Executive Orders only affect how the executive branch does business; i.e. how the executive branch executes the laws. It is the equivalent of the CEO saying "we will no longer sell widgets and begin selling whatsits."
Obozo evidently didn't pay attention in law school to that part in class. If he had been, he would have figured out that the ATF can only go out and arrest you for violating "the law" and not an "executive order" because the prosecutor has to have a law broken to charge you with a crime. He can't charge you for breaking an "executive order."
and we all know the law says: "...but such term shall not include a person who makes occasional sales, exchanges, or purchases of firearms for the enhancement of a personal collection or for a hobby, or who sells all or part of his personal collection of firearms;"
And in free states, and some not so free ones; my guess is that the ATF isn't going to find alot of Federal DA's who want to clog their court docket with cases filled with law abiding, tax paying citizens being jacked up on "illegal selling" (with the equally sympathetic juries). Far too many muslim hate crimes, computer hackers, and ranchers to prosecute.
So guess who is going to go on doing exactly what he was doing before?
And when did making a profit when you sold a gun a crime?
Details from the ATF on when you need a license to sell. Nothing is different
