I don't know if you're naive or simply confused, but how are you going to assure that the general public does this? What you described above applies to FFL's - these are licensed by BATFE and under the conditions of that license must allow BATFE to inspect their records whenever BATFE gets the urge. But that is entirely insufficient to make sure transfers between citizens actually go through an FFL. In other words, aside from simple goodwill, what enforcement mechanism would there be to make sure that John Doe A transferring to John Doe B goes through an FFL?
