    Unsuccessful as in ZERO outta 72 attempts. Wonder if any of their attempts was one of the "drive-bys" I've seen in the classifieds here.:confused:

    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.

    “Our covert testing involving GAO agents attempting to purchase firearms illegally on the Surface Web were unsuccessful. Specifically, private sellers on 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.

    Covert Operation Requested by Anti-Gun Dems to Bust Illegal Internet Sales Comes up Empty

    You can bet that if even one of those attempts was successful, that the headline would say they were successful. It wouldn't tell us only one attempt was successful, it would just say that they were successful.

    When we say "come and take it", everyone had better understand who it is that'll be knocking on the door to come and take it.
