Aren't these prohibited now or am I mistaken?

How so? The firearm is or was not a restricted item; there is no "transfer" to be approved, merely a PAL verification, which does not include any information about the firearm or other item in question. If the buyer's PAL is valid, it will be confirmed as such, and that's the end of it.

I'm not saying that there might not be future repercussions if info about this particular item or transaction is brought to light...perhaps by idiotic posts on a public forum?...but the PAL verification will proceed as described, and up to that point nothing illegal has been done.

I wonder if the OP also has his own traffic radar unit and sets up alongside the road, with the local cops on speed dial if he catches somebody going over the limit?

Latest process now is that since it is now a prohibited firearm it must be registered and therefore approved.

Yes, for a while the oic prohibs were being transferred with just a license verification (with prohibited privileges obviously), but as of a few months ago the CFP required a registration.

I just checked their site, and it seems they removed the prohibited gun in question.

It is worth noting, there is not a single bid and the entire site, this might have to do with their ridiculous starting prices.

Honestly, I've always felt that I was pretty much on top of the regs, but within the past couple years they change so fast and so often and in such an obscure manner that I wonder how anybody can keep track. Changes like this one ^ are obviously designed to keep us off balance, and hopefully to frighten us enough to just blindly do as we are told...legal or not...

Common sense would indicate that a firearm that has been "banned" cannot be transferred...but since they have no easy way to track and find these things, they allow these transfers...but insist that the firearms be registered...and thus become traceable. They're counting on us squealing on ourselves. Unbelievable.

Who am I kidding? Nothing these idiots do is beyond belief. :(

That's only if you are transferring it. One could continue to keep it under the amnesty without registering...

It does sort of make sense to me - transfer removes it from the amnesty and gets it registered as a prohibited where it does not have to be surrendered at the end of the OIC amnesty (later is always a possibility of course but for now we were told we can keep them for as long as the prohibited license is valid) They are making stuff up as they go along - that's for sure :) But that's what we get when laws and regulations are getting written without a legal review.
