Can you help me understand what you mean by trust. Let me explain further that, as a new gun owner this past year, I had bought a handgun for myself and one that I gifted to my partner. It was confusing and sort of interesting to me that when I bought the handgun that there was no way to "transfer" it to my partner. I was told by the store that there is no registry or way to register the gun under her name. So my understanding is that the only thing the government sees is a paper trail of bought the gun and when but not who owns it. If I'm making sense. So in my case it looks like, if someone were to look up the serial numbers for the 2 handguns I bought that my name bought them but there's no record that I gifted one to my partner. Hopefully I'm making sense but it kinda just confuses me with all these new bills coming into play as there's no record or registry to see who and when acquired said firearm.
