Zeke and Para, the simple of it is: a transaction between two individuals is unregulated. However, interstate (out-of-state), requires the intervention of a lics. FFL to complete a backround check at the receiving end. Let us take two senerios. (You know I live without spell check day-by-day, no matter what Ed says)...

1. You live in the next town. You want to buy my gun. I don't know, don't believe you are a felon or intend to use it in a criminal act... We meet at McDonalds and you buy my gun in the parking lot. Verdict: Legal.

part 2. interstate transaction.
2. You live in Virginia. I live in Colorado. You buy my gun on the internet. You want me to ship it to you. Well, whole new set of rules. *long-gun, hand-gun* You have to be an FFL (or C&R if that applies), to receive it directly. But I only have to be an individual selling a gun. BATF solution: I, as a seller, must ship it interstate to an FFL. I ship it to them, they do the "transfer" (i.e. back ground check), to you, and all is right with the world.

Rules on shipping can be covered elsewhere, or by me by PM.
