In the case of a private sale, you’d need to prove that the seller knew or had reason to believe that the buyer was either unauthorized or had malicious intent. Even figuring out the seller in a private transaction would require some kind of record, which no one keeps anyway. It would also require that guns are registered by every owner, which isn’t required.

Not in Nevada.
