If you purchase a car, new or used, whether through a dealer or a private party, that sale must be reported by the seller to your state's motor vehicle department. This is also true for certain dangerous and toxic chemicals and commodities. The same sort of system should be instituted for all firearms.
It is also the easiest way to get a hold of one, because the seller is not required to verify your home state. This is actually something that a background check requirment would slow down, because the seller would have to complete the transaction at a local dealer who would run the background check.
That's not quite true. The same rules that govern dealer transactions also govern private transactions. A background check isn't required, but the background check doesn't tell them your state of residence. A state ID or bills will usually verify your residence. Private individuals are not allowed to sell to someone underage, a felon, the mentally ill, or someone that doesn't live near them.

No. Why doesn't any state require background checks for all gun purchases.
The left cares little about facts. They only care that they are tolerant of anything but what white America cares about. Ban guns but let books of Islam go unfettered. Ban Christian holidays but promote Islam and tolerance of it. The left and its ilk are destroying the country.
The seller only collects the cash from the buyer, signs the title & registration paperwork and gives it to the buyer and that's all she wrote as far as the sellers involvement. The State is only notified when the buyer goes in to register the car and pay the sales tax on it.
I draft a Bil of Sale to protect myself in case something comes up later.

Oh, yeah that's how it is where I live too. The buyer does all the work and if they decide to use the car in a crime without filing the paperwork the seller is protected.

Private sellers are not required to validate your state of residence. That's the whole point.

Why don't you tell the reason. I tried to answer, but the answer was rejected, although it was technically correct.
Who would have imagined a couple folks who didn't have gun permits would have guns. I can't believe it myself. No word on whether they had bomb permits or not. Stupid liberals.
"CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) — A Massachusetts police official say the brothers suspected of bombing the Boston Marathon before having shootouts with authorities didn't have gun permits.
Cambridge Police Commissioner Robert Haas tells The Associated Press in an interview Sunday that neither Tamerlan Tsarnaev (tsahr-NEYE'-ehv) nor his brother Dzhokhar had permission to carry firearms.
He says it's unclear whether either ever applied and the applications aren't considered public records.
But he says the 19-year-old Dzhokhar (joh-KHAR') would have been denied a permit because of his age. Only people 21 or older are allowed gun licenses in Massachusetts."
This has been my side of this argument the whole time. Those that are not concerned about the laws against killing people, are hardly going to allow a little thing like gun controls to stop them.
Laws against drugs have certainly stopped the flow of drugs, haven't they?
Laws against bombs have certainly stopped the use of bombs, haven't they?
Plan on gun laws to be equally effective.
Better start looking for another way to stop the killing. Yes, there is one.
