I'm sure some of us had heard about what the ATF is doing to redefine the definition of who is a firearms dealer, in an attempt to bring more charges against people who sell guns as an illegal unlicensed dealer. I think everyone should read the proposed new rule and submit a comment against it.
The new definition would presume someone selling a gun, even on gunbroker, to be "engaged in the business" of dealing firearms unless there was evidence otherwise. The new rule explicitly doesn't list a minimum number of sales to be considered an unlicensed dealer and even one sale can allow the ATF to classify someone as an unlicensed dealer. This could potentially be very bad for gun owners who own a lot of guns and buy and sell several a year.
Section II is the actual proposed new rule, and comments can be submitted by clicking on the green Submit A Formal Comment at the top of the webpage.
