It's really more complicated.

First, every sale is a transfer, but not every transfer is a sale.

Second, there is ample evidence that laws could be written to treat different kinds of transfer differently. For example, in
California private party transfers must go through a dealer. However, exceptions are made for certain transfers between members of one's immediate family or loans up to thirty days to someone known to the lender. And federal law provides the loan exception note in 18 USC 922(a)(5) quoted above.
