Silk Road doesn't sell drugs or guns.

If you want weapons in USA you just go in a shop and buy whatever you want...

right now i think we're in a gray zone with the us govt.  I think they are hoping we just go away/self destruct.   if they started cracking down on silkroad/bitcoin users they would validate bitcoin as a viable currency and silk road as an easy way to score drugs and guns . Not to mention all the free press bitcoin and silkroad would get.  now if more ppl start using silkroad/bitcoin  that will probably change.   I definately agree that there are probably feds with accounts on silkroad, mostly to gather information.  I mean i'd love to believe that the united states would be above selling guns to random ppl for information/political gain but em, fast and furious comes to mind. So the probability that there is a seller with good feedback out there making a list of buyers for uncle sam is very high imo.  

Felons and people who don't want paper trails. 


Yep, we got that part right at least.

cocaine is criminalized in USA because slaves stood up for their rights under influence of cocaine, therefore they created the law against cocaine. before it, cocaine was given by doctor as medicament and even widely used by society. when they criminalized it, crowd of people finished in the prison, they became cheap labor for private companies which make contracts with prisons.

so, how can gov destroy btc, tor and silkroad?
they can scare people with blabla in all medias against any anonymous currency which allow to the people anonymous transactions and savings (to avoid taxes).
they don't need to make new law, they can just use present law about transactions, savings and taxes and they can begin to hunt people. the same like in the case of megaupload, one arrested will not stop piracy but others will become afraid and police produce damage in any case, so, they are happy, even they didn't stop all piracy sites. police just act as politicians say them to do, so, some chiefs of cops will get promotion and better paid job. in order to get promotion, someone must finish in the prison. they don't care who and how many.
tor is used by military and its intelligence, I don't think anyone will destroy tor network.
silkroad can be destroyed by FBI hackers, they can attack server where is located silkroad, they can make it very slow or even blocked, they can spam it, troll it, destroy reputation and so on. that's standard tactic of FBI against any political opponent (Black Panthers, Martin Luther King, etc). so, there is nothing new to do, all things are already done in the past against some other enemies of FBI, you just need to read about it and you will recognize their tactics. FBI don't care for the law, when they decide to attack, they will use any tool to destroy what they want to destroy.

Very well said, Holliday.

I concur, violence gets shit/ stuff done.

nope its different servers and everything. 

lmao why would darkmarket let others be admins, what a gay place

If i were selling guns, id dead drop them ahead of time, then when the sale went through, just tell them where the gun is. drugs could work this way as well. Although i can not think of anything similar for people buying stuff.
