The ATF is not concerned with how much you sold your gun collection for. Again, they are concerned with those who are buying guns with the intent to sell at a profit.So where is this real world and accurate "listed value" of every firearm the ATF will use to determine if you made a profit on any of your collection from over the decades. Do the values account for inflation, rarity, comparable values if the money was invested? Are we comparing apples to apples? This is getting fuzzy really fast.
It doesn't help when every youtube talking head lies to their viewers, uses scare tactics and pure BS to scare the public just to keep viewers and stay monetized. Most people have nothing to fear from this new law. Those that need to worry already know they are breaking the law. People buying and selling guns on a regular basis (flipping) are the ones this new rule is going after. Not your every day law abiding gun collector or hobbyist. The internet can be very useful but it is also great for spreading fear and panic, paranoia where it is not at all helpful.Thank you, guys...
My eye got hit by a baseball, so it's not going to get better, unfortunately. Luckily, I have good insurance to keep things under control for now.
It really sucks because I really enjoyed collecting over the years, but ATF is getting nonsensical these days, enough to scare law-abiding collectors.
