Who else here loses money EVERY time they sell a firearm?

[Big Belly J]

I mostly just buy what I'm interested in. Seldom sell. Don't really keep a balance sheet on my guns, but sometimes have a recall on the amount.
Even if I sold an AK I bought at $750 say 10 years ago for $850, I'd still be losing money due to inflation.

Stolen...

Never volunteer information.

The response from me most likely is:

"Am I in trouble?"
"Do I need a lawyer?"
Followed by "Lawyer"

A lot of people self incriminate doing the prosecutions job for them.

Don't lie..cause that in itself is it's own can of worms.
Any answers you give should be concise or short as possible.

The police can lie to you and I will tell you for a fact if your sitting in that chair they are not your friends, they are not your buddies even if they act like it.

Nobody buys anything on the odt. They just trade the siding off their single wide trailers for Hi Points. This is common knowledge.

Profit??...... how? Well, probably. Let's say Academy is selling the Glock 19x for $599 and I garner the F---ing nerve to sell that BNIB Glock 19x here for $600, I would indeed profit $1.00. Could happen.

With the ATF crackdown on unlicensed dealers I wouldn't dare sell a firearm for a profit ever.

Just my 2 cents on the matter.

Nope.

Even if you follow their quota "rules", the worst they can do is confiscate everything you have, hold you indefinitely in a cell, bankrupt you with legal fees, still not return your property after acquittal, having ruined your life, otherwise.
Easy peezy.

What is the providence of having belong to me worth? I value myself highly. No profit made, you just paid more for having the honor of meeting me. Something you can share with your grandchildren.
