This report goes inside the gun stores to reveal the ways that licensed gun dealers enable gun traffickers to acquire guns for the illegal market through large-volume sales of handguns, sales to the same buyer over and over, sales to straw purchasers, repeated sales of the same model gun, and sales to traffickers at gun shows.

All of these mechanisms have clear red-flags for the gun dealer, yet the dealers completed the sales anyway. While the gunrunners in each case were prosecuted, the dealers remain open for business.
