It is not that Bubba does not have to do a BGC.
It is that Bubba is prohibited from using the NICS checks a BGC by the same federal law that requires FFLs to do a background check.

With or without a BGC, Bubba is still responsible for not selling to prohibited buyers. It is just harder for him to figure out who is who. The common method is to require the buyer to have a concealed weapon permit.
