[QUOTE="Buzzgun, post: 2061678, member: 4715"] Unlike JB, you left out the word "regularly", so I fixed it for you. If you look at my first post in the thread, I included the legal definition of a dealer. That definition specifically includes the word regularly. Words have meaning, especially in a legal definition. A person that buys and sells guns [B]occasionally,[/B] even if they make a profit, are not, by definition, dealers. A person that [B]regularly[/B]buys and sells guns for a profit, are, by definition, dealers. Anybody that frequents gunshows is aware of the difference. If you regularly see the same people with the "private collection" or "no papers" signs on their tables, and their inventory changes at every show, you can be certain that they are dealing without a license, which is illegal. If I occasionally buy a gun collection with the intention of selling some of the guns at a profit so that I have little or no money in the ones I keep, or, if I intend to sell them all at a profit, I am not, by definition, dealing without a license. If I do the same on a regular basis, I am. There is a difference, and, unfortunately, some people just can't seem to understand that difference. [/QUOTE]
