I didn't mention background checks and I don't care who questions what, Gunnar. Your babbling responses have nothing to do with my comment, which is frequently the case with you.
I simply noted that the ATF determines who qualifies as a dealer and issues the licenses; that's not something Obama is proposing to change.
I think the ATF is the right agency to continue doing so, personally. And, I like the idea that under Obama's proposal, the ATF will have more defined criteria as to what constitutes "dealing." Once the proposal is enacted, if you're dealing firearms at a gun show or over the internet, the ATF will have the means to better enforce the existing law and require you to get a license and run background checks on your potential buyers (same as law-abiding dealers already do).
You would not be subject to dealer review by the ATF for selling one of your grandfather's guns to your father; not now and not under Obama's new proposals, to the best of my understanding. But, maybe someone will pose a related question at Thursday's Town Hall.
