The Armory - Weapon Marketplace

Guns are for pussy retards.

You poor sap, grow up, grow a pair, and learn how to be civil.

Funny, I've heard the same thing from criminals, who want all their victims disarmed and defenseless.

Heh, just took a look at what is offered over there at the armory. Not a whole lot for sale right now. And the prices are (at least to me) outrageous.

Maybe I should put a couple hunderd $ into a gun and sell it for 700 BTC, sounds like a good way to make a crapload of money!

[AndrewBUD]

I checked it out once... prices did not seem all that rediculous to me.... But I don't buy guns so what do I know..... I'll sick a local cum dumpster on ya before I shoot ya.....

[bitpop]

There's a lot of cum dumpsters lately

You're paying a premium for an off-the-books firearm.  Sure you can shop around for the best price on, say, a Glock 19 and walk into the gun store and buy one.  But you have to go through the background check, waiting period, etc. so your name and address are in the system now.

[bitpop]

Exactly now can someone list one of these?

That is so cute...



Don;t fuck with me or i'll blow your fingernail off

[bitpop]

That thing is actually more lethal than a bigger gun. The tiny bullet will enter you and bounce around making little holes. The ER will have hard time stopping the bleeding and you will die. That thing is scary.

It used to be that in many US states you could buy privately owned firearms without any paperwork. I remember acquiring a Glock 19 from a (non-FFL) guy who advertised in the local Penny Saver. Went to his house, paid him cash, I didn't ask for a receipt and and he didn't ask for ID. So I got an off-the-books firearm by accident. That was many years ago in the mid-west.

Is this still possible today? I wouldn't know as I now live in NYC where you can't even touch a handgun without a permit and you can own at most 2 registered handguns. Looking up the regional gun laws on the NRA-ILA web site it seems like it is still possible. However I would imagine that today most private sellers would always ask the buyer for ID.

one thing that bugs me about bitcoin is things like this....

anarchy and liberty are two different things

Liberty is a more general term while anarchy, in its original and more accurate usages ( e.g. it does not really mean some kind of violent chaotic social disorder ),
is more specific, i.e. "freedom from state coercion".  

So you no doubt would feel that states/governments have the right to limit the ability of its citizens to purchase weapons?
An anarchist may ask if you truly have something like liberty and freedom if states determine for you what you can and
cannot own... while giving themselves the right to own and use weapons and violence as they pretty much please in the
maintenance of their own power and control.

Having a government keep tabs on who owns what guns helps solve crime? maybe...
16 year olds should not be allowed own a fully automatic guns? maybe...

Its not like it was impossible to buy unregistered guns b4 bitcoin, so i guess this doesn't really make a difference.

but still, common... "drugs, guns, and gambling for anyone and everyone!" is this our new slogan?

Do you want to define the privileged class who gets to defend themselves and enjoy themselves? Or maybe we can just let some special folks do that for us too?

i want peace and love... short of that, i want guns to be sold to responsible people  

That is way government people should not own guns.

Closing the Armory
« on: August 02, 2012, 10:28 PM »

As most of you have figured out, we are closing the armory.  Your first question is probably "why?".  Well, it just wasn't getting used enough.  Spinning it off originally was done somewhat abruptly and while we supported it, it was a kind of "sink or swim" experiment.  The volume hasn't even been enough to cover server costs and is actually waning at this point.  I had high hopes for it, but if we are going to serve an anonymous weapons market, I think it will require more careful thought an planning.

The next question is probably "can we now sell guns on Silk Road?".  The answer there is most definitely NO.  If we do support weapons sales once more, it will be on a separate site.

As the banner on the site says, finish up your business there and withdraw your coins before the end of the countdown.  If you recently bought a seller account and haven't made enough sales to at least break even on it, contact us on the armory and we'll get you a refund.

I was checking their forums now and again to stay up to date on what's going on and how it's progressing and from my very limited impression I don't believe there ever were any legitimate trades made and the ads were just mostly scammers trying to score.

damn it

Why?  The Armory wasn't shut down due to some noble anti-gun sentiment.  It's simply a failed business model.

[Grix]

Drugs are one thing, but sending illegal firearms in the mail is a whole other league of risky. I don't think the Armory will be missed that much.

[BrannigansLaw]

Good riddance! That is all

[Slushpuppy]

Good thing none of this shit matters now that you can use a cheap 3d printer to make your own gun

[mc_lovin]

it was probably one of the riskiest business models ever.  probably for the better that it's gone.

I think you're right... Abusing your body with wonderful mind altering drugs is one thing.
