I recommend everyone on this thread to print these citations, take them to your local state university law school library and ask the librarian to help you find these cases. (It is free; your state tax dollars at work.)
And then read them, for some on this board do not understand the definition of a "dealer"
See [url=http://www4.law.cornell.edu/uscode/18/921.html]18 USC 921(a)(11)(A)& (21)(C)[/url] also available at the law library, as well as the annotated US Code reference from which these cases are cited.
"Gross" and "Jackson" are THE standards all Federal Courts use to interpret the meaning of a "hobby dealer" and to convict under 18 USC 921, [i]et al.[/i]-- it is a 10 year felony and no more ownership of firearms of any kind:
Defendant's sale of 11 separate weapons within a reasonably short space of time clearly made him a "dealer" under definition of that term. U.S. v. Gross, C.A.7(Ind.) 1971, 451 F.2d 1355

Evidence showing, interalia, multiple sales of firearms conducted regularly at gunshows on a continuing basis, display of numerous long guns and handguns which were not curios or relics, taking of orders for firearms, and making of profit from the sale of such firearms warranted conviction for knowingly engaging in the business of a dealer in firearms without being licensed to do so, despite defendant's contention that he was a collector. U.S. v. Jackson, S.D.Ohio 1972, 352 F.Supp. 672, affirmed 480 F.2d 927.
