ATF attempts to explain the gun-selling business, but lengthy document could lead to more confusion

The document says in part that the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act “broaden(s) the definition of when a person is considered ‘engaged in the business’ (EIB) as a dealer in firearms other than a gunsmith or pawnbroker.” (Stock photo)
