A permit isn't required to purchase long guns in most states. I'm guessing it's for protection of the seller because if the buyer has a permit to purchase then they are most likely not a felon. In my state selling a long gun doesn't even require a drivers license as far as I know, because there aren't any laws about interstate sale of long guns.
