I don't know if it's the same guy, but one dude IMs me about buying a gun, but I have a feeling he is just trolling. His username starts with "Glock" and ends in "..ed". He sure wants to buy a lot of things, but has zero feedback.

Mini 14 will only sail with FFL. GLWS

F that. I don't give people money that are trying to infringe on the 2A voluntarily.

Hi. I'm pretty sure you guys are talking about my ad. The reason I'm asking to transfer via FFL comes from past experience. I was selling a Yugo SKS and lined up a buyer on another website. We scheduled a meet-up but he didn't want to share a photocopy of his DL or even just provide me with his name so I could fill it into the bill of sale that I was typing up. He said he'd tell me his name at the meet-up. It sounded suspicious to me so I said let's transfer at an FFL of his choice AND I would pay for the transfer fee. He immediately backed out of the sale.

Moral of the story, there are folks out there who cannot own a gun that are actively trying to buy a gun. Do you really want to be the guy that arms the next mass shooter? Transferring via FFL eliminates all such liability. Yeah, it makes it harder for me to line up a buyer, but it gives me total peace-of-mind. And for those that already have their GA carry license, it's fast and seamless. I've priced my rifle to sell below-market prices (judging from other posts, about $100 below the going rate) to make up for any inconvenience. It's worth it to me to eliminate the risk of victims coming after my assets.

But I respect your difference of opinion. If you are a legal buyer that wants to take a principled stance and avoid any and all sales through FFLs because you believe that infringes on the 2nd Amendment, then I wish you the best of luck.

Really? The last few mass shooters passed background checks from the FFL, bought guns legally, so no. You're absolutely wrong on this point.

Also, I never saw your ad, so I was giving my point as a general rule. I wasn't talking about you specifically.
