When I sell a gun to a private individual I ask to see his Kentucky driver's license. If it's a gun that I have filled out a 4473 on I will jot down the name in an Excel spreadsheet where I record all my serials. If there's no 4473 with my name on it I don't bother with recording the name but I still verify in-state residency.
There is one instance where the ATF does directly know that you own a gun. If the dealer you bought it from has gone out of business they were required to bundle up all their 4473 forms and send them to the ATF. THey are all probably sitting in some giant warehouse in Virginia somewhere. I have this mental image of the giant warehouse at the end of Raider's of the Lost Ark except filled with filing cabinets.
