Authorization of Appropriations.-There are authorized to be appropriated to carry out this section $100,000,000 for each of fiscal years 2014 through 2017.";
That's the least worrying thing.What are they going to do with $400,000,000 over the course of 4 years?
Sounds excessive to me!
Yep....embrace it.Does that mean that if I agree to sell my gun to a forum member face-to-face, that one of us will have to show the other one where we live?
That's WORSE than having to pay an FFL transfer fee!!!
"(A) at a gun show or event, on the curtilage thereof; or
"(B) pursuant to an advertisement, posting, display or other listing on the Internet or in a publication by the transferor of his intent to transfer, or the transferee of his intent to acquire, the firearm.

No, I dont think so. I dont know how you police whether two people who got together on a site like THR and agrred to meet to sell a gun go through a background check or not.
\That's what I expected. Pretty much any transfer involving any internet ad--even a classified cross-printed on line--will require a check. I dare say that implicates most FTF transfers in the 21st century. And broadly construed (as BATFE doubtless WILL construe it), it would encompass any transfer involving any exchange of email, text message or PM on a forum. Post in the rifle forum and mention you might want to sell a rifle? Now you are barred from FTF transfer without NICS. Forever, presumably. It's a nightmare begetting nightmares. Far worse than a total UBC in some ways, because of the traps it lays for the unwary.
"(B) the transfer is made between an unlicensed transferor and an unlicensed transferee residing in the same State, which takes place in such State, if-
"(i) the Attorney General certifies that State in which the transfer takes place has in effect requirements under law that are generally equivalent to the requirements of this section; and
"(ii) the transfer was conducted in compliance with the laws of the State;
There's a digital record of every transaction here? No, I dont think so. You offer your Lorcin for sale in KY and I'm a KY resident. We agree to meet. DId the transaction take place? I dunno. There's no record. Maybe you didnt show. Maybe I didnt.Um... exactly how hard do you think that will be, considering the fact that there will be a (digital) written record of every single transaction? Who is going to agree to buy a gun from someone online, knowing that it is a felony, and that the person they are talking to could actually be a BATF employee?
