So, in the US, you're unable to purchase a firearm without registering it by using form 4473?

From a dealer, no. The 4473 is required every time. You can purchase a gun from a private individual in some states without the 4473. However, few people would sell you one without at least making a copy of your driver's license, as if the gun were used in a crime and a trace done, the paper trail would end with the seller.
