The law for handguns does not apply to rifles!!!!First of all, that is not Arizona law. And secondly all they have to say they didn't know the person they transfer the gun they just bought was not buying it for personal use in the state. There is no limit on how many long guns can be bought in Arizona and there is no registry reporting who is buying them in Arizona.

Loophole Cited
The ATF in December sought to mandate reporting requirements of long-gun sales in the four Southwestern border states of Arizona, California, New Mexico and Texas to help reduce guns going to Mexico. The mandate mirrored federal handgun regulations, which require dealers to notify state and federal law enforcement anytime a person buys two or more guns in the same week. It would not prohibit sales to anyone who passes the required background check.
But earlier this month, following strong opposition from more than a dozen U.S. senators, the White House budget office nixed the mandate. It said the issue did not rise to an emergency under the law.
The National Rifle Association praised the decision.
"Had this measure gone into effect, it would have resulted in a registry of law-abiding gun owners and it would also have placed unnecessary burdens on law-abiding firearms retailers," Chris Cox, executive director of the NRA Institute for Legislative Action, said in an e-mail.
Former Arizona Attorney General Terry Goddard says he supported the mandate, in large part because Mexico authorities in meetings pleaded with U.S. officials to stop the flow of U.S. guns into Mexico.
"It is a loophole that needs to be closed if we are at all serious about stopping the flood of guns going to Mexico," Goddard said. "If someone is buying four or five long guns of any version, this seems to be sufficiently unusual circumstances that it should be reported."
That's federal law Ed.
It is illegal to sell a firearm to anyone not a resident of your state.
That means it is your responsibility to ensure the buyer is a resident, by asking for an id.
I gifted a pistol to my Dad, a Florida resident...I live in Missouri.
I had to, by law, transfer the weapon to a Federal Firearm License holder in Missouri, he shipped it to a FFL in Florida, my Father had to have an instant backround check, then the Florida FFL Transfered the pistol to my Dad.
To do it any other way is illegal. Period.

"I didn't know" is no excuse.

That's because in Arizona, you can buy as many assault weapons as you want. And while gun dealers are required by federal law to report multiple handgun sales, you can buy an arsenal of Uzis and there is no requirement that law enforcement be notified.
Which is perhaps why the cartels consider Arizona the shopping center of choice for all their war-weaponry needs.
Read the law Ed...no matter how much you want it to be otherwise, the federal statute covers ALL firearms.
It is ILLEGAL to sell, trade, gift, or barter ANY firearm to any person not a citizen of your state.
I gave you the link, and here it is in black and white, for the second time.
(a) It shall be unlawful—
(5) for any person (other than a licensed importer, licensed manufacturer, licensed dealer, or licensed collector) to transfer, sell, trade, give, transport, or deliver any firearm to any person (other than a licensed importer, licensed manufacturer, licensed dealer, or licensed collector) who the transferor knows or has reasonable cause to believe does not reside in (or if the person is a corporation or other business entity, does not maintain a place of business in) the State in which the transferor resides
Meaning ANY Individual who sells, trades, gifts, transports or delivers ANY FIREARM purchased in Arizona to and Mexican national...they have committed a felony...end of discussion.
