transfer the ownership to a FFL and have the FFL enter the purchase/sale into their record keeping. Then, should the gun show up at a crime scene and be traced to the original owner it would be a simple matter of contacting the FFL for the record of the sale.

Even at that the fee for a transfer is usually only $25 which is a paltry sum to have somebody else be responsible for the check and record keeping.
