We discussed the new BATFE helpful guidelines for Closing the “Gun Show Loophole”. They listed nine, but the seem to have forgotten a few, this audio clips helps explain that.
BATFE Helpful guidelines for who needs an FFL
Here (verbatim) are the nine examples offered as specific guidance by ATF:
— Bob inherits a collection of firearms from his grandfather. He would rather have cash than the firearms, so he posts them all online for sale. He makes no purchases, but over the course of the next year he sells all of the firearms he inherited in a series of different transactions. Bob does not need a license because he is liquidating a personal collection.
— Joe recently lost his job, and to finance his living expenses he has been buying firearms from friends and reselling them though an internet site. He has successfully sold a few firearms this way, and has several more listed for sale at any one time. Joe must be licensed because he is repetitively buying and selling firearms with the primary objective of profit.
— Sharon travels to flea markets the first Saturday of every month, buying undervalued goods, including firearms. The last Saturday of every month Sharon rents a booth at the flea market and sells her items at market value for a profit. She hopes to make enough money from these sales to finance a trip to Italy next year. Sharon must get a license because she is repetitively buying and selling firearms with the primary objective of profit.
— David enjoys hunting and has a large variety of hunting rifles. He likes to have the newest models with the most current features. To pay for his new rifles, a few times a year David sells his older weapons to fellow hunters for a profit. David does not need to be licensed because he is engaging in occasional sales for enhancement of his personal collection.
— Lynn regularly travels to gun shows around her state, rents space, and sells firearms under a banner stating “liquidating personal collection.” Most of the firearms Lynn offers for sale she purchased from a licensed dealer in the prior weeks. Lynn is retired and hopes to supplement her income with the money she makes on the sales, although she has yet to turn a profit. Lynn must get a license because she is repetitively buying and selling firearms with a primary objective of profit.
— Scott has been collecting high-end firearms for years. In the six months before his son is about to enter college, Scott sells most of his collection in a series of transactions at gun shows, on the Internet, and to family and friends to provide funds to pay his son’s college expenses. Scott does not have to be licensed, because he is liquidating part of a personal collection.
— Debby has three handguns at home, and decides that she no longer wants two of them. She posts an advertisement in the local newspaper and sells the two handguns to a local collector. Debby does not need a license because she is not engaging in the repetitive purchase and resale of firearms as a regular course of trade or business.
— Jessica enjoys shooting sports and frequently goes to shooting ranges and hunting clubs. To make some extra money, she buys firearms from a dealer who is willing to give her a discount, and resells them for a profit to acquaintances from the shooting ranges and hunting clubs. She has done this a few times a month for the last several months, and has been spreading the word that she has a source for other firearms. She passes out business cards with her name, phone number and email. Jessica must get a license because she is repetitively buying and selling of firearms with the primary objective of profit.
— Doug regularly attends gun shows and rents a table to display firearms for sale. He gets firearms from a variety of sources, carefully logs each purchase into a book, and uses the purchase price to set a sales price that will realize him a net profit. Doug accepts credit card payments and typically sells multiple firearms at each of the gun shows he attends each year. He makes a substantial amount of money annually, and uses this money to live on. Doug must be licensed because he is repetitively buying and selling firearms with the primary objective of profit.
Ones the BATFE Forgot!!!
–Deshaun lives in Chicago where they make it almost impossible for a gun store to operate legally, because he only deals in stolen guns he cannot obtain a license, and besides the local Politicians need a high body count so they can continue to push for more gun control.
–Manuel is supplying guns to the local MS-13 gang, he trades only for drugs and cash and does not accept credit cards. Manuel does not need a license because he is an illegal alien (previously deported 3 times) and now lives in a Sanctuary city run by Democrats.
— Mohamed Abdullah and Aknod Faisal obtained their guns through an ISIS contact for the purpose of Jihad. ISIS does not need a license because everybody knows Islam is the religion of peace and not associated with terrorism in any way.
