Depends on the state, one of those pesky "loopholes" the
socialists are intent on closing.
Gee 14 people busted, in five states, over a year, must be
some kind of pandemic huh.
Yeah, NWO statists would like us to believe the Second
Ammendment is a "loophole".
Sounds from the context like ATF was putting this out -- not the state people. If so, ATF's people are using the confusion to put out disinformation, in order to "chill" private owners and sellers.
Of course, if the statement is true as quoted, then private owners can't "sell" to FFL's at a gun show, either.
If this is a local or state law, that is very curious, Nevada being a Western state.
