They removed many of todays big ticket items, like gasoline, from the basket they use to calculate inflation. Just to make the numbers less bad.
In an economics class in1983. That the 1983 dollar had the buying power of a 1930 nickel.
Hopefully they aren’t looking for a guy like you. If you were buying/selling/flipping, I’d be saying either become a FFL or get underneath the umbrella of one.
As someone else said: They don’t have a complete picture of what you have and when you got it.

Look at this example and use it to make a mold. Compare this mold to other examples and what our government is DOING TO US!
Bail reform, the border, the criminal justice system, now the government is turning law abiding citizens into criminals. Failing to follow the law, prosecuting the...
You may be correct. My post was in response to a posted comment that he thought his activity (trades or sales) wouldn't rise to the level of ATF scrutiny. Meh, carry on. Not enough agents to police this rule change
You would certainly have a better chance of evading prosecution if all of your...
next time you want to sell below spot. send me a PM.
"Decades of collecting, hunting and shooting". And if you trade or sell and the ATF even has a hint that you are better off than you were; YOU ARE IN VIOLATION.
Remember that any firearm that the ATF thinks might be used for self defense...
Unfortunately, places like ODT will be under HEAVY SCRUTINY!
The key word is presumption. Meaning you can be subject to this rule if you transfer a firearm outside of the FFL process, unless you can provide enough evidence to overwhelm the presumption of guilt under the law.
They have...
It all depends on what county you live in, and how busy the employees are in your courthouse. It could be as little as a week or as much as a couple months.
Bite the bullet, fill out the form at the courthouse, and get your prints done.
It’ll show up in the mail when it gets there.
What do you suppose the ultimate outcome would be if you armed yourself and started shooting ATF agents? At what point do you realize that the ninja’d out black guys have ATF /SWAT/POLICE in 4 inch letters on their uniforms?
When you do realize that the large team with heavy plates is law...

There is risky behavior and the need to keep a qualified attorney on retainer, and the reasonable man test. Are these the actions of a normal, sane and reasonably rational person in the same or similar situation?
I would be happy to discuss 'Ya gotta go to college for that', because I have...
Very good! Feel free to put me back on your ignore list. I spent half my life working in law enforcement and know more than the average bear.
Not going to bother me in the least
Friend, I worked half my life in law enforcement. The standard is VERY CLEAR. The number of people who fall on the wrong side of the law is actually staggering.
The words "fear for my life, or fear for the life of another" needs to be screaming through your skull BEFORE reaching for a gun...
