Thank you for the clear explanation. I agree, and that has been the long held understanding of both the public and the ATF for many, many years.
Any FFL who would state what Ed has stated above is nothing more than a gun control fool who should surrender their license instead of trying to impose their own ideas of how laws should be written on the general public. The law is the law. To suggest that someone who follows the law is an "irresponsible seller" and a circumvention of the background check laws is just plain...STUPID. Even more moronic is the idea that an individual who cannot otherwise pass a background check would create an account on Gunbroker for the purposes of making a recorded purchase of such a antique item. Show me one example where criminal activity has resulted from this type of transaction. What a freaking idgit. I'd feel better about buying a gun from Dick's Sporting Goods.
