Get And Sign Gun Bill Of Sale Form

From what I hear, they are only pulling guns from some stores, and most of those are stores where gun sales are quite low. So basically, a store that still has high gun sales will likely still offer them with no change. This does not appear to be a politically-driven act, but more of an economic reason.However, Dick’s shot(no pun intended) themselves in the foot after the Parkland school shooting, when they announced they would refuse to sell a gun to anyone under 21. This was a clear message that they were afraid of the rabid part of the “anti-gun left”, and they were caving in to the societal pressure. That or they simply wanted to earn “brownie points”. In response, gun sales dropped quite a bit, and some pro-2nd Amendment supporters stopped shopping there altogether.Thus, this announcement is immediately taken by many on the right as “Dick’s first raised the age to buy a gun, and now they are refusing to sell any guns at all. Let’s boycott them fully.”Whether this mindset is correct, or rational, or totally wrong is irrelevant. By raising the age to 21, Dick’s was making a statement. They were saying the national law was not enough and that they were going to do their part in further restrictions(as is their right to do). However, as our dear friends on the left love to remind us…actions have consequences. In this case, those consequences appear to include a loss in revenue, and also a tendency for their customers who lean right politically to “jump to conclusions”.

Are you sure that the NRA is the problem?Oh, I know that the media and the talking heads are all making them out to be some 500 lb gorilla and the reason psychos shoot up school yards, but have you ever bothered to look into the matter beyond the headlines?I’ll give you an example. In 2017, the push was for a “Universal Background Check”. The idea was to be sure that people buying guns were not criminals. Believe it or not, the NRA wholly supports this and in fact was involved with creating the current NICS (National Instant Check System) that is used.But the bill that was proposed was not what you heard in the media. First, it would not plug any “Gunshow Loophole” because there is no such thing. The only sales at a gun show that the bill covered was private sales. Of course, private sales can occur anywhere, not just gun shows.But the bill didn’t make the NICS easier for private sales. They just required all private sales to be conducted through a licensed dealer. Had this actually passed, a gun show would be an ideal location for such sales as there would be access to many dealer. In effect, you would greatly increase the number of private sales at a gun show by this law.So, what is involved with a sale through a dealer? Well, the dealer would have to do the following:1) Record the transfer in their bound book. This is a book where all the transactions of a firearm is recorded via that dealer. The book is auditable by the BATF and many dealers have faced fines for poorly kept records, so many dealers go to great pains to keep their book neat and accurate.2) Fill out the federal form 4473. This is required by all dealer sales of both new and used guns. It asks for the buyer’s name, address, the make and model of the gun, serial number, and then asks a bunch of questions. The dealer can get fined if the person fills out the form wrong. For example, answering a question with “Y” or “N” instead of “Yes” or “No” is a BATF violation. So the dealer has to carefully examine the form for errors and have the person fill out another if errors are found.3) The dealer then calls into the NICS. NICS can come back with a “Proceed”, “Denied” or “Delay”. A delay can take up to 3 days. Typically this is a name that appears similar to a Prohibited Person and requires some research. If this happens, the transfer is on hold. The dealer has no idea when the result of the research is likely to finish. If you are at a gun show, the show could be over before the approval is made.4) All this signNowwork, verification, etc takes time. Time is money. So dealers charge for this service. It is typical for a dealer to charge $25-$40 per gun, but sometimes multiple guns get a discount because the dealer can process up to 4 on a single form, but when more than one gun is transferred, the dealer has to fill out Form 3310 which is supposed to help with gun trafficking.All of this is well and good if you are buying a gun from someone you don’t know and many people will require sales be conducted at a dealer for the piece of mind such protections provide. But friends and family typically do not bother with the hassle and expense.One thing you need to realize is that to get a gun dealer license is not an easy process. Since the federal government cracked down on so called “kitchen table” dealers back in the 1980’s, you now must show a commercially zoned storefront with posted business hours to qualify. Many communities don’t want gun shops, and use zoning laws to make them difficult or unattractive. For example the city of Boston does not have any dealers. In fact, the nearest dealer is 3 towns away. Many rural areas don’t have the traffic to keep a dealer in business and you’ll find they are typically only open in the evening or on a Saturday as they work another full time job. Keep this in mind as we get into the next issue.But the bill didn’t stop at sales. It stated that ALL transfers had to be done in this manner. No exceptions. So, two friends out on a hunt would need to go through the whole process listed above just to swap guns for the afternoon. Oh, and they would have to do it all again to give the gun back. It is very common on a range to try out other people’s guns - such a thing would also require the full transfer and back process. Demo guns at a national event by manufacturers? Same thing.Basically any time a gun were to swap hands, the law would apply. There are private shooting clubs where guns are treated like library books and members take whatever they want. Families regularly swap guns. Heck, some shooting courses provide guns for students to use. All of these events would have been impacted by these new transfer requirements.The NRA balked at this. Essentially the rule would curtail many of the traditions and practices that are very common and virtually never result in any kind of criminal activity. In essence it would criminalize things that simply are not crimes.Not only would it create criminals where no criminal intent existed, but the cost to manage the volume of temporary transfers, the staffing needed to take the calls and do the checks would have cost millions each year. All money that would not go toward actually dealing with criminals.When the issue was brought up, many members of Congress agreed the requirements were too restrictive and the whole bill failed to pass. The supporters of the bill did not even attempt to listen to the complaints and work out a manageable fix.Did you hear any of that in the media?But what about catching criminals?Well, the bill didn’t change anything in regards to enforcing the rules to make sure the people who should not own guns were properly entered into NICS. In fact, other than maybe getting fired, there is NO PENALTY for failing to report a person. We have laws that will jail a teacher or coach that fail to report bullies. We have laws that put priests in prison who fail to report potential inappropriate behaviors in other clergy. But we do not have any laws that punish law enforcement agents that fail to do their job and make sure that dangerous people are reported to the background system. And this bill made no effort to change that.NICS is not open to anyone but federally licensed gun dealers. The left are so worried that the system might be used to check people for things other than guns that they refuse to create a means to allow people to verify someone they are selling a gun to. It would be easy to create an app that takes a photo of the buyer and seller’s ID (or just their faces and type in some data) and then return a simple “Proceed” or “Deny” with no other details. You’d have plenty of information to audit for illegal use. And if someone didn’t have an ID, they could then use a dealer. Heck, you can’t file taxes on-line without submitting some kind of ID, so this isn’t anything unique.And yet, the bill did nothing to address the issue of accessing the NICS for easier private sales.Here is the thing. We have 20,000 gun laws in this country. On the federal side, a prohibited person touching a gun could see them in prison for a minimum of 5 years. And yet, we still see cities with high violent crime rates that have virtually no federal cases. Why isn’t law enforcement using those stiff federal laws to get the violent people off the streets? Such a program called “Project Exile” worked wonders in Richmond, VA to reduce violent crime dramatically.OK, back to the “Universal Background Check” bill.I spent a lot of words above explaining what the bill would have required of people and why the situation would have been a nightmare. You never saw any of this in the news and the media pretty much ignored the issue.When the bill was defeated, it was never reported that a “terrible bill that would have cost millions and made criminals out of the innocent was defeated”, instead, all you ever heard was“The NRA used its influence to defeat the Universal Background Check bill that would have closed the gunshow loophole”Almost everything about that statement is false.So, be careful what you want to “Fight Against”. I suspect that most of what you think about the NRA is highly biased due to the way the organization is treated in the media. When you look at the actual facts, many times their concerns are quite valid. And, they have a lot of rank and file law enforcement on their side which helps them represent real world situations. I’ve found their positions in many cases very well presented. Most of the arguments you get on TV news are highly edited and taken out of context to promote an agenda, not facilitate a debate.Make sure you know what you are fighting for. You might be surprised.

Sure, let’s violate people’s right to privacy, just so people who know nothing about the amazing usefulness and need for firearms can “feel” safer, because they can point a finger at someone and tell themselves that RIGHT THERE is one of those evil gun owners, liable to snap at any given moment, and kill the innocent…or some such useless drivel.Seriously, what goes through your mind, OP, when you pen such a ludicrous (and useless) question? What makes you - or any sane person - think this is a good idea? Are you so ignorant on the subject of firearms that you feel that you will be safer if you know who has them?Try this: Assume everyone you meet is armed. Try that for a week. At the end of the week, examine your feelings, your reactions, etc. Did your activities change? Did it actually matter to you at all? I’m betting it won’t, for the simple reason that in some states, most people are armed, and no one really cares.If you think you’re safer when you’re more defenseless, I’ve got two things to say about that:1 - You need to explain the logic of that to me, and others who support the 2nd Amendment (which is, by the way, the law).2 - Don’t ask others to “feel” the way you do about the subject. We’re not asking you to change your life, so don’t ask us to change ours.And lastly, before posting such nonsense in the future, do some research on the subject, and learn a bit more about firearms. You might be surprised. The only one who can change your mind is you, and only facts are going to help with that.

It varies.The first issue to address is ‘what is an assault rifle’, and the most accurate answer I can give you that it’s a design concept, rather than an actual product. I liken it to a ‘sports car’. What is, and what isn’t, a sports car? The real auto enthusiasts can define what it’s *supposed* to be and give you a list of makes and models, none of which are especially abundant or inexpensive. This is pretty much exactly as the gun buffs of the world do. It’s not really black and white, but rather shades of gray, and what is and isn’t generally boils down to how close a given model comes to complying with the paradigm. The idea of an assault rifle is that it’s a lightweight, short rifle firing a small rifle cartridge (.22-.30 caliber bullet from a case of modest capacity) that could ostensibly take the place of the infantry rifle, squad automatic weapon, carbine, and submachine gun. It’s really a tall order if you think about it. It’s asking a lot! I’ve always been of the opinion that the closest anything has ever come to being an assault rifle is the US M16 and M16A1. Everything else, including the M16A2, is either a full size battle rifle, a carbine or submachine gun, or else weighs too much to qualify. I’ll point out that the M16A2 gained a heavier barrel and true rifle sights adjustable for both windage and elevation versus the simplistic sights most assault rifles have. Losing the full auto setting was a step away from ‘assault rifle’. The Kalashnikov, considered an assault rifle by most, is much heavier than the M16 was and only had a 16″ barrel, which is carbine rather than rifle length. The ‘AK’ is really more a submachine gun that fires a rifle rather than a pistol cartridge. The M16 always was a service rifle first and anything else was a distant second function.An autoloader AR-15 type rifle is ‘close enough’ to being an assault rifle, really. This is especially true if it is 1) a rifle with a 20″ barrel (versus a carbine with a 16″ barrel) and 2) is very minimalist and features a light weight barrel.From this perspective, they’re a bit hard to find! They’re kind of old school these days, and most of the ‘AR-15’ type rifles being sold now are actually carbines. Does it really make any difference? Eh! On the one hand, the US military and law enforcement agencies have really moved toward the carbines as a weapon of choice. On the other hand, serious target shooters still use rifles, and while you can compete in Service Rifle competition, there’s no class for carbines that I’m aware of. For use as a weapon, in most cases, an assault rifle and a carbine are about the same but the carbine is handier in built up urban areas and when mounting and dismounting vehicles.That being said……you decide that any autoloader rifle accepting a 20 or 30 round magazine is ‘good enough’ for your purposes. Most gun shops that have any real traffic flow will carry them because it’s what the younger enthusiasts who are actively buying firearms are gravitating toward. Some of the ‘big box’ stores do offer them, though Wal Mart no longer does. If you’re way out in the boonies, you might have some difficulty based on distance, but most of us live reasonably close to a retailer who offers an ‘assault rifle’ facsimile for sale. Some states require a permit that’s akin to a handgun permit, so a visit to the sheriff’s office may be in order first. Other than that, they’re just a rifle about like anything else excepting a single shot, and there aren’t all that many of those around. They don’t have any magical powers or special features that place them heads and shoulders above any other type of rifle, although people of smaller stature sometimes find them to be a better fit than a full size hunting or target rifle. They’re not as powerful or as accurate as full size centerfire hunting or target rifles are, as a rule. You fill out BATFE Form 4473 when buying one, just like any other firearm.In an era when they say the average US citizen would be hard pressed to afford to deal with a $1000 emergency, coming up with the money to buy an ‘assault rifle’ is probably the biggest obstacle many people face, followed by finding just the one they want if it’s anything out of the ordinary.If one wants to, building an AR-15 rifle from a purchased lower receiver and an assortment of other parts isn’t difficult and sometimes is the easiest way to get just what you want. The receiver is legally a firearm and is purchased in exactly the same way, but after that, it’s mostly just a bit more time and effort. It’s a popular option.

Seriously? This is your question? Are you sure you do not want to reword it?Here is the exact quote of the 2nd Amendment: “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”Seems in your mind they never mentioned Rifles, Pistols, Cannons, or any weapons… they only mention “BEAR ARMS” does this mean [even though, to be clear it is not spelled the proper way, but we are basing this on your education], U.S. Citizens have the ‘RIGHTS TO WEAR SHIRTS WITHOUT SLEEVES’?Read carefully, the Framers of the U.S. Constitution were and most likely are still educated at a level MUCH MUCH higher then yours and they actually understood how to read and write law. Now this lack of education in these areas are the reason you can easily be duped [tricked, lied too, conned], into believing what those that want to enslave you are saying.They actually meant and you could, if you can read ‘cursive’, read their notes and writings that “We the People…” have the Right to own and use any weapons made on the face of the earth which includes Aircraft Carriers and Rockets.Now let’s actually discuss an actual word and its meaning that is not even in the U.S. Constitution and that word is ‘Democracy’, YOU WILL NOT FIND THAT WORD IN THE U.S. CONSTITUTION, the meaning of democracy is a simple one…IT MEANS MOB RULE, you know this and see this used in school or with friends, in example: The class is split on Watching “the Avengers” or “Mary Poppins” so the teacher asks the class; “who wants to watch “Mary Poppins” this Friday”, and the some of the students raise their hands. Now there are 30 students [17 girls and 13 boys], in the class and only 16 [15 girls 1 boy] raise their hands, but its a democracy so the other 14 [2 girls 12 boys] must abide by the want of the 16. Not very fare to the Boys and in fact the Girls win every time there is a vote like this, that is what democracy looks like. Now, you will find ‘REPUBLIC’ and ‘LORD’ written in the U.S. CONSTITUTION… funny your educators lied to you about that as well. In a Republic the 30 Students would be in groups Asian, Black, Caucasian, Latin etc. and each group would hold 1 vote, this way EVERY GROUP IS HEARD and though as in life, not every person will ALWAYS win an election, they at least can be heard and will win several elections… That is a Republic even the smallest group gets an equal voice; think Rhode Island or Montana as opposed to California or New York… every State [group] deserves a voice.Let’s work at getting a real education on your RIGHTS and who it is that has the POWERS in regard to these United States of America and maybe, just maybe, you could help save it from those trying to destroy it and enslave all its people…This is why those intelligent men and women worked to give us this document and the whole of the citizenry forced the Amendments to be added in; a few of those being the 1st (your right to speak against tyranny), 3rd government cannot just enter and take position in/on your property during time of peace, 4th Your right to protect and be secure in keeping your signNows, possessions and things of value, 5th you cannot be falsely jailed, 6th you can not be held in jail indefinitely on just a charge of guilt and of course the one that enables you to protect all your rights and those of your family and friends…the 2ND AMENDMENTThink this through; the people were being overburdened by a government that only wanted to use and abuse them. A government that was spending out of control. They needed to break free of these virtual and many actual slave chains to give their family a chance of being free. Now I ask you, do you think they truly believed this was the only government to ever do this to its ‘subjects’? Do you think they believed no other greedy power hungry people would ever exist again that would want to take over their lives and wealth? Could this be why they gave rights to you , a person they could never fathom even existing never mind easily giving away their rights; rights to be able to stand up against tyranny and if needed to die protecting your freedoms given from the One True God ‘IAM’, the one they wrote several times as Lord, Creator, Jesus Christ in their works.Do not let their lives, struggle, work and deaths go in vain…

You are correct that your LLC is an entity, but that does not mean it is not a sole proprietor.  That is determined by the ownership of the LLC.  If in fact you are the sole owner and have not made any type of corporation elections, then for tax purposes your LLC is a sole proprietorship and you will probably have to complete a W9 for many of your customers.  You will receive a 1099 from any customers who pay you more than $600 over the course of a calendar year.  Likewise if you have any independent contractors working for you, you will need to obtain a W9 from them and send them 1099 forms at year end if you pay more than $600 to any one contractor.One final comment, I would suggest you contact a US tax professional and have a conversation about all the various tax reporting obligations you have now as a business owner.  No offense, but from the wording of your question, I assume taxes and accounting are not your strong suit and probably not the area where you add value to the business.  You would be well served to get professional help and keep yourself out of trouble.
