Do the FFL license holders register the serial number of guns the sell? Even if not the name of the purchaser.
I see the cop shows that always "run the serial number" and come back with names and past history. Of course most of those are set in NYC or LA and Chicago. Not in Slapout, OK.

It is my understanding (and I realize I could be completely wrong) that there is no permanent record kept of the sale. I know that, by law, all records of the NICS check are to be destroyed after approval.
It may very well be, as you are guessing, that there is a record of the "sold by" but not the "sold to". I honestly don't know. Good question, though. I've just never concerned myself with it. Many of my guns, due to their age, are bought from private parties, so in that case, I know darn good and well there is no record. Hmm... maybe one of our FFL's can clear this up for us.
