Then they would have certainly been able to conduct an illegal transaction. If you want illegal guns you have to go to the government, it’s partners or friends.
