The Biden administration announced Thursday morning that the Department of Justice has finalized a new rule that requires many gun sellers offering firearms at gun shows or online to obtain a license and conduct background checks.
The new rule is set to be enforceable in 30 days.
Current rules require licensed gun dealers to perform criminal background checks on purchasers, but private sales have long been exempted. The new rule intends to require those who sell guns to earn a profit to obtain a license and register.
The White House said that if a person is repetitively selling guns of the same or similar make and model within one year of their purchase, they are supposed to become a licensed dealer. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives would be tasked with enforcing the new rule.
The Biden administration said the rule closes the gun show "loophole."
"If you are conducting business that in a brick-and-mortar store would require you to become a licensed dealer, you have to become a licensed dealer and run background checks," the White House said. "It does not matter whether you are dealing firearms at a gun show, online, in your home, in the trunk of a car, at a flea market, or anywhere else — you must obtain a license and run background checks results. Evidence that a person placed ads online or reserved a table at a gun show shows that the person is intending to profit from the sale."

They are just printing the money.

Biden’s caused so many black markets gun shows next.
Here’s a novel idea: Arrest bad guys and put them in jail instead of letting them go free to commit further offences.
Yep - guns and illegals always follow the 3x factor :-)
Ole Moderate Joe doing more “moderate” stuff... ya know, just tryna help “folks” and so forth...
Joe Biden is and always has been a Far Left ideologue (among other things). It’s remarkable how the GOP has let him get away with pretending be something else.
“It does not matter whether you are dealing firearms at a gun show, online, in your home, in the trunk of a car, at a flea market, or anywhere else — you must obtain a license and run background checks results. Evidence that a person placed ads online or reserved a table at a gun show shows that the person is intending to profit from the sale.”
It will ban all private sales regardless of where they take place in other words
Every gun I’ve bought at a gun show I had to pass a background check. My CHL bypasses that, and that’s why I renewed it. Constitutional Carry is the law in Texas now.
So if you sell a car on Craigslist, will you need a business license? If you sell your home yourself will you need a real estate license? See how stupid this is? Just one more illegal over reach by this tyrannical administration. Become ungovernable.

Not the first in this thread to say it, but the ‘gun show loophole’ never existed.
What they are really trying to outlaw is private citizens from transferring a firearm to another private citizen without government permission.
You know, Wee-Bey breaks into your crib, Wee-Bey's gets your guns with no paperwork. That’s Wee-Bey rule # 1 to get a gun without paperwork.
Wee-Bey shoots you dead, takes your nines…. That’s Wee-Bey rule # 2 to get a gun without paperwork.
Wee-Bey buys a gun off a fellow gang member, again no paperwork…… That’s Wee-Bey rule # 3 to get a gun without paperwork.
Wee-Bey picks up the gun from the former gang member he just disciplined, again no paperwork…… That’s Wee-Bey rule # 4 to get a gun without paperwork.
Funny that Democrat control cities have the strongest gun control laws, yet the largest illegal gun control issue…. 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Let’s have transaction receipts for all the gun buybacks too.
They can go FTS!
Will not comply.
They need a “loophole” to exercize a constitutional right. Sure.
