Man unloads 58 guns at Compton buyback

[Rastus]

Private sale regulations (if any ) would apply. BUYING has nothing to do with a business so no ATF jurisdiction.

That's what am thinking.  Just think about all of the neat guys you could get real cheap.  That tiered pay schedule needs a bit more work, but that's the way to go.  You get a real clunker you take it to a copy buyback and keep yourself whole...maybe make a buck or two.

This actually gave me an amusing idea. Given that buying from a private seller is perfectly legal with no paperwork, why not set up a competing booth right next to the police? Offer $50 more per gun if you want them. Just think of how many cops heads you could make explode and how much press you could get.

Hey FQ13,

That gun buy back was in CA.....all hand gun sales have to go through FFL.

All in good fun. I respect Rastus, I don't agree with him, but I do respect the man. He says what he believes and stands by it. Same with Tom and Peg. I'll give them hell, but there will always be a smiley.

To follow up on the idea proposed here, if you did set up a competing table to the LEOs and city mopes, regardless of the location, is there anyone here who does not think that a case would be made by the city that the competing table was a de facto business and therefore required to process NCIS checks through an FFL? If the LEOs are conducting a "program" (i.e., a periodic business) to collect guns, then consider:
- Place of business - a single or small number of locations to conduct the business
- Advertising the business
- Paid staff (in the case of the city program)
- Indiscriminate purchasing any any firearm brought in

The only saving grace for the competing table would be to reject some/many of the guns as not collectible, thereby establishing a basis for it being a true private sale.

State laws may vary, Federal laws do not.

Sorry folks, I must have had a major brain fart adult moment.

Even if you sell a gun to an individual, or even to a gun shop, you as the seller do not ever have to go through an FFL or run an NCIS check. I know there are states that are trying to force this (and there may be some that actually do require this, mine doesn't), and of course there is also the proposed so-called Federal "gun show loophole" legislation. But these are not in force yet.

(in my best Emily Litella imitation) Nevermind!

Rastus,

Depending on your community or state I would expect a search warrant if you did this.  A liberal community, a liberal LE, a liberal DA and a liberal judge would be able build a case that you purchased stolen guns or guns used in a crime.  I wouldn't even necessarily take all to be liberal, but good judges will find themselves handcuffed by case law and unable to stop things if done correctly.

Once they figured out what you were up to, your "customers" would be video taped and photographed for identification.

Regardless of business transaction or private sale, if a gun you bought was found to be evidence or stolen you would lose it.  Evidence - I would expect most if not all of the guns to be confiscated during the warrant for testing.
