New ATF rule for one gun sale you need an FFL?

[GAgunLAWbooklet]

Would ONE gun sale ever get you classified as a dealer? Even if you told everybody for years that you hated that specific type of gun and never wanted to own one .... but then you see one on sale at AcademySports for half of the normal value, and you tell all your friends on the Internet
"I'm going to buy that gun today and flip it tomorrow and make 100% profit" and that's exactly what you do.

Unless you do this multiple times to form a pattern of behavior would it be covered by the new ATF rules?

Rules are not law

Fair market value has to be considered…if it was worth 100 bucks 20 years ago when I bought it, and it’s worth 500 bucks now, and would cost me 500 to replace it, is selling for replacement cost really a profit?

According to the ODT Price Militant, yes. This "rule" would not apply to old cars, housing, silver, gold or stocks owned by the members and clergy of the Church Of The Penurious Brotherhood of Gun Collectors.

They can't say you're making a profit if you only buy and never sell.

Some excerpts, if it'll help:

"At the same time, the Department recognizes that certain transactions are not likely to be sufficient to support a presumption that a person is engaging in the business of dealing in firearms. For this reason, the proposed rule also includes examples of when a person is not presumed to be engaged in the business of dealing in firearms. Specifically, under this proposed rule, a person would not be presumed to be engaged in the business requiring a license as a dealer when the person transfers firearms only as bona fide gifts, or occasionally sells firearms only to obtain more valuable, desirable, or useful firearms for their personal collection or hobby, unless their conduct also demonstrates a predominant intent to earn a profit."

"Specifically, this rule proposes to define “personal collection,” “personal collection of firearms,” and “personal firearms collection” as “personal firearms that a person accumulates for study, comparison, exhibition, or for a hobby (e.g., noncommercial, recreational activities for personal enjoyment such as hunting, or skeet, target, or competition shooting).” . . . The phrase “or for a hobby” was adopted from 18 U.S.C. 921(a)(21)(C), which excludes from the definition of “engaged in the business” firearms acquired “for” a hobby."

I'm too busy to worry about this.

I'm still looking for all of the mattress and pillow tags I've torn off over the last 20 years.
