IN GENERAL.—It shall be unlawful for any per-
3 son, regardless of whether anything of value is exchanged,
4 to receive, or to transfer or otherwise dispose of to 1 or
5 more individuals, 2 or more firearms that have been

6 shipped or transported in interstate or foreign commerce,
7 knowing or having reasonable cause to believe that such
8 conduct will result in the disposing of 1 or more such fire-
9 arms to an individual—
10 ‘‘(1) whose possession or receipt of the firearm
11 would be unlawful; or
12 ‘‘(2) who intends to or will use, carry, possess,
13 or dispose of the firearm unlawfully.

The GCA does not allow any interstate commerce between non FFL holders. Once again, the GCA bans all interstate commerce between individuals without FFL regardless if that person may have a gun or not. Under current law, I can not legally sell you a gun. I can not go to a gun store in another state and walk out the door with it. It must be shipped to an FFL in Florida. Under the CGA, it does not matter if it is for a legal purpose or not. That makes the above law laxer than current law, and nice harmless theater.
