4. I don't know if I should be sad or glad that Beck's rag

reported this as poorly as everyone else other than gun blogs. But then, it isn't like he is going to attract a higher quality of journalist than anyone else.
It doesn't expand anything, it simply copied and pasted current law since 1986. If you buy a gun and "flip it", you are in the business. that is what the law has said for nearly 30 years even though few people may have not been aware of it. Maybe that is the important part, it is a little known provision so perhaps that education is important. It reminds me of another little known law.
Every now and then, I hear old timers, really old timers, talk about the good old days when they could send handguns through USPS. Little did they seem to know that they were violating the little known Mailing of Firearms Act, aka the Miller Act, that was signed by Calvin Coolidge in 1927.

If the EAs are no big deal, why is the NRA and Republican politicians blowing them out of proportion you ask? To paraphrase a line from Spaceballs
Fund raising, Fund raising, Fund raising, Fund raising, Fund raising, Fund raising
