It's a bit interesting to see a dark market self regulate itself in regards to weapon sales.
That said the sentiment is certainly there in the wake of another attack on Paris unfortunately I assume the trade just moves elsewhere.

People who want to buy a weapon to harm people can do it easily on the streets. It doesn't take more than a few hours to purchase a weapon depending on where you live. But it is definitely a good step forward seeing even the dark markets stepping up and take this decision to not allow people to sell weapons.

Is there much call for dark markets sales from terrorists? I would've thought they'd prefer to use the same old channels through Eastern Europe. After the present strife dark markets will be even more heaving with law enforcement than before.
