If you are "flipping" guns for profit, you need an FFL. Under the original GCA, you could sell up to four per year. That created a problem for the guy/gal who inherited parent's gun collection and had no use for them.

Friend of mine bought a pistol off one these guys at a flea market. He asked a cop friend to run the serial number through NCIC, and came up reported stolen. The legal owner got his gun back, my friend is out five hundred bucks.
