Can a collector buy > 100 guns at once?

[Los]

I was wondering at what point MSP rejects the purchase of large volumes of, say, ARs? If you have north of 100 lowers going through the background check at once, along with a mixture of other guns, is that on its own going to cause a rejection?

This is of course a hypothetical question, but one I'm wondering about.

YES!

There called Federal Firearm Licensed 01 Dealers.

But in all seriousness, I brought this up once before in another thread.

With all the panic buying, I was wondering if the MSP has started building a "special" file for people who are buying lots and lots and lots of firearms.

Just because it's legal, it doesn't mean the MSP won't frown upon it and possibly check into those people a little more deeply.

So far I've done six at time, now I'm waiting on the paperwork for the 18 or so I'm doing at once,will see how it goes,since end of may I've had papers come back on about 15 total and haven't heard anything.

Um, sorry for being a bit dense here. If you're not a dealer, is it or is it not a problem? I'm wondering if there's some limit above which you automatically count as a dealer or some other law kicks in.

Thanks and sorry for not getting your point. I'm pretty sure you're saying it's not a problem, but you might get checked into a little deeper. Just checking...

I'm going to guess that the ATF is going to question whether you are conducting bidness...

YES!

That's where I was going with it.

The MSP or ATF may pay you a visit to see if you still have all 100 of the toys you bought.

If you only had 80 of your toys, they may think you are in "Da Binis" without a license.

Conducting "Binis" without an FFL is most definately frowned upon.

Not frowned upon at all. It actually gets you an award that comes with a free pair of interconnected bracelets and a multi-year vacation to a place with free room and board. Might even get your name in the Boomberg news.

Don't forget the best meals ever! And a very secure room!

I heard they had a PGA Tour level golf course at this magical place called Club Fed!

You can purchase as many as you like.

You are the one being checked in the NICS or MD background check.

The dealer has to just say multiple.

With that said, the dealer has extra paperwork for multiple sales when they signoff the 4473

And I heard the Female Prison Guards put out.

And quite often it appears.

You're thinking of the Balmer jail.

You guys are too funny. My wife thinks I'm nuts, laughing at the computer.

Yellowsled does it all the time...

As it stands right now, your wife's name isn't Bubba and your name isn't Bitch.

I would give up on your, what was it you called it? Oh yea! "Hypothetical" gun buying scheme.

If the OP has the means, why so skeptical?

Have you bought 10-20 guns at a time? I have and it's nothing to be concerned about.

If the OP is a designated collecter, it makes financial sense to give the MSP $10 for processing a batch of 100 stripped lowers, than paying $10 fee for each lower ($1000)

Not to mention the transfer fees: my local gun shop will transfer unlimited lowers at once for a flat $75. Combined with the $10, that almost cuts the cost in half.

 

[mudskipper]

I did 10 lowers at once a couple years ago, and there were no issues whatsoever. No phone calls, no delay other than paperwork, no extra attention. I'm a SDC, but that's all.

 

[rob-cubed]

Why, are you planning to arm your neighborhood for the zombie apocalypse? Granted it's a theoretical question. If I had more money I'd be investing in rare and unusual firearms, and not quantity.

It's not illegal at the federal, nor at the local level as long as you are a designated collector. You'd probably end up on an "extra scrutiny" list for approval but in the end they can't prevent you from purchasing if there is nothing in your background to deny it. Don't be surprised if you end up on a watch list though. Dump a lot of them a year later and you may get a visit for not having a dealer's license, which is about all they can throw at you as long as nothing illegal is going on.
