ATF BS

[


Not really, it's his and the BATF's business.

Just like if you want to collect child porn pictures, that's you and the FBI's business.

Or you are collecting different varieties of marijuana, that's going to be yours and the DEA business.

Or you are collecting tail feathers from raptors, that's going the yours and the FWLS service business.

Point being if you are dealing in a regulated commodity, you cannot take yourself off the regulatory radar by claiming it's "none of their business" because it is.
You got the wrong idea out of my response. Some on HERE seem to badmouth the collector for collecting the pistols. I`m saying that what he collects is non of OUR business on here, so don`t badmouth him for collecting Saturday night specials. I`m glad the man informed us of his situation. That may keep someone on here out of trouble.
 
I buy far more guns than I sell, and I think I have only made 2 trades. And I have NEVER sold a gun for more than I paid for it, because I am NOT in the business of firearms dealer. Buy from me and the price will always be for less than I paid for the gun.
 
What if I buy a gun, trade into a more expensive gun by luck, and then sail the more expensive gun for less than its worth, but more than I paid for the original?
 
It's not illegal to sell a gun for more than you paid. It's illegal to be in the business of selling multiple guns for the purpose of making profits. So many people get hung up on the "profit" part, and it completely misses the point...

The guy in the video might claim he just likes to collect and fix up old guns and then sell them... Maybe he does. Maybe that is just the "loophole" he came up with to pretend that buying up cheap guns and selling them at a table at flea markets and gunshows to supplement his income is legit. I don't know the guy, so who can say.

But apparently the ATF saw enough that they questioned his motives and actions...
 
Like the guys that build $500 AR's out of $700 in parts.

I have a $200 12 gauge coach gun that I have $500 in.

I learned this from my Dad.....world's worst business man.

Should have taken after my mother's side of the family.....they made a fortune in military supply contracts in WW I, lost most of it in the depression, but my grandfather still had enough left over to retire at age 44 in the 1930's.

And maybe he does. But what brought him to the attention of BATF is his buying NEW guns from FFLs that could be traced to him. Again, if you are going to walk a tight rope, some one is going to look up and see.

BTW, BATF knew that he had purchased a Lorcin and an Intratec (which he didn't trot out to show the world.) Where did the BATF get that info, if there is no central gun registry?

Maybe he is one of the guys he referred to as buying multiple handguns in week from one FFL, which generates a report to the BATF.
