I agree with the highlighted text. I do NOT have a problem with someone occasionally selling a firearm from their private collection face-to-face. I do have a problem with those who are "selling from their collection" at a gun show, but its two, three, four firearms and they doing it again and again, and are turning a profit at it...but aren't having to abide by the same rules the actual FFLs are abiding by. So, I'd say this is what I really meant by me stating I'd be okay with "closing the gunshow loophole". Thank you, Salty1, for stating it well.Salty1 wrote:I still feel that the actual solution is to enforce the laws that are currently in place. If people are renting tables at guns shows and buying and selling firearms for a profit then they are a dealer, plain and simple. If they choose not to get an FFL then by all means prosecute them and let a jury decide if they are a dealer for profit and breaking any laws.
There are many people engaged in the firearms business who do not have an FFL, is that fair to those who follow the laws and get an FFL and pays the appropriate taxes on their sales? I am on record being against private sale background checks, I am also on the record to go after anybody who continually buys and sells firearms for profits, force them to play by the same rules as the FFL's have to.....

Re: Senators seek back room deal on firearm background check
This is what I've been saying. They go outrageously big to start with so that the things they really want don't seem that bad. The most important thing for us to prevent is any registration schemes or ammo bans.texanjoker wrote:Typical politicians. That is why they are throwing so much garbage out there.
