I totally agree with everything you’ve said really but it gets hard to follow the rules at times when they are constantly changing them. I have an active presence on here so I’d like to think I stay pretty informed. Just a few weeks ago I was thinking of maybe selling a couple of guns out of my personal collection. Came here and the first thing I see is the new rule change posted about private sales and all of the confusion and complication that goes along with it.
Still there.
If "they" are federal agents with the resources of the federal law enforcement agencies, it doesn't really matter....
I've personally talked to both the FBI and the ATF on numerous occasions due to people doing stupid **** on this forum. In all instances, they already knew the name, DOB, address, phone number, and email address of the parties in question. And these weren't folks who broadcasted who they were on there. That being said, it's really not too difficult to figure out who most folks are with a little digging.
Anyway, as I've said before - I do this for free - so I'd really like to not have to spend my time talking to the FBI/ATF. It'd be a lot easier if people just played by the rules and also weren't dicks.
