A new criminal class to be fined and imprisoned. How do i buy a gun as a gift? This is an ideological ruling. More big government, more hoops to jump through. That nagging psychological stress when doing anything: is this legal?

Did you read any details? Gifts are fine. Buying a gun, giving it to someone and then being paid by the receiver for it is still, as always, illegal.

Yes. Define a gift. How long before you can resell the weapon and it becomes an illegal transfer? We give our liberty up to the ever changing interpretation of faceless officials in the DOJ and the courts. We give our freedom up to cops on the beat. We give up our freedoms to the latest mood of the mob.

This is serious felony level stuff left open to interpretation by those who wish to do us harm. So the ATF picks out somebody to test the boundary of what they can prosecute. It might be you.

Isn’t that why they have legal “Transfers”?
