I was under the impression that if it was a gift exchanged between two legally eligible people, no more paper work was required. I mean, I've given and been given guns in the past and I never filled out any paper work or even heard it was required.

This is true for transfers
within many (maybe even most) states, but not when it's between two different states. For example, I live in Oregon, if I wanted to gift a gun to someone else in Oregon, then all that is legally required is for me not to have any reason to believe the recipient isn't eligible. No paperwork, FFL's, etc.
I have a brother who lives in a neighboring state, however... so if I wanted to gift him a gun, or he wanted to gift a gun to me, it would need go through an FFL, fill out paperwork, and do the background check.
