Are you looking to make a profit?
As noted above, if you are repetitively buying and selling firearms "with the principal objective of livelihood and profit," you must be licensed. Because the key is intent or objective , the courts have made clear that a person can be "engaged in the business" of dealing in firearms without actually making a profit. In determining that intent or objective, courts have looked to prices that an unlicensed seller charges for firearms to determine if the principal objective of the seller is livelihood and profit.
Not making a profit??Sounds like a guberment run agency.If I bought or sold on the internet once the gun arrived at it's destination an FFL the background check occurred.Incremental BS is all this is going to be and defund the DOJ the PUBs have no balls.

I thought most of this was in force already, if you are dealing firearms you need an FFL. This is Zero trying to make it look like he is doing something. Last year our legislature enacted a universal background check law ala Bloomberg. A friend of mine asked me the other day to loan him a rifle for a late elk hunt.I have known this man for over 30 years, I've been with him when he has bought several guns and undergone background checks, I know he is not a criminal. Under the new law if I want to loan him my rifle we have to go to an FFL holder and run a background check on him and pay the dealers fees. Gee I wonder what I should do?
Hope no one kept the little yellow forms on your piece more than the 7 years and sell away.
Because, thanks to this, a lot more people will do just that. Overregulation turns people into folks who don't care what the law says, which is ultimately bad for the rule of law.
It all goes back to the Dutch Tea thing and governments never learn. It is a very bad law.
The irony is, expanded background checks should be doable through congress. Put a repeal of the 1989 import ban, which wouldn't change available types much, and maybe a repeal of the 1986 Hughes Act, into the bill along with the new checks. Everyone wins, and it passes. Though seeing the reaction of the American Gun Industry to those repeals might be interesting!

If I put my gun on consignment at a local gun store and it does not see I have to undergo another background check+fees to get my own gun back.Thanks to Whittaker/Cochran stupid piece of legislation.I have since that time made any sales local in a one to one arena.
