There was a change in the law in 1986 by the Firearms Owner Protection Act which switched the verbiage of shipping firearms from saying only for the purpose of repair or customizing to allowing any firearm to be shipped to it's owner. According to the ORIGINAL GUN CONTROL ACT what I was asking about was illegal. You clueless moron.

Quote
Subsec. (a)(2)(A). Pub. L. 99-308, Sec. 102(2)(B), substituted "licensed dealer, or licensed collector" for "or licensed dealer for the sole purpose of repair or customizing".


The exact statute allowing the return of a firearm to it's owner is 18 U. S. C. 922(a(2)(A).
Quote
(a) It shall be unlawful -
(2) for any importer, manufacturer, dealer, or collector licensed under the provisions of this chapter to ship or transport in interstate or foreign commerce any firearm to any person other than a licensed importer, licensed manufacturer, licensed dealer, or licensed collector, except that -
(A) this paragraph and subsection (b)(3) shall not be held to preclude a licensed importer, licensed manufacturer, licensed dealer, or licensed collector from returning a firearm or replacement firearm of the same kind and type to a person from whom it was received; and this paragraph shall not be held to preclude an individual from mailing a firearm owned in compliance with Federal, State, and local law to a licensed importer, licensed manufacturer, licensed dealer, or licensed collector;


God save us from internet experts, and God help the poor guys who think you really know anything about what you scream about. Even when you're right, you're clueless.
No, you didn't post a f*cking "right answer," you posted what you want to believe. No legal determinations, no common sense, no nothing. You chose to respond to a question and discussion that occurred over a month ago for no other reason than to get some attention. You've managed to rack up an astounding 19K+ posts in the seven or so years you've been registered here. That says you have a lot of time on your hands, you like to see your words, and you like to feel important. A constant theme I've seen is you post multiple questions and multiple comments and seem to have an expectation of a response that meets whatever personal satisfaction you seek. Anything less and the respondent is "clueless."

As stated previously, the '68 GCA sets minimum standards for interstate firearms commerce. There's not a single thing stating a firearm is prohibited from being returned to the original owner in the event the intended buyer cannot or does not complete the transaction. That's your ignorant f*cking ass trying to create smoke where there's no fire. You are more than welcome to seek a written determination from the BATFE's legal department if you disagree, but I suspect you won't because they won't give you the answer you want nor will they provide you the instant, public gratification you crave.

I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass. And I'm all out of bubblegum.
