But it will make any number of sellers into criminals. Now if I own a
gun and decide I want to get rid of it but my neighbor says "Let me
give you some $$ for that weapon" then even if I were legally allowed
to do it if I didn't register as a seller then I'm a criminal. Unless
they've got a specific provision that allows for this sort of sale
without registering with the ATF.
