SEATTLE (AP) — A yearlong Associated Press analysis found more than a dozen firearms sold by law enforcement agencies in Washington state since 2010 later became evidence in new criminal investigations.
Identifying guns sold by law enforcement and matching them to new crimes required extensive research and dozens of public records requests to individual agencies.
Using those records, the AP created a database of almost 6,000 firearms sold by law enforcement since 2010. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives declined to release tracking information on guns associated with crimes, so the AP collected that information from individual agencies and compared it with its own database to find firearms with matching make, model, caliber and serial numbers.
They conducted the study due to ATF urging. Should it have been ignored?
It turns out that if you try several times, anyone can pick up an AR-15 or a full-auto Uzi. In the other hand, private sellers can still legally sell firearms if I am not mistaken.

In these attempts, agents did not disclose any information about whether they were prohibited from possessing a firearm. Of these seven attempts, two on a Dark Web marketplace were successful. Specifically, GAO agents purchased and received an AR-15 rifle and an Uzi that the seller said was modified so that it would fire automatically.

1. There should be no ATF
2. As I posted earlier, the ATF is responsible for its own illegal gun sales
According to what is being reported the tried 72 times to entrap people in a gun transaction crime and failed every time.
It shoots dead the notion that we need more laws dealing with gun transactions.
If its tried 72 times and fails to get the results wanted or expected its a sign that liberal assumptions are flawed.
It hard to imagine people would listen to these clowns on anything gun related.

You're missing the main point. It is NOT that easy to buy a gun illegally off the internet. Something every gun owner out there already knows. If these anti-gunners weren't so damned arrogant, and would open their ears and minds, there's a lot we could get done. Instead, they persist with half-truths and outright lies, and then they whine when gun owners tell them to F off, rather than try to work with them.
