    What would you do?

    Thought I would ask the fellow members what they would do in this situation...

    I'm a member on a Facebook group that is place for people to buy/sell/trade guns and gear locally (it's a statewide group). What I'm having an issue with is there is a member of the group that is building and selling ARs with no FFL. I can't imagine he is selling his "personal collection" because he will have 4 (or so) brand new PSA rifles for sale every week. New and unfired. He does typically state "must have CCW permit or purchase permit" so he probably is at least not selling to people that can't legally own a firearm.

    So my dilemma, do I leave it be or report him for building and selling firearms with the intent of resale without holding an FFL?

    Ignore it. Although I hate this kind of roach... let the chips fall on their own.

    Report him? For what? Is it hurting you at all? Don't invite the man in your life if you don't have to.

    Next thing you know you're on ILEADS, your Facebook group is shut down, and you're answering a bajillion questions from officers who know you're a gun nut.

    He'll get busted soon enough. I know for a fact that ATF is well aware of Facebook buy and sell groups and monitors them. I'd just not worry about it.

    This would be my take on it.

    What would you do?

    To make things clear I was planning on letting it be, I don't really care to mess with it. Just was unsure if it was something I should do. Got my answer!

    MYOB. The ATF ****s over enough people on their own without gun owners snitching on each other for laws that are unconstitutional in the first place. Why help them?

    Just a matter of time as they build their case, get warrants, line up the MRAP's, etc.

    That's just to raid his vets office to find out what kind of dog he has so they can formulate how best to neutralize the pets first.

    This. I'm sure they already monitor your group, this forum, etc. Don't be surprised if you are contacted by them, they may even approach you to help them do a sting.
