Handguns are recorder when a dealer sells them, yes.  But who keeps that info, and for how long (by federal law)? Only five states require gun registration (eight if you count reporting to law enforcement), and it’s illegal to have a federal gun registry.  Only 18 states require a BG check for private sales.

I don’t think anyone tries to enforce an FFL-like transfer on private sales.  It’s simply impossible.  When I buy or sell a firearm privately these days, I keep a record of the transaction for my own protection, as well as to try and stay as legal as I can.  But I have bought guns for cash with no record in the past.  As you said, as long as you don’t run afoul of the law, it probably doesn’t matter.

In regards to California there is a state registry. So it’s an easy way to discover at least with handguns.

Granted.  But when it comes to a choice between guns and CA, I opted to never move back to CA.  I prefer not to jump thru silly state hoops to enjoy my firearms.
