The investigation did not check those looking to sells guns and was limited to Armslist.com. It could not determine how many, if any, of the prospective felon buyers actually purchased weapons.

I don't think we need more legislation to prevent potential purchases that they admit are already illegal. I'm sure it doesn't surprise anyone that Bloomy and his organization would invade the privacy of people who aren't even accused of doing anything illegal. They're just following the example set by the NSA.
