      Scam. However, now is a GREAT time for these scammers to peddle their performance, as so many new guns owners come into the mix, or so many want-to-be gun owners looking to buy a firearm and not familiar with the law, PPT process, or how to buy a firearm online are easy marks to fall for it - (due to the desperation created by the contemporary events and shortage of inventory).

      These scams will surely see a better success rate than they have in the past. Most any gun enthusiast has known of Armslist scammers and that style of scam for a long while now, more than 15 years at least, but with so many of the Leftists for so many years bleating that it's easy to buy a gun of the internet because of a supposed "loophole" - plenty will get suckered out of their money.

      Just wait for an increase in reports of that coming in the next few months here on Calguns. That O/P is even asking at all is a sign that some 50% may assume the other way and fall for it.

      If some level of government had that information, what would they do with it? How would having that info benefit public safety? How would it benefit law enforcement?

        No sympathy to the anti gunners that decided to use the internet loophole to buy a gun, just to find out it doesnt exist and now they're out money.

        If they come in here and ask, then by all means I'm happy to educate and help change their preconceived stance.

          Agree; and how funny is it that their lies would come back to haunt them?

            Fifth time inquiring about an Armslist item. First two went okay, second two were non responsive, and then this scam one. I've done probably eight PPT purchases through Calguns the last couple years, always face to face, and good people too. I appreciate the community and all the good information that I get from this site.
