Tyranny of the ATF

[Seran]

I can read.

If a Gemstone IV player sells an item from Ebon’s Gate a few years back and happens to make a profit since the item is more rare/valuable today, is that person a Gemstone IV dealer?

I have lots of guns. Many of those guns become increasingly more valuable over time. If I choose to sell one to a private individual that I do not know to be a felon, I shouldn’t be troubled with registering as a FFL. Instead, me as an example and a law abiding citizen, could now be charged with a felony for selling a gun to my neighbor. It’s important to understand Congress didn’t make or change the law. The ATF simply made a new rule and new definitions. You don’t have to be into guns to understand why that is wrong & concerning.

Yes I will be writing to the ATF as well. It’s a formality & spoiler alert: they don’t care nor will they change their mind. It’s like writing to the Soviet Gestapo.

Ignorance is not an affirmative defense against breaking the law, it never has been. You seem to be implying through your argument that there is additional value to be had through an anonymous transaction, we'll set aside how morally questionable that is providing a deadly weapon to a potential felon for increase profit. You run the risk of being charged with a felony crime for NOT registering yourself as a dealer and doing the mandated checks required in private arms sales, that you think it is cumbersome and an undue burden. This is also not an affirmative defense. Well regulated is written plaintext into the second amendment, end of debate.
