It's legal to sell a gun you made yourself, if you didn't make it to sell it. E.g. I make a gun for myself, keep it for long enough to plausibly demonstrate that intent, then later get bored with it and sell it. That's legal. But if I do that a lot, it'll start to seem like I'm making them to sell them and without a license that becomes illegal.

- MichaelCollins 4y agoIntent to sell is the key bit there. You can sell a gun you made yourself if you didn't make it with the intent to sell it. In the context of gun buybacks, there is generally some promise of amnesty that prevents enforcement against these illegal gun manufacturers. If they were pulled over on their way to the gun buyback, they could probably be successfully prosecuted.
