The new dealer rule that just ended its comments period in Dec will go a long way to achieving ATF's goal here. If you rent a table at a gun show - you'll have to get an FFL. If you sell more than one gun a month - FFL. Sell a gun in the original box? FFL. Sell more than one gun of the same type - FFL. If you keep track of profit & loss on your guns - FFL. Etc, etc. Rule will likely be published this spring, courtesy of the Safer Communities Act of 2022 - that changed the definition of dealer in the GCA 68.

Progressives sure do pave a highway to hell with their hatred of the Constitution, don't they.

I appreciate everybody in here committing to civil disobedience, but as somebody who moved from a state that respected an individual's right to resell their property w/o state approval, to a state with better overall gun laws that doesn't respect the right of citizens to resell their property...
I am severely disappointed to find that all these supposed mountain libertarians cuck out and toe the line banning personal transfers. Blue state rebels have bigger balls in my experience, your milage may vary etc etc. |

Automatic self fulfilling grandfather clause, and we all know that only pussies push for or are ok with grandfather clauses. @Papaw @Alnen123 The bigger issue, at least in my view, is that many online gun forums, especially the state specific ones which generate most of the face to face sales, will simply stop allowing the posting of sale ads all together. How do you continue to have private face to face sales when no one is willing to host the sale listings? I have no doubt that if the ATF creates a bogus rule against FTF sales, that many gun forums will simply remove their "for sale" sections or heavily modify them towards FFL transfer only. I hope I'm wrong about this. Thoughts? |

The same people who "support closing the gun show loophole" will tell you they think it should be fine to sell your neighbor your old rifle or give your daughter in law a handgun for Christmas.

Quoted: Lol. You haven't followed the Constitutional history of the interstate commerce clause, have you? View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: In state commerce, they can’t. Lol. You haven't followed the Constitutional history of the interstate commerce clause, have you? US v Lopez "To uphold the Government's contentions here, we would have to pile inference upon inference in a manner that would bid fair to convert congressional authority under the Commerce Clause to a general police power of the sort retained by the States. Admittedly, some of our prior cases have taken long steps down that road, giving great deference to congressional action. See supra, at 8. The broad language in these opinions has suggested the possibility of additional expansion, but we decline here to proceed any further. To do so would require us to conclude that the Constitution's enumeration of powers does not presuppose something not enumerated, cf. Gibbons v. Ogden, supra, at 195, and that there never will be a distinction between what is truly national and what is truly local, cf. Jones & Laughlin Steel, supra, at 30. This we are unwilling to do." |

Instead of banning private sales, they should just open up a transfer portal where people can perform a person to person transfer with a quick background check to ensure you aren’t doing a private transfer to a felon.

So dickless Joe Biden wants to ban private sales, i bet the Trump haters are upset all they want to talk about is how terrible Trump was for 2A.

The Batfe is a rogue outfit. It needs to be disbanded and leadership should be tried for subverting the Constitution.
You know, like the J6 protesters were. |
|
Legal or not that's what's going to happen.
The administrators will simply write it anyways, enforce it, while the Constitution challenges go on. Then when overturned they write the same regulation with a different word or two and start enforcing them forcing the taxpayers to spend millions to fight the government once again. |
|
All they really have to do is go after websites where the advertising of private sales occurs. I'm betting on that angle, claiming they're dealing without a license and try to threaten as many as they can out of the game.

What if they somehow tie your current ownership to a tax form declaration. Say list serial number, make and model and pay a modest federal tax.
Maybe that's why they need 30k IRS guys. |

View Quote Why wouldn't it be? If nothing else it's a make-work project for all their employees to just endlessly throw shit at the wall until it either sticks or piles up on the floor high enough to cover it anyway. Every part of the process for them is paid for by someone else's taxes anyway, so all they really have to do is look busy and important and they're all set for life. |

They have to draft off the wall reports to show that they are necessary to the system. If they just sat back and did their day to day operations (IE their actual job) the budget and the numbers of employees could probably be cut by a MASSIVE amount. This happens every day at companies all over the world on some scale. This is the same reason some small towns have 0-2 law enforcement and others have a dozen they do stupid shit like shoot radar for 8hrs on a road that might see 20 cars a day. There isn't more crime. They have created a fabricated need and have to justify it.

They’d need every recorded/ documented sale prior to today….
