I didn't say you would be convicted, you might not. That often depends on how deep your pockets are. But years down the road and someone is looking for a scapegoat for the crime....mreed911 wrote:They're not making it illegal to sell a gun person-to-person.

Where the prosecution could come is when the gun you sold gets stolen, then used in a crime and tracked back to you as the buyer but you sold without an ffl and background check.rentz wrote:I think it's a scare tactic I don't see how they could prosecute someone when it's not clearly laid out what in the business of dealing and personal collection selling is all they say is it could be as little as selling 1-2 if there are other circumstances well what are those circumstances
