I don't want to disturb the circle of toxic users here, but for all readers here a clarification: As linked by one of the above mentioned members, the FFL is a Federal Firearms License. The phrase “from FFL to FFL” most likely means “from authorized weapon dealer to authorized weapon dealer”. But as I have already mentioned, there are several points to consider from a legal point of view. In particular, a crypto platform is not intended for weapons deals. This is without doubt a clear abuse of the original Bitcoin forum created by Satoshi Nakamoto. A gun sales portal, with which this crypto forum was compared here, would most likely ensure that the members would get fully verified if it were a reputable portal. Here at Bitcointalk, all members are anonymous. Even if both parties agree to speak publicly from “FFL to FFL”, this cannot be controlled in any way, especially since the reported user BayAreaCoins himself says that this is only “strongly preferred”, but not essential:

FFL to FFL is strongly preferred.

Anyway, since the weapon deals here are running in a legally completely unregulated way, the next point is that the regularly offered deals here are running in a commercial style, as I said before, especially since the seller did not just “occasionally” sell an used 7.65 PPK. For these commercial activities he needs a FFL himself, which he doesn't have:

...
I do not have and am not required to have an FFL.
...
I do use FFL's.  It's just easier and such.

He sold new assault rifles with a thousand rounds of ammunition and was undoubtedly in a position to facilitate international terrorism. Note in this context his “discount” of 10 % for all Muslims:

10% off for all our muslim friends in the USA

Even his additional alibi statement “as you pink promise you won't use them to exterminate Christians someday” offers no certainty that he would not supply assault rifles to Islamists planning their next terror act. If someone from the outside reads these ongoing arms deals, he clearly comes to the conclusion that there is something wrong with both the weapon dealer and this forum here! And since this whole mob of toxic users has not been taught the necessary legal knowledge, not to mention respect and decency, I will now teach each of them these missing skills!

I'll be back!
