The highly influential Center for American Progress, widely considered the idea factory for the Obama administration, has drawn up a blueprint for presidential executive action on gun control that goes beyond media descriptions of the proposal being weighed by the White House.
Since the mass shooting in Roseburg, Oregon, earlier this month, its been widely reported that President Obama is considering circumventing Congress with executive action to tighten federal law on gun sales.
NBC News quoted administration officials saying Obamas major gun-control proposal would set specific guidelines for who is legally defined as a licensed gun dealer, since all licensed dealers are required to conduct background checks before conducting any sales.
The proposal, NBC News reported, would set quotas on yearly gun sales for individuals to qualify as legally being in the business of selling guns once they sell a certain number and thus become subject to all laws for gun dealers.
The news agency quoted sources revealing the White House is considering setting the quota at 50 or 100 gun sales per year as the threshold to trigger the requirements, although the sources added the administration has not formally settled on a specific number.
The reports of an executive action focus on a federal law that requires anyone engage[d] in the business of dealing in firearms to obtain a federal firearms license from ATF and become a licensed gun dealer.

You can assert whatever you want. It won’t keep you out of Federal Prison.
Dred Scott was overturned by new Amendments.
Kelo and Roe, while horrible, still have force of law.
You’re all arguing what should be. I’m arguing what is.
All that depends on State law where the buyer is a resident.
Some states allow cross state line purchases. Some don’t.
Some use a paper form submitted (physically or electronically) to state authorities for the background check. Some use NICS.
Some have a waiting period, some don’t.
Fish don’t stand still like reams of paper!.........................
I feel very secure knowing it is against federal law. /s
True, but if the ream of paper is at 50 feet, getting the holes in line and properly spaced can cost a wee bit of ammo.
