There is some gray, but it seems pretty straightforward.
If you are liquidating a collection..ok
If you sell last years model rifle to fund the purchase of this years model..ok
If you occasionally sell some guns out of your collection..ok
If you advertise as a buyer and seller of firearms and purchase with intention of selling..not ok
If you purchase regularly with the intent of profiting from your sales...not ok.
Yeah it's murky, but it's not that different than it was before. Just don't load up gunbroker with 20 AR's after a shooting looking to cash in on the hype.
Use your head. Stay legal and stay off of the radar. I have a feeling that people will know when they are breaking the law.
Hell, this is an anti-flipper law...the ODT should be loving it. lol
Well that's fine and dandy...but the new guidelines are pretty vague. It even says so within them, that there is no set number of guns that needs to be sold, for profit or not, if other evidence is present.
I'll err on the side of caution. I have lost money on my gun dealings, at best I come out even. but I do trade a lot as I get bored kinda fast.
