Yup. I think 'gun shows/expos' are allowed to sell weapons without any checking etc in some states. Literally turn up, hand over cash, walk out with it. Not sure how true that is though.
Part of the idea of having a weapon registered to a licence is then you need to account for it. If it's used in a crime and the serial number is registered to you then you need to explain how it came to be in the possession of the person who committed the crime.
