As an interviewer, I get frustrated if the candidate wastes time writing excessively prolix text while missing the meat of the question. This is by no means an excuse for hostile conduct, and the additional context here makes it clear the interviewer is kind of a jerk in addition to being narrow-minded.
Mode Analytics Lands A $550K Seed Round
Mode Analytics, a company that is building an online repository for data science work, announced today that it has secured a $550,000 seed round of funding led by Yammer founder David Sacks. Mode seeks to provide a collaborative platform for data analytics, enabling data scientists to share data, queries, and results.
Online sales such as all the sites you listed are required by Federal law to only ship to a licensed Federal Firearms License holder who in turn may only transfer to customers after a NICS check. So, online sales are as cumbersome as in-store purchases.
Anything with a NICS check or credit card purchase is potentially trackable.
Also, with a gun registry [proposed in various places], sufficiently smart data mining, and fast processing, it may be possible to detect an ammunition purchase [via credit card] in a caliber in which the buyer supposedly doesn't have a registered firearm.
