Full title: Obama's Executive Gun Control: No Minimum Threshold Before Private Gun Sales Require Background Checks
On January 4, the White House released a fact sheet which previews the executive gun control Obama will announce Tuesday, and it reveals there is no numerical threshold of sales that a private seller has to cross before being considered "engaged in the business of dealing in firearms."
In other words, previous hints that there would be a "trigger"--a certain number of guns that a private seller had to sell before being considered "engaged in the business"--are now out the window.
Figures like those reported by NBC News, wherein they quoted sources saying, "the administration has considered 50 or 100 guns a year as the threshold to trigger these requirements," have been discarded. A more fluid system--whereby any private seller can be considered "engaged in the business of dealing in firearms" regardless of the number of guns he sells or the frequency by which he sells them--seems to be what Obama has in mind.
And the language of the executive gun control shows that private sellers who occasionally advertise online or sell at gun shows can certainly be considered "engaged in the business" and, therefore, required to get an Federal Firearms License (FFL) and go through background checks each time they sell a gun.

Looks like the best way to get guns now is to inherit them, and that without a will!
So, in other words, they want no private sales at all. . . at least not among law abiding folks. Criminals will still steal guns or use straw purchases and sell guns to whoever has the cash or drugs to trade for them.
Just ignore it. soetoro ignores the laws he doesn’t like and this isn’t law.
this ain't gonna make it.
Make Bammy show the math on how this is an improvement.
If this concerns what would have been considered private sales between non-FFL holders would it also come into play with a private person selling TO an FFL holder? In other words, if I want to sell a firearm to a licensed dealer because I no longer want that gun do I need to get an FFL just to do that?
What a mess!
“Make Bammy show the math on how this is an improvement.”
As if he were really interested in making things better!
Unenforceable laws are unenforceable. 200 extra ATF agents can’t do jack squat with the thousands and thousands of FTF transactions that will still go on.
Barry is doing this for his legacy but its going to be huge egg on his face for him and the DemoRATS.
Cruz will trash this EO on day 1.
I’m sure the ATF is salivating about conducting stings.
Obama making up his own Law again
The details are way worse
The requirement to get the FFL is arbitary and will take months,the fee also is excessive
Another words,the immediate stoppin of gun sales
No doubt.
I remember when GW refused to veto the CFR bill.....campaign finance reform.... He said it would be struck down by the USSC. Guess what? He did’t veto it, it was ruled lawful, we are now stuck with regulations making it harder for grassroots to engage in politics...... think Lois Lerner and 501c3 regs and political gamesmanship....Yeah, I trust the GOP.....NOT.
Non-compliance will rule the day.
Executive orders apply to executive agencies-not private citizens. This will be ignored by all. FUBO.
On a and Anderson Copoper bad-mouthing Gus this Thursday.
I’ll bet they”e swapping spit ten minutes in.
Hey my Coworker just gave me 3500$ as a gift. Felt guilty as I’d not considered that friend as such a good friend. Gave them a used LaRue 7.62 PredatOBR rifle as a gift a few days later. All about respect, friendship etc..... ahhh Merica !
FUBO !
Didn’t Trump says he is going to nullify his executive orders?
Once again the punk has used The Constitution as his personal urinal.
Good thing the GOP controls both houses of congress.
Spit.
And once again, the Republican controlled Congress will allow him to do so.
