Would I not already know the buyer's personal information? I would have had to determine he was who he said he was and not a straw purchaser.

I've never sold a firearm, never disposed of one in any way other than giving it to a family member. But I like the idea of running a sale through NICS so any seller can cover his ass if a buyer misuses the gun criminally.
