intent
underlying the sale or  | 
| 7 |  | disposition of firearms is predominantly one of
obtaining  | 
| 8 |  | livelihood and pecuniary gain, as opposed to other intents,  | 
| 9 |  | such as
improving or liquidating a personal firearms  | 
| 10 |  | collection; however, proof of
profit shall not be required  |

| 24 |  | the transfer of a firearm to a person who is exempt from  | 
| 25 |  | the requirement of possessing a Firearm Owner's  | 
| 26 |  | Identification Card under Section 2 of the Firearm Owners  | 
|     |

| 16 |  | paragraph (k) shall not be liable for damages in any  | 
| 17 |  | civil action arising from the use or misuse by the  | 
| 18 |  | transferee of the firearm transferred, except for  | 
| 19 |  | willful or wanton misconduct on the part of the seller  | 
| 20 |  | or transferor.  | 
| 21 |  |   (l) Not
being entitled to the possession of a firearm,  | 
| 22 |  | delivers the
firearm, knowing it to have been stolen or  |
