Once upon a time (assuming I understood it then) the responsibility for reporting transactions fell on the seller alone.
e.g. if I bought a gun from jimbob, and jimbob failed to mail in the paper FA10, I was A-OK. Jimbob might get in trouble if the state noticed within 6 years and could prove he didn't mail it, but I, as the buyer, would be fine.
But then everything went silly (because "universal background check") and there's only the portal thingie.
So, say I bought a different gun from Sally-Jo, and she somehow managed to mess up the online form so it doesn't go through, would I be in trouble, too, or just Sally-Jo?
