Secret Online Weapons Stores

[epic1856]

This just got posted on Gizmodo (Tech Website). A long read, but very interesting. Since I work in IT it explains very well how they "hide" online and how you can pretty much buy anything.

About the online store.

The Armory began as an offshoot of The Silk Road, notable as the Internet's foremost open drug bazaar, where anything from heroin and meth to Vicodin and pot can be picked out and purchased like a criminal Amazon.com. It's virtually impossible to trace, and entirely anonymous. But apparently guns were a little too hot for The Silk Road's admins, who broke the site off from the main narcotics carnival. Now guns, ammo, explosives, and more have their own shadowy home online, far from the piles of Dutch coke and American meth.

So, it would take half a day to set up a sting?

Sounds like more anti-2A crap from Gizmodo.

Completely anti-2A... The author had comments at the bottom of the article about U.S. gun laws being "way too lax"... GTFO!

I agree the article is heavily leaning toward the anti gun, but I never knew sites like this existed and the technology behind how sellers/buyers hide behind is pretty impressive. I guess its just the nerd in me being impressed how technology is used to skirt the law.

Bitcoin is what they're afraid of.

It does not matter what site they use to try to cause panic; Silk Road, The Armory, The Gun Runner, BlackMarket Reloaded, Torgirls Aonymous Escort Service, Warez Forum, Scene-St0re, TCF, hashparty, Форум R2D2, The Pirate Bay, Quality Counterfeits or whatever. Ultimately it is Bitcoin that threatens them.

Be warned. If you are not familiar with TOR network this is not the best time to be learning it. There are a lot of scammer sites including several that mimic Silk Road (some said to be run by DEA) to collect logins and passwords.

Wow! Bitcoin broke $9.20 today (Mt. Gox/USD).

Gee, if it wasn't for that whole going to prison, losing my job, house, stuff and freedom. I'd get an MP5.

There is no way our Federal Gov. can't/doesn't monitor sites like this. If you don't believe me. Order an RPG and see what happens.

Dutch coke?

I was half expecting you to end your post with "ask me how I know".
