So, is anyone still gonna argue that Obama isn't as anti-gun as we say?!?
Here is what they are going to burn people with
"Clarify that it doesn’t matter where you conduct your business—from a store, at gun shows, or over the Internet: If you’re in the business of selling firearms, you must get a license and conduct background checks. Background checks have been shown to keep guns out of the wrong hands, but too many gun sales—particularly online and at gun shows—occur without basic background checks. Today, the Administration took action to ensure that anyone who is “engaged in the business” of selling firearms is licensed and conducts background checks on their customers. Consistent with court rulings on this issue, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) has clarified the following principles:
A person can be engaged in the business of dealing in firearms regardless of the location in which firearm transactions are conducted. For example, a person can be engaged in the business of dealing in firearms even if the person only conducts firearm transactions at gun shows or through the Internet. Those engaged in the business of dealing in firearms who utilize the Internet or other technologies must obtain a license, just as a dealer whose business is run out of a traditional brick-and-mortar store.
Quantity and frequency of sales are relevant indicators. There is no specific threshold number of firearms purchased or sold that triggers the licensure requirement. But it is important to note that even a few transactions, when combined with other evidence, can be sufficient to establish that a person is “engaged in the business.” For example, courts have upheld convictions for dealing without a license when as few as two firearms were sold or when only one or two transactions took place, when other factors also were present.
There are criminal penalties for failing to comply with these requirements. A person who willfully engages in the business of dealing in firearms without the required license is subject to criminal prosecution and can be sentenced up to five years in prison and fined up to $250,000. Dealers are also subject to penalties for failing to conduct background checks before completing a sale."

.....Back to the old printing press I suppose.
This will end gun shows
The Chief of the Boston field office of the ATF (or whatever it was called back then) was famously quoted as saying, right after the passage of GCA68, that anyone who sold more than one gun in a year would be prosecuted as an unlicensed dealer. I read the language in this fact sheet to basically say that the same attitude is going to be adopted agency-wide, with 200 additional Special Agents to be brought on board to make it a reality....courts have upheld convictions for dealing without a license when as few as two firearms were sold...

I do not like this, especially since I was planning on selling a few guns this year. I've sold just one gun in my life and that was going to change this year; now, maybe not.
