    Amazon may require a license to purchase Baofeng radios starting second quarter 2021.

    Unsure if this is aimed at the seller, who is NOT required to have a license to sell the radios - so that makes no sense - or the final purchaser.

    YOU are the first responder. Police, fire and medical are SECOND responders.
    When seconds count, the police are mere minutes away...
    Gun registration is gun confiscation in slow motion.

    The seller will have to provide the FCC certification information before being able to list the item on amazon

    Funny thing is, the Baofengs do have an FCC certification number for Part 90 (commercial use). They are not Part 95 certified, so they are not legal to operate on the FMRS / GMRS. So the Baofengs will not disappear off amazon due to this.

    From the amazon link:
    in order to create new listings or update existing listings of radio frequency devices you will need to fill in the FCC Radio Frequency Emission Compliance attribute. In the attribute, you must do one of the following:
    Provide evidence of Federal Communications Commission (FCC) authorization – either an FCC certification number or contact information for the Responsible Party, as defined by the FCC.
    or certify that the product is exempt from FCC requirements.
    'Unless a law-abiding individual has a firearm for his or her own defense, the police typically arrive after it is too late. With rigor mortis setting in, they mark and bag the evidence, interview bystanders, and draw a chalk outline on the ground' - Judge Benitez , 2019, Duncan v. Becerra.

    'One of the ordinary modes by which Tyrants accomplish their purpose without resistance is by disarming the people and making it an offense to keep arms.' Supreme Court Justice Joseph Story, 1840.

    Where do you get that Amazon would possibly require a license to purchase a radio from that link?

    In all honesty, I don't see the text that implied that anymore...

    Took me a couple weeks to re-find the link to the announcement and I didn't re-read it.
