14. The process is exactly the same in every gun store.

They all are required to have a federal firearms license (FFL), they all keep the same records, they all are subject to the same federal audits and are all subject to the same penalties for non-compliance.

You may be thinking of a private sale where an individual - not a gun store - sells a gun to a friend or other individual. In some states, this isn't legal (all gun transfers have to happen through an FFL) and in some states it is. But according to federal law, anyone who makes a business of selling guns (that excludes individuals who decide to sell one or two guns because they need the money, or for some other reason) is required to have an FFL and follow the same process.
