I looked up a few things and one of them says. If you are purchasing guns for a personal collection, you do not need a federal license.
Why do I need a FFL to buy a gun?
I'm just a average guy trying to get his favorite gun he seen in a movie many years ago.

Depending on where you live, you do not need an FFL to buy a gun. Private purchases of handguns and long guns are allowed in South Carolina as well as other states. Check your local laws.

If you mean "Why do I need the services of an FFL to purchase a firearm on Gun Broker"? The short answer is:
You don't, IF the purchase is from another non licensee who is also a resident of your home state and state laws allow for private transfers, and IF the seller is willing to send it directly to you (don't hold your breath). If the firearm crosses state lines, or if you purchase the firearm from a dealer, it has to be sent to an FFL; either a dealer or a if the gun qualifies as a Curio and Relic, to a C&R License holder (Type 03 FFL).
Keep in mind that if this turns into a gun rights topic it will be moved to that forum.
As long as your not a ex felon, or have any other legal reason you can't purchase a firearm. You can purchase a firearm from a resident of KY. Without going through a FFL.

You don't.
You *DO* need SOMEONE who has an FFL to act an INTERMEDIARY in the transfer if a gun crosses state lines. Then its "interstate commerce" and Federal law applies.
So if you buy a gun from out of State (say from a GunBroker.com auction) the gun gets shipped to an FFL in state, the FFL does the appropriate Federal background check, and assuming you pass, he can then legally transfer the gun to you.
You *DO* need an FFL if you are involved in COMMERCIAL SALE of guns. Sale is different than purchase.
