Possibly that an FFL has to be used on both sides of the transaction, including long guns ?

I couldn't find the actual text of the rule...but if I understand it correctly they have supposedly clarified terms such as " a business" and "substantial income" , and "for profit" as it applies to unlicensed sellers at gunshows. We all know unlicensed guys who hit a lot of gunshows in the course of a year...but until .gov comes up with exact definitions...this may be more kabuki theater in an election year. If Joe Hobby gets a table every year, to sell and trade used guns and gear at one or two shows a year...will he be in violation? But there is never any shortage of govt employees to interpret the rule with great enthusiasm...it doesn't cost them anything to write up Joe Hobby, whether it sticks or not.
Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.

Whether you use an existing FFL to ship and receive your firearms, if you are engaging in firearms sales for profit you must obtain an FFL license. That’s how I’m reading it. It’s likely intentionally ambiguous. That helps with the selective prosecution of whomever they want to “get”.

I believe that the wording of this sort of thing is left murky on purpose, so as to dissuade folks from behavior deemed unacceptable by the commies. If I might be in violation, I'm not going to do it. etc. etc. They know it works.

Don't think I've ever sold a gun for a "profit"!

Don't think I've ever sold a gun for a "profit"! Under this new rule, if you ever sold a gun it was "for profit", and you are effectively "in the business". That might not be what the rule says, but that's it's intended interpretation. They plan to force all sales to go through FFL's while getting rid of FFL's.

Not a law, just demoncrat smoke and mirrors.

This isn't new. This has been DOJ policy for the last several years. I think they just needed a headline in an election year. Any yes, it has been a murky situation for a long time. It continues to be so.

It continues to be so. No. They are "reinterpreting" the meaning of "being in the business" to effectively cover ALL private party sales, and thus eliminate them.

It sounds like another big government leftist overreach that will go down in flames when challenged but in the mean time it will provide them probable cause for more mischief.

It continues to be so. No. They are "reinterpreting" the meaning of "being in the business" to effectively cover ALL private party sales, and thus eliminate them. I don't think so, Tim. "Primarily For profit" is the standard they are using. They declared this early last year as well. That can mean one or any number of sales, so "gun flippers" beware. Private sales for the purpose of improving or disposing of one's own collection are exempt under the law. Where does one start and the other stop? Gray area, of course. The ATF website does give some guidelines, but they are indeed vague. I agree that the goal of this administration is to eliminate private sales. They just don't have a law that allows them to do it. In the meantime, they push the bounds of existing law as far as possible. Ultimately the courts will decide where the boundary is. Until then, DOJ may, and likely will, harass and intimidate individuals to get compliance.

Interesting indeed, but eliminate private sales, dont think so. Also depends on where you reside. In Nebraska with its Purchase Permit(for now) and CHP being considered an alternative to Brady its always been suggested that all private sales you ask to see a purchase permit and DL or just a CHP before making the sale. Long guns you didnt need to keep a record but more of a CYA case of due diligence. Handgun sales again it was suggested to keep a record of the CHP or PP # for a CYA but not mandatory. So at a gun show presenting a PP/DL or a CHP was your background check.
