Makes sense to me. HUGE liability. I will not do a private sale to just anyone either. If I do not have direct knowlege that they have recently been allowed to purchase a firearm legally, I will not sell one to them. The only exception that I will make is if they have a USG issued security clearance, and even then it would be rare.
I have only sold a few in my days, because of the liability. I have been known to trade some in to the FFL that I was using to buy my next firearm.
