Well it’s come and passed , will you continue to sell firearms ?

[Perplexed]

This new law only applies to firearms dealers. It does not apply to individual gun owners selling their personal collections.

The rule is 500 pages long, and there’s some question about what constitutes a “firearms dealer.” Depending on how you interpret the rule, it could mean anyone selling a firearm for profit. Dettlebach has been asked repeatedly how many such firearms would make a seller a dealer, and he’s dodged the question every time with the answer, “it depends…”

I wouldn’t trust the ATF in this regard. Or any other regard, for that matter.

I have read the entire 460 pages and posted the relevant carve out on here a couple of weeks ago. There is a specific exemption for citizens selling their personal collection. There is no mention of a limit. Nor is there a mention of a “profit” component for private citizen sales. I’d say proceed as a reasonable man would.

This is a gun forum?

Fair enough. But do you trust the ATF to be “reasonable” given their recent history of flip-flopping? I do not, at all.

If they were to ever begin to put something like this into effect, they would start with all the “private collections” at gun shows. That would keep them busy for years.

They don’t have the personnel to do much more than current activity.

Absolutely not, no way, anybody that does should be thrown under the jail. Oh, and what Preacherman said

They don’t need to go after all of them. Just a few, and publicize the prosecutions. That will keep a lot of people guessing who’s attending the shows.

Who here wants to be the volunteer to test this new rule?

People should tell them to pound sand with those unconstitutional "rules". I am a grown man, I follow no one's rules but God. I try to follow laws as best as I can, but if a law is repugnant to the Constitution, it is null and void in my eyes. When an enforcement agency decides that they can just make it up as they go along, they can lick the bottom of my boot as far as I'm concerned.

How do they know what I made or lost on a sale?
