According to this new proposed rule, \u201ceven a single firearm transaction, or offer to engage in a transaction\u2026 may be sufficient to require a license\u201d from the ATF.<\/p>\n
You read that right, ATF might lock you up for being \u201cengaged in the business of dealing in firearms\u201d if you merely offer <\/em>to sell a single firearm!<\/p>\n Don\u2019t like the way the gun you ordered feels in your hand?<\/p>\n Well, before you can sell your own personal property, you\u2019ll now need a \u201cfederal firearms license\u201d\u2014A.K.A. permission from ATF to engage in protected Second Amendment activity.<\/p>\n And of course, what would a new ATF rule be without criminal consequences for you, the law-abiding gun owner?<\/p>\n Dealing in firearms without a license can get you five years in a federal prison and a $250,000 fine.<\/p>\n And be careful around holidays and birthdays. ATF won\u2019t rule out the possibility of charging you with a federal crime even if you sell a single heirloom firearm to an immediate family member!<\/p>\n This is just a backdoor way to require Universal Registration Checks on all firearms.<\/p>\n We need as many gun owners as possible to comment on the ATF rule. So please add your name to our pre-written letter and submit your comment now!<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n This rule change is truly an attack on your Second Amendment rights.<\/p>\n You cannot exercise your right to keep and bear arms if you cannot buy and sell firearms. Spending numerous hours and hundreds of dollars to receive a federal license and, after that, engaging in overbearing recordkeeping just to sell grandad\u2019s shotgun, is not what the Founders had in mind.<\/p>\n That\u2019s why the Second Amendment necessarily protects your right to purchase and sell firearms free from infringement (like oversight, registration paperwork, and monitoring) by the federal government.<\/p>\n Of course, that isn\u2019t stopping Joe Biden or the ATF!<\/p>\n Now, ATF wants every virtually every gun owner who sells a firearm to:<\/p>\n Even after you get the government\u2019s permission to exercise your Second Amendment right to buy and sell firearms, you\u2019ll be subject to extreme and continuing scrutiny by federal agents.<\/p>\n If you forget to dot one \u201ci\u201d or cross a single \u201ct\u201d then the Biden Administration will \u201cZero Tolerance\u201d you with their newly minted \u201czero tolerance\u201d license revocation policy!<\/p>\n You can be sure they will revoke your license in a heartbeat for even a single mistake.<\/p>\n And guess what? By going through the licensing process to become a \u201cdealer,\u201d you will have to open your home to ATF agents and be subjected to warrantless searches as often as once a year.<\/strong><\/p>\n You also risk losing your license or even jail time if you fail to:<\/p>\n The obvious goal of this new plan hatched by the Biden Administration is to make the exercise of your Second Amendment right to sell a firearm as difficult as possible.<\/p>\n And Biden knows that, if he can make millions of gun owners become federally licensed and then revoke those licenses, you won\u2019t be allowed to exercise that freedom ever again!<\/p>\n Please add your name to our prewritten letter and tell ATF that this gun control is an infringement on your gun rights!<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n On the flip side, ATF\u2019s new proposed rule also affects your ability to purchase a firearm without any registration paperwork, because there will be few if any private sales in which to acquire firearms without Big Brother looking over your shoulder.<\/p>\n That\u2019s why GOA rightly calls this Universal Registration<\/em> Checks, and not just backdoor Universal Background Checks.<\/p>\n There are many valid reasons that a law-abiding citizen might wish to avoid a background check or visiting a commercialized gun store when purchasing a new firearm.<\/p>\n But it doesn\u2019t matter why <\/em>a gun owner might want to purchase a firearm without a background check. We have a Bill of Rights<\/em>, not a Bill of Needs<\/em>.<\/p>\n All these ATF bureaucrats and politicians need to realize is that it is your RIGHT to purchase (and sell) firearms, and that Americans don\u2019t need to ask the government for permission to exercise their rights.<\/p>\n Tell ATF that your firearm purchases and sales are NONE OF THEIR BUSINESS!<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Thank you for commenting against this tyrannical rule by the ATF.<\/p>\n Your public comment could help GOA\u2019s case when we file our lawsuit.<\/p>\n We\u2019ll keep you updated on ATF\u2019s backdoor Universal Registration Check rule as it progresses.<\/p>\n P.S.
