Attacking Armslist

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Thousands of guns are being offered for sale illegally by unlicensed firearms dealers on a single website in the United States, according to a report released on Thursday by Mayors Against Illegal Guns.

The group, founded and largely funded by New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, examined sales on Armslist.com, a major gun-trading website that enables sales in all 50 states, over an eight-week period this year.

Nearly a third of the ads posted were from "high-volume" sellers who lacked the federal license required of individuals who regularly sell firearms.

Has Bloomberg disarmed his body guards yet to set the example?
If not his is a fucking hypocrite and needs to just STFU.
That should be our only dialog to him from here on out...same with Feinswine.

Bloomberg does not do these things for the informed citizen.  He puts out these reports for the low information citizen.  All they will remember is the headline and believe it is true.

It's not that he's at it again, he's not going to stop until one of the thugs in his city shoots him with one of their illegal handguns that his laws don't effect.

And this is the same reason the media runs the story. Low info voter soundbites to remember the name at the ballot box

That Facebook thing is becoming a popular gun selling venue too from what I understand. I guess he will go after that next.

I check armslist several times a day and I do see people with 5 or 6 recent listings and guns that were a good deal reposted for a much higher price. That said I also sell a lot through there because if I want to try something new I have to sell something because I dont have a bunch of money.

Bloomberg has one objective, and its not gun control...............it's control, period..............because he "thinks" he knows what is best for all Americans, and thinks he should have the power to regulate the lives of Americans the way he sees fit. Why people give him an opening is beyond me

What is considered 'high volume'?

Is there a limitation on the number of private sales over a given period of time?  No?

Then FOAD Bloomberg

If they are in violation of the current laws for having a FFL, then why not go arrest them under those laws.  Seems dumb to even bring it up, and thus bring attention to the fact that you are "on to them."

They want to eliminate FTF transactions in all states ( at least the ones remaining where it is still legal to do so).

Of course, they ignore the stuff like the page TERMS OF USE

I am 18 years of age or older.
I understand that ARMSLIST DOES NOT become involved in transactions between parties and does not certify, investigate, or in any way guarantee the legal capacity of any party to transact.
I am responsible for obeying all applicable enforcement mechanisms, including, but not limited to federal, state, municipal, and tribal statutes, rules, regulations, ordinances, and judicial decisions, including compliance with all applicable licensing requirements.
I will not use Armslist.com for any illegal purpose.

And if you click on 'Do Not Agree" it tosses you to Google.

I dont believe there is a physical limit, but ATF can build a case on high volume FTF sales if they can prove you're only buying and reselling for profit. This constitutes that you are "in the business of selling firearms" and must have an FFL in their eyes.







When I worked in an FFL we did have ATF agents come in and cehck on several people would would transfer in multiple's of the same guns that was obvious they were reselling. Guy who transferred in 5 PS90's in the same time comes to mind, mostly because he is in prison now for dealing without a liscense.
