I wonder about those that are transfer dealers only. Ones that never sell new guns themselves. If I was to ever get an FFL, I would put myself in that category. For example the normal FFL fee paid at a gun store around here is $35. I could see someone only doing transfers and charging $20. If that person knew enough persons that buy one or two guns a year on the auction sites, and used them as their FFL, would the ATF consider that to be business? The profit would only be a few hundred dollars a year, but it would eventually be profit after the cost of the FFL is recouped.

Is that the type of FFL that the ATF does not want around?
