3. There are two issues with this from my POV...

1) ON EDIT - 41P removes CLEO sign off. My first point was incorrect.

2) We will see what the ATF opinion or advisory is about private sales as referenced within this fact sheet. The full working details of what makes someone a "dealer" aren't defined in this fact sheet. The fact sheet states that there will not be a set number of sales but it could be as little as two if other criteria are met. The fact sheet doesn't explain what the other criteria are but I assume the yet to be released ATF opinion will. It's possible ATF won't provide anymore clarification than what's in this fact sheet. If so, this is nothing more than an attempt to make existing law more ambiguous than it already is to scare people out of conducting private sales.

All in all, it could have been a lot worse. I was expecting more import related tomfoolery akin to George H.W. Bush's 922r.
