176. Again, hard to believe that the inaccuracy isn't deliberate here.
Here is how the U.S. Code, Section 921, defines "dealer."

"The term "dealer" means (A) any person engaged in the business of selling firearms at wholesale or retail, (B) any person engaged in the business of repairing firearms or of making or fitting special barrels, stocks, or trigger mechanisms to firearms, or (C) any person who is a pawnbroker. The term "licensed dealer" means any dealer who is licensed under the provisions of this chapter <18 USCS §§ 921 et seq>."

See? Clear as mud. It's legal to sell firearms without a license, illegal to engage in the "business of selling firearms" without a license. I was right that there is no numerical limit, nor any requirement to record or report. The law as it reads is utterly unenforceable.
