The Biden administration announced Thursday morning that the Department of Justice has finalized a new rule that requires many gun sellers offering firearms at gun shows or online to obtain a license and conduct background checks.
The new rule is set to be enforceable in 30 days.
Current rules require licensed gun dealers to perform criminal background checks on purchasers, but private sales have long been exempted. The new rule intends to require those who sell guns to earn a profit to obtain a license and register.
The White House said that if a person is repetitively selling guns of the same or similar make and model within one year of their purchase, they are supposed to become a licensed dealer. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives would be tasked with enforcing the new rule.
The Biden administration said the rule closes the gun show "loophole."
"If you are conducting business that in a brick-and-mortar store would require you to become a licensed dealer, you have to become a licensed dealer and run background checks," the White House said. "It does not matter whether you are dealing firearms at a gun show, online, in your home, in the trunk of a car, at a flea market, or anywhere else — you must obtain a license and run background checks results. Evidence that a person placed ads online or reserved a table at a gun show shows that the person is intending to profit from the sale."

F’n rats there is no “loophole”
Total horse sh*t! They can’t change the law to make everyone who sells a gun a dealer.
2A bump.
“Rules” can be changed back
Who needs to change the LAWS or AMEND THE CONSTITUTION when you can just arbitrarily roll out a RULE...
Not sure how much more of this bullsh*t I can take.
Not this again…
They can and are... Regardless of rightful authority.
After all, what are we going to do about it? Vote them out? File a lawsuit? Use harsh language?
FYI
It is a waste of time and a lot of BS to penalize legal gun owners. The local gun shows are mostly brick-and-mortar dealers, and at least one, if not all, of the sellers at a particular booth have an FFL—the ones who do not are selling parts, ammo, and an occasional gun.
i.e. private sales...
Harsh Letter!!!
.
Damn the Torpedoes Full Speed AHEAD !
2A supporters who say people Trump shouldn’t be president, because Trump supports red flag laws and isn’t pro gun should be so happy they have biden and the left in office.
Next will be some form of gun sale restrictions that will take years to get to the supreme court, before being overturned....
That is, if the left doesn’t change the supreme court, but then again, roberts might still be on it, so....
I’m going to write a harshly composed letter in CAPS
The article is not very clear on this new rule.
What if you sell the firearm more than a year after purchase?
What if you sell the firearm for what you paid and make no profit?
Most states have mandated private sales (except to certain family members) must go through an FFL.
How long before this gets a ruling against it?
After all, what are we going to do about it?
Remember how Clinton shut down licensed dealers from working out of their homes? Some guy selling a dozen or so guns a year isn’t going to be able to get a license. And the act of reserving a table at a gun show means you are selling firearms as a business.
I’m old enough to remember a time when one didn’t need the Federal government’s permission to either buy or sell firearms.
Uh, what? Fookin’ lyin’ assclowns.
Liars.
Just a bunch of phony vapor
There is no loophole.....AT ALL
You are required to DROS no matter where you purchase or sell and their no FFL stupid enough not DROS over a $25 extra profit.
Besides, these guys real gross profit is in ammo and accessories.
Biden and his far-left walker zombies are walking a fine line. I don’t remember any Americans telling those crack heads up in the swamp that we want them to get rid of the Bill of Rights.
