GAO Report: Feds Prosecute 0.01% of ‘Lie and Try’ Attempted Gun Purchases - LisaJarratt - 09-28-2018

Of the 112,090 firearm purchases the federal government denied in fiscal year 2017, the United States Attorney’s Office (USAO) only decided to prosecute 12. While the ATF investigated 12,710 denials, the USAO says that only 12 of them met their criteria for prosecution.

Something tells me they don’t have the manpower to chase them all down, so they go after the “big fish” or ones already on their special list..... which is probably why these “bad” guys usually have someone else make their purchases for them.
