    They did not. Almost all legislation is written by a lawyer; their choice of words is specific.

    Commercial sale, to a lawyer, means: “for a given product and country the sale for value of that product by a Party (or, as the case may be, by an Affiliate or permitted sublicensee of a Party), to a Third Party after regulatory approval (if necessary) has been obtained for such product in such country. “

    Party means a person or entity involved in an agreement.

    But a lot of legislation starts off with a list of definitions so that the intent is very clear. Without seeing if this bill has a a specific definition for “commercial sales” it’s very hard to determine if this applies to individuals or if it’s a nothing burger designed to pacify the leftists while doing nothing. Could honestly go either way and hard to tell off of just this page.

    What a load of shit!!

    Seems to me they are trying to appease the inner Fudd of those out there who are too scared to sell FTF to a stranger anyway (you know..the BOS crowd), but still want to be able to sell to a family member or neighbor.

    What is a "commercial seller" of firearms that is not a FFL?
    Maybe something to do with interstate commerce.

    All interstate transfers must go thru an FFL even if it's a PPT.

    Two friendly gun loving Texas citizens conducting a gun transfer being called a commercial transaction??? Maybe that's what they intend.

    To me, the word "advertised" in commercial sales makes me think they are going after classifieds listings of any type. Calling any sale listed anywhere a commercial sale, including a sign on your back at a gun show.

    Historically that's been the justification for their oppression. But there is no way to spin an interaction between 2 Texans as "interstate". If this is the beginning of the reset, then so be it.
    "If they hadn't bought it from someone in Texas, then they might have bought it from a company that does business across state lines, so the 14th amendment makes it federal jurisdiction."

    That's how they twist it for other stuff.

    Not what I meant. Texan to Texan could ever be interstate. But since it's not, and dosent require an FFL maybe they are inventing new terms to apply like " commercial non FFL transactions"

    Pulled this from another site.

    If that is original work from someone on that other site, you need to stop going there.

    The author isn’t ignorant, they’re stupid and have no real command of the English language, much less the subject of regulated and unregulated firearm transfers.

    According to Toomey and others, the author is Barr.

    Toomey, a lead Republican negotiator on expanding background checks, told reporters Wednesday that Barr, not the White House, drafted the memo.

    Some insight from the above quoted link:
    The memo, titled, “Idea for New Unlicensed-Commercial-Sale Background Checks,” proposes expanding background checks to all advertised commercial sales, including sales at guns shows, along the lines of the Manchin-Toomey proposal.

    The question I have now, based on the above, is what the heck is the defination of an advertised commercial sale? I am guessing, and I stress guessing, that they would include Texas Gun Trader and our own forum classified listings that result in sales.

    That is a memo being circulated by the DOJ

    Reported to be circulating or confirmed? I would like to think DOJ understands the Privacy Act issues created in that piece of writing.

    OTOH, it would not be surprising if that’s a political appointee talking points or pitch points. That’s literally how retarded the content is.

    I wish that were true, but it's already been spun that even making something for your own consumption is interstate commerce.

    If this is the beginning of the reset, then so be it.
