California DMV says if you buy and sell for a profit, you need a dealer's license, without mention of the number per year. I was a California dealer for 20+ years and my experience was five annually could be bought and sold annually without DMV Investigation visiting. Any more than that will get their attention and you could face substantial penalties as the state has stepped up its hunt for revenue due to the poor economy thus less taxes....not to mention the yearn for its bureaucratic inspectors to be real policemen.
yes
Yes.
yes
No. If in your private home. If in a public place (such as a bar) yes.
If you're a private citizen, no. If you're a law enforcement officer, you had better have a good reason.

Only the fully automatic firearms that were already registered with the BATFE by May 1986 can be transferred to a private citizen. Which is why the price of a LEGAL, papered M16 that can be transferred is about $26,000. Since the supply is finite, prices have risen sharply.
no. as a private seller you are allowed to tranfer(sell) up to 5 cars for each 12 month period. however it has to be without the intention to make profit. if you are intending to make a profit you are not allowed to sell any cars without a dealer license. there are 2 types of license that i know about, wholesale, in which you can sell up to 25 cars per year but only to other dealers not to the public. if you wanna sell to the public you need a retail license. with a retail license there is no limit as to how many cars you can sell but you need a 50,000 bond versus a 10,000 that you need for a wholesale license.
You can sell 1 car. If you sell that 2nd car you are considered a used car dealer and required to get a used car dealers license.
Amendments to the US Constitution cannot be introduce by a private citizen. Amendments can only be introduced by a member of Congress.
You can buy used cars from dealers or private owners. Dealers are more reliable, but private owners generally sell for cheaper. A good combination is to look on craigslist in your area (making sure to be wary of scams) and cars.com, which allows you to search for local cars from both dealers and private owners.
Taxes are paid in California at the time you register the car with the Department Of Motor Vehicles. You do not pay tax to the person you are buying from.
