These new rules are going to be fairly easy to monitor through online activity. Frequent gunbroker listings? You're a dealer.
Unintended consequences: gunbroker loses some business. These shadow dealers could, ironically, go to more gun shows as the online advertising is too visible.
Sell only at gun shows, only take cash, don't pay for advertising.

Ye Right, brilliant…..and risk going away to jail for a firearms violation and lose the right to have firearms. No thanks.

That is about the dumbest comment in the entire thread. ATF is monitoring gun shows and making purchases from these non-dealers. That was part of the case with the Arkansas guy.

I bet the ATF smuggled more guns across the border than any were ever bought illegally at a gun show.

If the goal of the government was to make the citizens safer they'd start by keeping repeat offenders in jail. What percentage of violent crime is perpetrated by repeat offenders - 90%? Maybe higher.

Hmmmm, my C&R 03 FFL states (in bold print), THIS LICENSE DOES NOT AUTHORIZE THE HOLDER TO ENGAGE IN THE BUSINESS OF DEALING IN ANY FIREARMS.
Where does this stand in all this mess?

You'd be wrong.
There is an enormous and growing market in Mexico for anything will pop a 5.56. 7.63x39, 7.62x25, 9mm, or 45 ACP cap. Burglaries, straw purchases, individual private sales, questionable gunshow sales are all used, usually by fine folks who smuggle dope and people north, then guns, ammo, and money south. It's worse today than even the 90s because jobs here are plentiful, licensed marijuana is legal and hard to distinguish from illegal weed, the fentanyl market just keeps growing, and the US checks exactly NOTHING southbound into Mexico.

You are partially right. They CALL it closing a non-existant loophole.
What it's intent is to CLOSE GUN SHOWS. (PERIOD).

Most of those who sell at gun shows that people here are speaking of don't have storefronts. They can't afford to rent them for "occasional sales."
Try to get an FFL at you house. I seem to remember ATF cracked down on "table top dealers" years ago. Most cities/counties have zoning that would not allow home FFL's even if ATF would issue the license. (Its how North Carolina cracked down on alcohol sales permits, requiring applicants to have a notice signed by the local zoning administrator stating that the potential business is in compliance with zoning regulations).
Just call this what it is: GUN CONTROL. It is an attempt to make an end run around the Second Amendment. Can't bear arms if you can't buy them. Also, they are trying to make buying ammo more difficult (and expensive). Bearing unloaded arms defeats the purpose.
And always remember, Gun Control is not about guns, its about CONTROL.

I plan on doing as much trading as possible; (Two $5 cats for a $10 dog...)
Won't know if I made a profit unless I actually sell something...

It's just a feel-good proposal so they look like they've "done something"

This new rule only effects the seller, there is no penalty for the buyer. It is set up to punish law abiding people

Last time I went the best tables were the guy with the pickled quail eggs and another with multiple flavors of fudge. If someone wanted a (or hundreds of) cheap Chinese (or perhaps Pakistani) knives, there were plenty of those too. Probably no one cares much about those sellers' profits, if any. Unfortunately collectable S&Ws were mostly obvious by their absence.

UPDATE:
Texas Attorney general and the Kansas Attorney general have
filed a lawsuit seeking an injunction against the Bidens administration and the ATF concerning the "engaged in the business" rule.
Here is hoping...

Luckily, I have already used the Gunshow Loophole to dispose of all my guns. I figured the lakes were already polluted enough from all the boating accidents.

That's why 3 states' AGs have filed suit, with 24 states piling on.

Last week I forwarded info to a friend of mine who sponsors small shows in Texas, asking him how it would affect him. He responded that he was unaware of such a change in BATFE code. Yesterday he called and said he checked with 3 BATF agents and they said they were unaware of anything changing at all and that I must have bad info.
