With respect, the legislative language, as I understand it, is triggered whenever there is any form of advertising, be it on the Internet or on Craigslist or The Greensheet or anything else, and that sweeps in a whole category of new sellers, purely private sellers who are not commercial firearms dealers.

Shifting to a new category of private law-abiding citizens is a major threshold and one that I think is unwise.
