Mayors Against Illegal Guns on Thursday announced results of an investigation into online gun sales in 14 states, and found 4 of 6 web retailers in Wisconsin were willing to sell to undercover buyers who said they couldn't pass a background check.
"These four sellers were offering both handguns and assault weapons, with asking prices that ranged from $400 to $800 per gun," the organization reported. "According to their internet posts, the sellers were located in Cedar Creek, Kenosha, Madison and Milwaukee."
Other states fared worse.
