For EVERY firearm transfer. No just giving your gun to a friend or relative, no inheritance. It has to be sold, if only for a buck, and that sale has to be registered and have a background check. Every gun has to have a registered owner at every moment in time, and that registered owner shares liability if that gun is used to commit a crime unless they have reported it stolen.
