Thousands of People With Criminal Records Try to Buy Guns Online
Thousands of people with criminal backgrounds attempt to buy guns online each year — and that's just from one site, according to a new report.
The investigation, conducted by Mayors Against Illegal Guns, focused on the popular online gun vendor Armslist. In what the group called the first-ever national investigation of its type, it concluded "an estimated 25,000 guns could be transferred to individuals with criminal records on one website alone –- just a corner of a sprawling online market place for firearms."
