That shit kinda blows my mind. Like I understand it’s not actually illegal but it feels and sounds hella illegal for me to just sell some random dude a gun in the middle of some parking lot lol.

If that’s illegal then how do organized crime get arrested for trafficking weapons? It sounds like selling guns is legal to do.

I’ve never really been interested in owning a gun because I know how much trouble it can instantly get you in with drugs around. I have a long history with drugs in my younger years so I wasn’t trying to get hit with some crazy sentence just because I had a gun with me the same time as drugs in my car.

I am talking somewhat outta my ass on this point and somewhat not, intent to distribute and sell firearms as a non-FFL (FFL is a license for a retailer to sell firearms) is what gets you trafficking. Me having 2-3 guns that I don’t want anymore and selling them to randoms is different from me having hundreds of guns going in and out of my house monthly you know? That and organized crime is probably selling to known felons. Prolly a mix of the two if o had to guess.
