You really don't get it?

He doesn't care about ATF and any number and ATFs likely loss of power (short term) or panty fluttering.

One: forcing more people to get FFLs will result in not much over the long term. ATF can write regs that say you have to have a commercial storefront (no kitchen-table FFL), or must follow all state and local business regulations then have Bloomie et al press states and cities to change zoning, insurance requirements, even something like number of parking spots. Oh, and more ATF examiners to examine. Things that sound like bullshit until you have to pay for them, or have bars on your home's windows, or commercial insurance becomes too expensive, or your neighbors no longer want four government cars parked on their street for your multi-day twice yearly inspection.

Two: of course, none of that is the endgame. The endgame is the opposite of all you thinking that the number 50 makes it all OK. He, or his successor socialist-in-chief, will argue that without all transfers going through a central clearinghouse there is no way to know who among us should be required to get that nifty license.

It won't be that blunt or immediate, but come on, this isn't rocket surgery.

Don't ask what's in it for us; ask what's in it for him.

If they use the 50 number it sounds more reasonable than the ATF has been.


yup might be doing us a favor.. most times they will bust at 25.

Wouldn't it be kind of silly to sell that many guns a year and not have an FFL?

I don't really see the plus side to selling that many guns and not having a license.


Not that I agree with the 0 or anything, I'm just wondering.
 



Why would that be silly?  I have a large-ish collection and I am getting somewhat burned out on it.  I might want to liquidate quite a few guns in the near future to fund other hobbies.  Why should I not be able to do this?


Selling 50 guns is FFL territory


Leave it to Hammermill to not comprehend how a person could amass a several hundred gun collection over 15 years, fall on hard times or become ill and need to sell 50+ guns in a single year. FFL is for profit business, meaning recurring sales and profit motivation, an arbitrary number of guns sold in a year is meaningless. At least you get an atta boy for actually commenting on a thread instead of spamming GD.

Absolutely. Until the prewritten 'study' comes out proving that a dealer selling 49 guns a year is 42 times more dangerous than one selling 25 guns a year.

I seriously doubt there are many people selling 4-5 guns every single month without an FFL. That's like a gun a week. As of today (no changes), the ATF will be up your ass if they catch wind of your Pinnochio ass doing that, while claiming it's not a business.

Neva been dun befo.

It might be better than that. The ATF being forced to say you sell xx guns a year and you need an FFL is something they have resisted doing for decades. They don't want a set number for good reason and that reason is so they could charge whoever they wanted with violating the law. Now they will have to prove you sold a certain number, a number everyone will know and be able to follow the law. A number that if they set too low can be challenged in court.

Obama might just hand us a gift thinking he is hurting us.

Another news article I read on this issue stated that Obama might go with an even higher number of no FFL required sales, setting it at 100 per year. Either number would be a net win for gun owners, since currently the BATF can pull out any number they want and say you are a dealer.

I honestly do not think Obama has a clue. He clearly wants to hurt gun owners, but his utter ignorance works against him.

If you sell 50 guns a year you must get an FFL.

No FFL's will be issued to they type of people that sell ~50 guns a year.

- Then -

If you sell 20 guns a year.....
If you sell 10....
In order to sell guns (1 gun).......

What a complete crock of shit.

Not that I agree with the law (I don't think a federal license to sell firearms should even exist to begin with), but i'm having a hard time seeing how selling a gun a week is anything other than a small business. Calling it a hobby at that point kind of seems to stretch the limits of credulity, doesn't it?

Don't be ridiculous. The real question is whether or not you are making a living by selling guns for profit.  If someone has the money to buy a gun, try it out, then sell it for a loss the next week...every week for a year... they are not a dealer, not making a living at selling guns for profit, and shouldn't need an FFL just to sell their property as long as they are following the law otherwise.  How you can possibly say that an arbitrary # of guns sold in a year makes someone a dealer or means that they are not taking part in a hobby is beyond me unless you are incredibly unimaginative.

Why?  If I have spent years amassing a large collection that just doesn't do it for me anymore and I want to liquidate all or part of it how is that "being in the business of selling guns"?  I am not ordering in guns and turning around and selling them, these were not purchased with the intent to sell for profit (and most would probably be at a loss with today's prices).  They have been owned, modified as I see fit and used by me for YEARS and now if I want to shift gears a bit and do something else I am "Dealing" guns?  Nonsense.  Selling off your own personal collection is NOT being a gun dealer.  You draw an arbitrary line at a gun a week but what about one every two weeks, one a month, one a quarter?  Depending on the size of ones collection it could take years to sell off at that point.  To me being a dealer means you are buying in guns specifically to re-sell (difficult to prove intent I know but that is not my problem) and you are making a living or a significant portion of your living thru the sale of guns.  Neither of these would be true in my case if I were to sell off part or all of my collection so why should the time frame in which I sell them be relevant?


ETA:  Also consider this.  If I were to sell off my collection and just to avoid the appearance of dealing without a license I went to the ATF to get a FFL are they going to give me one?  My understanding is that no they would not as I do not have a store front or other physical location to "deal" from so according to them I don't meet the definition of a "dealer".  But then if I sell too many guns in a given time (whatever arbitrary number that may be) I could be at risk for "dealing without a license"?  A license that they would not give me were I to seek one?

Selling off all or part of a collection is specifically exempted in the law and Obama can't change that by directing the ATF to make a regulation.


(C)   as applied to a dealer in firearms, as defined in section 921(a)(11)(A), a person who devotes time, attention, and labor to dealing in firearms as a regular course of trade or business with the principal objective of livelihood and profit through the repetitive purchase and resale of firearms, but such term shall not include a person who makes occasional sales, exchanges, or purchases of firearms for the enhancement of a personal collection or for a hobby, or who sells all or part of his personal collection of firearms;

I've seen plenty of guys who bought and sold guns constantly.  Most of them did it at a loss.   When I worked at a range we had one guy who came in every  week and generally bought 1 - 3 guns.    It depends on how they're selling 1 gun a week. Is it whatever is profitable, or whatever caught their eye that they decided they didn't need anymore.    Is it someone who buys a lot of guns, but they have an agreement w/ their wife where they can't have more than XX guns, so they sell one for every one they buy.
