from an FFL. After that, illegally-minded buyers and irresponsible gun owners can simply sell to just about anyone they please, with little chance of being held responsible to who they sell to, or even knowing if they did. 'I didn't know...' is a valid defense for most private sales.
Registration will assist keeping track of all sales, stolen guns, 'lost arms', straw purchases, serve as a deterence for those wishing to simply 'lose their guns in a boating accident', and give several options for further charging criminals, removing illegally possessed guns from the street, disarming felons who don't turn their guns in, etc.
UBC with registration slows the illegal flow of guns, which is a large contributor to gun crime.
