Montana gun show attendees react to new federal rule on firearm sales

The Biden administration recently announced it finalized a rule requiring people who sell firearms online and at gun shows to conduct background checks on potential buyers.

Ya, what is a gunshow loophole exactly? If you're a dealer at a gunshow or anywhere else, you have to do a background check. If you're a private citizen with a gun to sell, gunshow or otherwise, no background check. That's not a loophole. It's just how it is.

[@defconsupply3990]

Not here they are not licensed 60% are unlicensed , no ID required no record keeping. It's why I quit setting up at shows. Folks would rather pay more for no paper work used guns than buy brand new from me and go through the NICS process. Plus they can sell to non residents, criminals, illegal aliens anyone with cash. I do not favor this action by the government but here flea markets and gun shows are sources for illicit guns

[@tf2529]

It’s actually less than 5 percent who are not FFL’s , about 2 percent.

[@DanK123]

Well almost 10% of people who respond to online ads from unlicensed sellers would fail a background check. That's the point of this. Not the gun show sellers, but people who aren't officially sellers there that skirt the system and still make profits from selling guns. What is the big deal about making sure gun buyers get background checked? I just bought my 4th firearm in 4 months and I have zero problem when the gun shop runs me through NICS. That's the system doing its job.

ATF is already violating federal law by creating a registry from 4473 forms. They are prohibited by Congressional legislation from doing that, but they do it anyway. This new rule is simply another example of the Executive Branch usurping power it does not have. The change in the statute that occurred in 2022 did not grant this kind of authority to rule by Executive Decree. It pisses them off that they don't know who purchases or owns every gun in the country. The crazy thing is that ATF is now insisting that anyone who sells a single firearm must first obtain an FFL, while at the same time ATF is actively putting FFLs out of business over paperwork errors. Once this rule goes into effect (before it gets thrown out in the federal courts) the best solution is to have EVERY gun owner send in an application for an FFL. Imagine, ATF being flooded with tens of millions of FFL applications. They will not be able to handle the volume, which brings to mind the old saying, "Be careful what you ask for."

That's not how it works. Making a profit is not illegal. What's a problem is pretending that you're just selling from a personal collection when it is in fact a sales inventory.

The problem begins when you start repurchasing the same models and selling them over and over sending them onto buyers almost as soon as you receive them.

Another section makes it seem like it is ok only if you do it occasionally. Which is it and what is their definition of "occasionally" ? The federal government probably wants this new rule to be vague and confusing so people are afraid of even attempting private sales and it allows them to enforce the rule anyway they see fit.

@@kenofken9458Lol it’s actually extremely confusing. It’s 466 pages long so I know you’re lying if you say you understand it in any capacity. It’s extremely vague, “profit” isn’t specifically defined anywhere in that 466 pages, so 1 dollar made could be considered profit, it doesn’t define what something that’s “valuable” is, it says even up to 1 gun sale privately “might” consider you “in the business”.

[@user-rf3cn2ou3x]

Yes, today it is a out of our control police state, that is intentionally making us into criminals so it c a n deal with us one by one, just like the guy in Arkansas. What should we do ?

[@gridtac2911]

Stopped being a Republic once the 16th and 17th amendments were ratified

[@CryptoMeme]

I love guns but support the fact that guns should not be sold at a gun show with no record of sale. That guy is an idiot and doesn’t realize those are some of the guns getting to the streets.

[@nathanhale7444]

Rules are not law and any lower law that violates a higher law is illegal and illegitimate and we have no legal or moral obligation to obey them.

[@1979Spica]

I went to a gun show in Arkansas. Nothing has changed. They would not sell us a gun without a background check.

[@DuhYaThink]

Beyond stupid. Just shows us it’s NOT about safety but about more revenue for the government. Now people will have too pay for an FFL just too make a private firearm sale. Ridiculous 🙄

[@JohnMoore-xf5wy]

It's about CONTROL.

[@davidwright873]

Don't get rid of the guns that you have...The noose is tightening.....

[@victornonnya]

A gun is legally owned property. I'm allowed to legally sell my legal firearm and legally make money off my own legal property and to repair my property without the gov.

[@Omegafox411]

"The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed" is THE LAW. All other 'rules' are unconstitutional, illegal, and are therefore tyrannical. The 2A also addresses what to do when the government becomes tyrannical.

Once again a "rule" directed at us and not the criminal.

[@bryanroye1112]

Rules are not laws.

[@epicpeppy2977]

What this rule mainly does is stop private citizens from selling their firearms. You are limited in how many of your personal collection you can sell. It goes as far to allow the ATF to pursue legal action against you even if you sell one. Even selling your firearms to a FFL dealer is highly limited with this rule. Please read this ruling fully understand how over reaching this is.

A rule or mandate is not law !!!!!!!!!

DEFY THE FIAT DECREE AND EXCLUDE ATF THUGS FROM FUTURE GUN SHOWS. The ATF had no lawful right to be admitted to any gun show.

Government has no jurisdiction in private contracts

[@alextepe4309]

These “rights” people speak of are not absolute. For example, under federal law, if you’ve been convicted of domestic violence, you can’t lawfully possess a firearm. But if you have nothing to hide, then there shouldn’t be a problem.

[@JoeyJoJoJr0]

What's a "gun show loophole"? Nobody has ever explained it, just like the meaning of "assault rifle"

[@jeffanon1772]

The "gun show loophole" means that a person who isn't legally able to purchase a firearm can go to a gun show and buy one anyway because there's no background check required

[@JoeyJoJoJr0]

@@jeffanon1772 But what you described, doesn't exist. Every vendor has to have an FFL, and the buyer needs to complete a background check. Private sellers can only sell specific weapons (bolt actions, single shot, shotguns, muzzle loaders) without the need for an ffl\background check; however, they still require a valid ID to verify they're of age. ATF agents are also posted at every gun show to verify purchases and check bags at the doors.

[@JoeyJoJoJr0]

@@johncrawford6322 By all means, prove me wrong

[@robbyburty]

It is a CRIME loophole, not a gun show loophole. Every Gun show requires a 4473. Don't gaslight KPAX-TV

[@chrishoward8187]

There’s no such thing as gun show Loopholes !! Everyone has to do background checks on every firearm. Even at gun shows. Even LEO’s sell their privately owned to other people.

Rebecca as I am sure you have heard before and will, without doubt , hear again. The second ammendment was,is now, and will forever more, not be about hunting (hunting is included of course) but the reason the second ammendment actually was put in place was to allow us the the citizens (not subjects of a king or queen. Existing as, essentially, property ) citizens with an inalienable right, no,a dut,y to be able to protect ourselves and our families, and, required, our friends and neighbour's with lethal force. It is necessary to understand that this right ,extends to our God given rights,to defend our Indiana freedoms from a government that is running roughshod over us (the people) whom the government is supposed,to serve(AGAIN US,WE ARE THE PEOPLE

😭 Waaaaaaa we have to do a background check before we buy and sell guns to strangers without a FFL license 🤔that’s a good thing 👍grow up 😉
