| ATF Final Rule Redefines Word ‘Sale' So that ‘Bartering' for a Neighbor's Gun Requires a NICS Check |
| 2024-04-14 |
| [Breitbart] The ATF’s background check rule redefines the word “sale” so that private sellers who receive services or barter in exchange for a gun are required to use the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS). Breitbart News reported the ATF’s announcement of the proposed rule on August 31, 2023. The rule redefines what it means to be “engaged in the business of selling guns,” thereby expanding the instances in which an unlicensed seller — i.e., a private citizen — must use the NICS to sell/transfer a gun. Much of the rule focuses on guns being sold for “profit,” using degree of profit and frequency of sales to categorize private sellers as persons who must go through NICS to sell/transfer guns. However, pages 26-27 of the rule equates “pecuniary gain” with “profit,” opening the door for the ATF to redefine the word “sale” so as to require a NICS check when a private seller is “bartering” over a gun. Beginning with the last paragraph on Page 26 and reading into the first paragraph of page 27, the reader sees clearly that the ATF is defining the terms: “Defining these terms to include any method of payment for a firearm would clarify that persons cannot avoid the licensing requirement by, for instance, bartering or providing or receiving services in exchange for firearms with the predominant intent to earn pecuniary gain even where no money is exchanged.” Second Amendment Foundation founder and executive vice president Alan Gottlieb commented on the ATF rule, saying, “This is a continuation of the Biden war on guns. It is another attempt to get around Congress to make new laws without congressional approval.” |

| #6 Their fault is that they can't say the truth out loud so they try to blanket cover everything. Bartering for illicit drugs and stolen goods would obviously imply certain communities. It's their nature (see frog and scorpion) to engage in group punishment. |

| #2 What about ‘borrowing for life’? ‘Can I borrow your ar-15 forever? Sure, just leave me you Glock 19 and $800’ |

| #1 ATF IS STILL OVERRULED. Since the SCOTUS ruled, the 2nd applies to individual citizens. The right of the people to keep and bear arms, cannot be infringed by some Federal bureaucrat with a pen creating politically motivated Regulations. |
