Has anyone here ever successfully purchased an illegal weapon from a DNM? Because usually the weapons section of these markets is shit. Maybe my expectations are too high because I was expecting things like suicide bomber vests, RPGs, full-auto AK-47s, and other terrorist shit. That and I keep hearing that all or most of the weapons vendors are LE.

CNN: We don't care that you can buy other peoples' identities, stolen financial information, or any drug under the sun in bulk...WE GOTTA FEAR DEM GUNS!


[3 Points] EastOaklandCase_Boys:

I'd imagine that it would be EXTREMELY difficult to buy illegal guns online. With LE, fake listings, and scammers, it's most likely that you'd be arrested or part ways with your money. On the other hand, buying illegal guns IRL on the blackmarket is very very easy..at least for some people. You could purchase a dirty hand gun for a couple hundred dollars, or revolver for as low as 75 dollars. If you're tapped into the right people, you can buy fully automatic assault rifles in California (which are illegal there) for a rack; miltary grade hardware from 1500-2000.

-Tl;DR. They need to quit focusing on the DNMs for illegal online firearm purchases and focus on REAL life illegal firearm purchases.

The liars are setting up the narrative. There is no way gun sales are 3% of the DNM, more like 0.01% - 0.0001%!

If markets are smart they will stop allowing guns. I know TOR and dnm has been in the news since SR1 but it's becoming to prevalent now that it's forcing their hand to do (more aggresively)something.
