All private gun sales will stop on 12/7/2023. On that day, the ATF’s new definition of “dealer” goes into effect. If you sell any firearm for more than you paid for it, you are now a gun dealer and must have an FFL. Considering the ATF’s habit of scanning and keeping 4473’s, this is nothing more than registration, and registration ALWAYS leads to confiscation.
I think rather that private party sales will become completely private.
No paper. No rules. No records. A handshake, and an exchange of cash for weaponry.
No NICS checks.
No more give-a-damn.

If you’re going to hang everyone for thieves, expect bank robbery to become a growth industry.
And as Oleg Volk noted, if it’s going to be a felony to buy a gun privately, you might as well buy a home-made full auto submachinegun with a silencer.
They can only hang you once.
And ATF agents are going to move into the shoot-on-sight category in a lot of places.
Ask the Waco office how it works for morale when the range goes hot in both directions.
When you make half the country terrorists overnight, expect them to take you up on the offer.
With interest, and commendable zeal.
This is not going to work out for TPTB.
Even odds it’s mooted in court within a year, if not within this year.
