Weird,
OK, about 2 weeks ago I wanted to edit all my WTS threads/posts to delete the text and photos.
Thinking that maybe I PPT'd to many guns.
After researching the instances in CA. were guys like us sold one to many guns and the ATF/DOJ busted our chops, investigated them for selling to many long guns.
In the court doc's/memos the ATF/DOJ used Calguns WTS threads against the law abiding citizens. Tying the Thread/I'll take it post to the DROS record, and in cases were there DROS was too old/no record, they used the WTS thread to show the seller was trying to act like a dealer without a license, even thought all transaction when through an FFL.
OK Most of these guys were NOT law abiding citizens, they were buying and reselling for profit, buying a gun today and selling within a month of getting it, over and over again -
or doing round about STRAW buys/Sales, so yes that is illegal, even if you sale through an FFL. My concern was the legal allowed PPTs could maybe be seen as doing this...
But I did not want to get tied in with that mess even though I trade 1 for 1 ''to enhance my collection'' A OK! but you never know.... there is no record of long gun sales of PPT's that can accumulate over time and show a red flag for selling Long Guns in PPT, it turns out paper trails like forum threads are strong evidence for overzealous agents, yeah.... weird I know, but I error on caution.
--------------------------------------------
SO I started to edit each thread and post to delete the text/photos,,,, TIME CONSUMING.... Thought to myself, would it not great of I could just delete the whole thing....
But nope I have to go to each post and each thread, click edit, advanced edit and repeat....
Got through a few threads and my TTT posts, stopped.... procrastinated. . . .
-------------------------------------------
I log into to do it today and found ever record of anything I ever sold was deleted!!!!
NICE!
