This market is part of a series of markets inspired by a scroll through Rumble.com. They will be resolved to PROB based on the spirit of the hypothesis (somewhat vibes-based), using evidence posted in comments and own research if necessary.
I will not be trading in those markets.
If you want to discuss this series of markets in general there is a Discord thread.
Looks like the proposed rule is to require background checks for private sales made online, and require "anyone who earns a profit from selling firearms to obtain a federal license and conduct background checks," for sellers above a threshold of firearms sold per year, which is mentioned in the article as less than five: From NYT: https://archive.is/D7Aap
If one needs to obtain a federal license to sell firearms for a profit, that would count as eliminating private sales in my book, but if it is acceptable to sell two firearms per year without a permit, that would not.
@brp
1. BASED
2. yeah, something like that, it'll probably be PROB depending of how much harder it makes things in practice
@brp TBH I don't think even requiring a reasonably cheap "I intend to sell guns" registration or even reporting sales or background checks if they're instant is ELIMINATING PRIVATE SALES
