Dumb Kid Asks Reddit If He Can Sue The Guy Who Ripped Him Off While Trying To Buy A Gun (Very Illegally) Online

Pirate dot London, which might be my new favorite site based on its content — it’s “A blog about the dark web & cybercrime, transhumanism and other geekery” — has my favorite non-dragon story of the week.

Apparently some kid (as in literally, legally a child, though maybe not for long in the eyes of the law) recently tried to have a Saiga-12 automatic shotgun, which is illegal in the United States, imported directly by some sort of arms dealer, in exchange for hologramed piles of bitcoin, or something. But the gun never arrived. He got ripped off! By a guy selling guns illegally online in exchange for sketchy currency! What a world. If we can’t trust our dark web arms dealers who can we trust? So the kid, upset that he couldn’t pump God knows what full of twelve gauge rounds as fast as his little heart desired, took to Reddit to ask if there was anything he could do, legally, to get his money back from his botched arms deal.

The only problem is that the deal is what an attorney, not to mention the federal agents who are probably already filling a van with their coffee farts across the street this kid’s house, would call “illegal as all fuck.”

For one, the Saiga-12 has apparently been illegal in the U.S. since 2014. Check this beast out.

Aside from that, there’s the whole “shipping a gun from (probably) a country we have serious trade restrictions with (Russia) and paying for it with cryptocurrency (Bitcoin)” thing. As the Redditors who replied to this kid’s question pointed out, he’s in ATF territory now.

Oh and the address he gave to have it shipped to was his parents’ house.

This one right here is my personal favorite exchange though.

You can check out the whole thread here, thanks again to Pirate dot London, though most of it is on here already.

If this is real, I can’t help but be massively sketched out by some under-18 kid trying to buy an automatic shotgun under the table. I’m guessing he doesn’t have a lot of Instagram posts showing how much fun he had at the football game afterparty on Friday night. Please put this kid on every watchlist imaginable.

    You can legally own a Saiga-12 in the semi auto, normal barrel form, unless you live in a crazy blue state like Cali and Americans imported a ton before the trade ban so they can be found pretty cheap and legal (you know if you’re not a kid trying to buy it with bitcoin)

      Yeah but you can’t import them. Pretty sure that was the main issue. Also if it was automatic that would be an issue too.

    No way that’s illegal; MSNBC has been informing me for years how all guns are legal and easy to get. This must be Trump’s fault for personally piping guns in from Russia because he is their crony. You laugh, but it’s actually not that far from what liberals actually believe.

    Not sure how this frat…he’s a high school student or some shit. The only 12 gauge this little fuckup will be seeing is the shotgun sized unit some 300 lb inmate is going to place into his mouth hole.

    Actually, the kid could be fine. In the very likely event that the dealer/scammer never shipped the kid a gun and was just lying about it being caught in customs, the feds don’t have a gun and, unless they bother to track this kid down, they won’t get anything else. Sure, given how stupid he is, they probably could ID him, bust his door down and find whatever other illegal weapons he’s illegally bought before, but that’s a lot of hassle for one illegally imported gun.

    I just remembered that he said he already bought another gun from the other seller, which makes the seller sound a lot less scammy. Maybe he really did have the gun shipped from Russia. If so, and it really did get caught in customs, the kid will probably be looking to plead out. Gun with kid’s address + Reddit confessions + kid really does have family in Sweden and has another gun from the same dealer = not a lot of hassle to lock the kid up. Maybe they’ll go easy if he can ID the seller.

    I’m no expert on the ATF, but who doesn’t like an easy win?
