Because you are not a FFL holder (I assume) and do not fall under FFL guidelines. Its a bad thing because you don’t want the governemnt (on any level) preventing you from selling YOUR property to who ever you choose to. If you want to sell your tv to someone, do it. You want to sell your toaster to someone... do it. Same goes for a gun, its YOURS, selling it is a private matter. It baffles me that people want government regulating MORE basic freedoms in their lives.
Agree completely. What were these cops even thinking—or were they? Exceeded authority, but this surprises me coming from Texas.
