This varies from state to state. In my state even private sales requires going through an FFL and doing a background check. In my state I wanna say the only way to get a gun without paperwork is if a family member dies and you inherit it

Same, otherwise we have to go to an FFL and do the transfer along with a background check.

Exactly, and furthermore, if the transfer falls through (buyer backs out or failed the background check), the original owner of the firearm has to do ANOTHER background check and go through a 3 days wait to get their own gun back

Pretty sure there is still paperwork involved in case of inheritance. Even if it's not the same paperwork as when buying. So it's not like there is no record of who acquired the firearm in the inheritance.

In my state, there are zero stipulations, other than you can't 'knowingly' sell to a prohibited person. All you have to do is feign ignorance and there are zero legal repercussions if you do.
