Read BTAF regs , says private sales are ok as long as not selling for profit. These guys with no license at gun shows with their high prices will be in trouble.
Section 12002 of the BSCA broadened the definition of “engaged in the business” under 18 U.S.C. 921(a)(21)(C) by eliminating the requirement that a person’s “principal objective” of purchasing and reselling firearms must include both “livelihood and profit” and replacing it with a requirement that the person must intend “to predominantly earn a profit.” The BSCA therefore removed the requirement to consider income for “livelihood” when determining that a person is “engaged in the business” of dealing in firearms at wholesale or retail. The definition of “to predominantly earn a profit” now focuses only on whether the intent underlying the sale or disposition of firearms is predominantly one of obtaining pecuniary gain. These regulations implement this statutory change and provide clarity to persons who remain unsure of whether they are engaged in the business as a dealer in firearms with the predominant intent of obtaining pecuniary gain. This rulemaking will result in more persons who are already engaged in the business of dealing in firearms becoming licensed and deter others from engaging in the business of dealing in firearms without a license. As more persons become licensed under this rule, those licensees will conduct more background checks to prevent prohibited persons from purchasing or receiving firearms, consistent with the longstanding requirements of the GCA for persons who are -3- engaged in the business of dealing in firearms. Those additional licensees will also respond to trace requests when those firearms are later found at a crime scene. At the same time, neither the BSCA nor this rule purports to require every private sale of a firearm to be processed through a licensed dealer. Individuals may continue to engage in intrastate private sales without a license, provided that such individuals are not “engaged in the business” and the transactions are otherwise compliant with law. This final rule accomplishes these important public safety goals of the GCA, as amended by the BSCA, in several ways. First, the rule finalizes an amendment to the regulatory definition of “dealer” to clarify that firearms dealing may occur wherever, or through whatever medium, qualifying domestic or international activities are conducted. Second, the rule finalizes an amendment to the regulatory definition of “engaged in the business” to define the terms “purchase” and “sale” as they apply to dealers to include any method of payment or medium of exchange for a firearm, including services or illicit forms of payment (e.g., controlled substances). For further clarity, this final rule defines the term “resale” to mean “selling a firearm, including a stolen firearm, after it was previously sold by the original manufacturer or any other person.” This change aligns the regulatory text with the intent element in 18 U.S.C. 921(a)(21)(C) and makes clear that the term “resale” refers to the sale of a firearm, including a stolen firearm, any time after any prior sale has occurred. Third, because performing services can also be a medium of exchange fo

It isn't an assault rifle
"Assault weapon" is nonsense, and "semi-automatic assault weapon" is just word salad that was fabricated to facilitate AWBs, but "assault rifle" is a legit technical term for a select-fire rifle that fires an intermediate cartridge. It has been since the Germans introduced the StG-44 to the world in 1944.

The vast majority of "assault rifles" in civilian hands are not assault rifles at all, they're just gas-operated semi-automatic rifles, so they shouldn't have "assault" attached to them at all.

Their goal certainly is to regulate all gun sales both commercially as well as privately. From the news reports this sounds like it’s targeting those people running businesses without licenses but we know that’s not their end goal. Hopefully this will be challenged in court quickly and get the brakes slammed.
real problem is - its not just guns - they want to regulate everything - all aspects of life - particularly your vote
they have owned the minority vote for decades but are losing even that out of pure/blind stupidity
democrat cities and states are in self-destruct mode and I'm enjoying the show.

Hence the need for millions of illegal aliens popping out anchor babies to eventually Garner votes for the communist politicians to stay in power and reduce America to another third world country. A couple more generations and it will be completed.
