In individual on a local forum posted that he was raided by the ATF this past Wednesday (Dec. 6) for being a "dealer" without an FFL for selling on Armslist and the forum.
I have no other knowledge other than what the poster has presented (nothing showing in local news)...

Guys, just letting the community know the AFT is out there and is taking names. I was raided by them this morning at 6:30, and they were here for several hours. They took EVERYTHING: all guns, ammo, AR lowers and uppers, and suppressors. I had north of 120 guns, over 70k rounds of ammo of all calibers, and 7 suppressors--all probably over $200k of stuff I've accumulated over many years. All gone. I don't even have a daily carry or a hunting rifle. They also took my phone, my wife's iPad, and my 2 computers. I have no idea if I'll ever get any back or when. They accused me of dealing without a license, and they specifically called out Armslist. They got another friend same time today, and he had over $500k in stuff. You've been warned.I honestly don't know, maybe 1-2 a month. I had more to sell this year because a friend asked me to help sell 3-4 because he needed money. They took his guns too. I've heard the numbers 2 per year up to 5 per month before they consider you a "dealer", but I've never seen anything formal, legal, or official.
I wasn't dealing. I'm an enthusiast and hobbyist and kitchen table gunsmith. I buy one and keep it if I like it. If not, I sell or trade it.
I believe without reservation they are "waiting to pounce". There's a lot more I could say, but...
I've already talked to an attorney, and I'll keep everyone updated. This is gonna be a long road.They said selling firearms but not being a licensed FFL. They never said I was over some threshold. I've never heard what some threshold might even be. As I said, I'm an enthusiast and like to try stuff. If I didn't like, I'd try something else. I'll come back and update when I know more. It's gonna be a long road.
