asset to drug dealers and organized crime after the gun nuts get tired of paying for all that wasted ammo and sell them over the Internet. After all, straw purchases and Internet "back-door" sales are how the NRA's sponsors make a lot of money, and the benefits are a win-win: no taxes for the seller, and no background check for the buyer.

"80 percent of criminal inmates in a Department of Justice survey said they got their guns through private means – no background check necessary."

The demand from criminals and others who can't pass a background check would seem to make profits from the death and injury of Americans the "real purpose" of the manufacture and marketing this very lethal weapon. I am certain that this manufacturer (AKA "arms dealer&quot is fully aware of the very profitable shadow market for their products, as are all gun manufacturers AND the right-wing, Koch Brothers'/ALEC-supported NRA.
