So are ALL private firearms transactions private irrespective of residency?
Legally, you have to be an AZ resident. Easy enough to establish. Rent a place short term and go to the MVD or a private provider of MVD services and get a state ID Card for $3.00. (This is common practice for snow birds who over winter here, in case you ever wondered how your cousin from Hoboken got that cool AK he has stashed under his bed.)
If you are buying from me, be prepared to allow me to take a picture of your AZ state ID with the SSN obscured for my records only.

This only applies to private property transfers in the state of Arizona. Firearms are private property but firearm transfers are still subject to federal and state laws which prohibit interstate transfers.
This bill places an impediment on those who want to achieve gun owner registration in Arizona via “universal background check” requirements. We expect Bloomberg to push for a ballot measure in Arizona in 2016 like he has already done in Washington (state) and Nevada and attempted to do in Maine.
It’s coming. Trump’s election won’t stop Bloomberg from coming after you in Arizona. Doing nothing is surrendering.
A good question that I don't know the answer. I imagine if some guy from another state brought a firearm to AZ and sold it to a local, that would be OK, since the law didn't mention that it applied to residents only.
That's just my take, and I could be wrong. Actually, how would anyone know if the sale took place if neither buyer nor seller talked about it?
