When you have a background check done, the FBI collates a bunch of information. By law, they're supposed to destroy it but we know that's incredibly unlikely.
Likewise, when you purchase the gun, they record everything about you and the applicable serial numbers. Chances are non-zero that the .gov could use this information to dox the owner of these weapons and pay them a visit.
I love Sunday Gunday, but I'd never post pictures of anything I own (that was tragically lost in a boating accident 2 years from today) for this reason.
Serial number is never officially tied to your name. You could sell the gun as soon as you buy it and you’re not required to keep any paperwork from a private sale. If the government ever asks you about the gun you can just say you sold it. Nothing they can do.
Depends on where you live. In California all private party gun sales are required to go through a licensed dealer and be registered last I heard. And if a gun gets stolen and is used in a crime, if the owner didn't have the gun secured in a locked safe when it was stolen then they are held as liable for the crime as the person who committed the crime. This is according to a firearms instructor I know.
