You don't need
Tor. You don't need super-secret encryption. And you definitely don't
need a background check. Getting firearms online, fast, without any
legal fuss, is pretty easy. In fact, a new report concludes plenty of
domestic abusers and violent felons are getting guns that way.Titled
"Online and Off the Record," the report by Everytown.-.the Mike
Bloomberg-affiliated pro-regulation gun group - suggests that hundreds
of thousands, probably millions, of guns nationwide are now being sold
online sans paperwork or background checks, and as many as 10 percent of
them are going straight to convicted criminals who are legally barred
from owning firearms.
The report focused on web-based gun sales
in Washington state, where voters will decide in November whether to
require background checks on all weapons purchases and where "more than
forty thousand guns are posted for sale by unlicensed sellers on just
five websites" each year, without a background check requirement,
Everytown estimates.
